How fast does the GluR1Qflip channel open?
Opening of a ligand-gated ion channel is the step at which the binding of a neurotransmitter is transduced into the electrical signal by allowing ions to flow through the transmembrane channel, thereby altering the postsynaptic membrane potential. We report the kinetics for the opening of the GluR1Qflip channel, an alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor subunit of the...
متن کاملHow does voltage open an ion channel?
Neurons transmit information through electrical signals generated by voltage-gated ion channels. These channels consist of a large superfamily of proteins that form channels selective for potassium, sodium, or calcium ions. In this review we focus on the molecular mechanisms by which these channels convert changes in membrane voltage into the opening and closing of "gates" that turn ion conduct...
متن کاملHow a channel springs open
ntercalation—the slotting of cells in between one another—is an established method for converting short and fat into long and slim. This is all very well in slippery, adhesion-sparse mesenchymal tissues. But many such extension events occur in epithelial tissues, where cells are glued together by adhesion complexes. Claire Bertet, Lawrence Sulak, and Thomas Lecuit (IBDM, Marseille, France) now ...
متن کاملHow ATP Inhibits the Open KATP Channel
ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels are composed of four pore-forming Kir6.2 subunits and four regulatory SUR1 subunits. Binding of ATP to Kir6.2 leads to inhibition of channel activity. Because there are four subunits and thus four ATP-binding sites, four binding events are possible. ATP binds to both the open and closed states of the channel and produces a decrease in the mean open time...
متن کاملHow Fast Does the Walk Run ?
The Grr obner Walk is an algorithm which converts a given Grr obner basis of a polynomial ideal I of arbitrary dimension to a Grr obner basis of I with respect to another term order. The conversion is done in several steps (the walk) following a path in the Grr obner fan of I. We report on our experiences with a rst implementation of the walk connected with a state-of-the-art Grr obner basis pa...
