متن کاملArchitecture and pore block of eukaryotic voltage-gated sodium channels in view of NavAb bacterial sodium channel structure.
The X-ray structure of the bacterial sodium channel NavAb provides a new template for the study of sodium and calcium channels. Unlike potassium channels, NavAb contains P2 helices in the outer-pore region. Because the sequence similarity between eukaryotic and prokaryotic sodium channels in this region is poor, the structural similarity is unclear. We analyzed it by using experimental data on ...
متن کاملAcute alcohol action and desensitization of ligand-gated ion channels.
Ethanol exerts its biological actions through multiple receptors, including ion channels. Ion channels that are sensitive to pharmacologically relevant ethanol concentrations constitute a heterogeneous set, including structurally unrelated proteins solely sharing the property that their gating is regulated by a ligand(s). Receptor desensitization is almost universal among these channels, and it...
متن کاملAction of Clathrodin and Analogues on Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels
Clathrodin is a marine alkaloid and believed to be a modulator of voltage-gated sodium (Na(V)) channels. Since there is an urgent need for small molecule Na(V) channel ligands as novel therapeutics, clathrodin could represent an interesting lead compound. Therefore, clathrodin was reinvestigated for its potency and Na(V) channel subtype selectivity. Clathrodin and its synthetic analogues were s...
متن کاملVoltage-gated calcium-channels and antiarrhythmic drug action.
1. Introduction this has substantially contributed to a greatly expanded knowledge of cardiac (and indeed non-cardiac) ion channel Calcium-channels, blockers have an established role in structure-function relationships [22]. This explosion of the management of cardiac arrhythmias [1–5]. They were knowledge however has not yet resulted in any useful new identified empirically with the idea of ac...
