متن کاملRegulation of cation channel voltage and Ca2+ dependence by multiple modulators.
Ion channel regulation is key to controlling neuronal excitability. However, the extent that modulators and gating factors interact to regulate channels is less clear. For Aplysia, a nonselective cation channel plays an essential role in reproduction by driving an afterdischarge in the bag cell neurons to elicit egg-laying hormone secretion. We examined the regulation of cation channel voltage ...
متن کاملRegulation of cation channel voltage- and Ca-dependence in Aplysia bag cell neurons
Ion channel regulation is key to the control of excitability and behaviour. In the bag cell neurons of Aplysia californica, a voltageand Ca-dependent nonselective cation channel drives a ~30-minute afterdischarge, culminating in the release of egglaying hormone. Using excised, inside-out single channel patch-clamp, this study tested the hypothesis that inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), which ...
متن کاملRegulation of TRPM2 by Extra- and Intracellular Calcium
TRPM2 is a calcium-permeable nonselective cation channel that is opened by the binding of ADP-ribose (ADPR) to a C-terminal nudix domain. Channel activity is further regulated by several cytosolic factors, including cyclic ADPR (cADPR), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP), Ca(2+) and calmodulin (CaM), and adenosine monophosphate (AMP). In addition, intracellular ions typically u...
متن کاملPolycystin-2 is a novel cation channel implicated in defective intracellular Ca(2+) homeostasis in polycystic kidney disease.
Mutations in polycystins-1 and -2 (PC1 and PC2) cause autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), which is characterized by progressive development of epithelial renal cysts, ultimately leading to renal failure. The functions of these polycystins remain elusive. Here we show that PC2 is a Ca(2+)-permeable cation channel with properties distinct from any known intracellular channels. I...
