Presynaptic HCN Channels Regulate Vesicular Glutamate Transport
The amount of neurotransmitter stored in synaptic vesicles determines postsynaptic quantal size and thus the strength of synaptic transmission. However, little is known about regulation of vesicular neurotransmitter uptake. In recordings from the calyx of Held, a giant mammalian glutamatergic synapse, we found that changes in presynaptic Na(+) concentration above and below a resting value of 13...
متن کاملNon-equilibrium behavior of HCN channels: insights into the role of HCN channels in native and engineered pacemakers.
OBJECTIVE I(f), encoded by the hyperpolarization-activated, cyclic nucleotide-modulated (HCN) channel gene family, modulates cardiac pacing. During cardiac pacing, changes in membrane potential are rapid, preventing the very slow HCN channels from reaching equilibrium. Here, we examined the properties of HCN channels under non-equilibrium conditions to shed insight into how different HCN isofor...
متن کاملAntimicrobial activity of native and synthetic surfactant protein B peptides.
Surfactant protein B (SP-B) is secreted into the airspaces with surfactant phospholipids where it reduces surface tension and prevents alveolar collapse at end expiration. SP-B is a member of the saposin-like family of proteins, several of which have antimicrobial properties. SP-B lyses negatively charged liposomes and was previously reported to inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli in vitro; ...
متن کاملHCN channels and heart rate.
Hyperpolarization and Cyclic Nucleotide (HCN) -gated channels represent the molecular correlates of the "funny" pacemaker current (I(f)), a current activated by hyperpolarization and considered able to influence the sinus node function in generating cardiac impulses. HCN channels are a family of six transmembrane domain, single pore-loop, hyperpolarization activated, non-selective cation channe...
