Hyperpolarization-activated Ca2+ channels
Important aspects of the regulatory properties of plant calcium channels have been discovered during the past few years. These include the control of plasma membrane-bound channels by regulatory proteins and the characterization of a plethora of intracellular calcium release channels. Deciphering the mechanisms of regulation of different Ca2+ channels and the probable co-operation of their acti...
متن کاملRedox modulation of hslo Ca2+-activated K+ channels.
The modulation of ion channel proteins by cellular redox potential has emerged recently as a significant determinant of channel function. We have investigated the influence of sulfhydryl redox reagents on human brain Ca2+-activated K+ channels (hslo) expressed in both human embryonic kidney 293 cells and Xenopus oocytes using macropatch and single-channel analysis. Intracellular application of ...
متن کاملRole of Ca2+-activated K+ channels in human erythrocyte apoptosis.
Exposure of erythrocytes to the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin has recently been shown to induce cell shrinkage, cell membrane blebbing, and breakdown of phosphatidylserine asymmetry, all features typical of apoptosis of nucleated cells. Although breakdown of phosphatidylserine asymmetry is thought to result from activation of a Ca2+-sensitive scramblase, the mechanism and role of cell shrinkage have...
متن کاملSTIM1-mediated bidirectional regulation of Ca2+ entry through voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC) and calcium-release activated channels (CRAC)
The spatial and temporal regulation of cellular calcium signals is modulated via two main Ca(2+) entry routes. Voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels (VGCC) and Ca(2+)-release activated channels (CRAC) enable Ca(2+) flow into electrically excitable and non-excitable cells, respectively. VGCC are well characterized transducers of electrical activity that allow Ca(2+) signaling into the cell in response t...
متن کاملCa2+-activated K+ channels: from protein complexes to function.
Molecular research on ion channels has demonstrated that many of these integral membrane proteins associate with partner proteins, often versatile in their function, or even assemble into stable macromolecular complexes that ensure specificity and proper rate of the channel-mediated signal transduction. Calcium-activated potassium (K(Ca)) channels that link excitability and intracellular calciu...
