متن کاملVDAC inhibition by tubulin and its physiological implications.
Regulation of mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM) permeability has dual importance: in normal metabolite and energy exchange between mitochondria and cytoplasm, and thus in control of respiration, and in apoptosis by release of apoptogenic factors into the cytosol. However, the mechanism of this regulation involving the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), the major channel of MOM, remains co...
متن کاملMechanism of voltage-dependent gating in skeletal muscle chloride channels.
Voltage-dependent gating was investigated in a recombinant human skeletal muscle Cl- channel, hCIC-1, heterologously expressed in human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) cells. Gating was found to be mediated by two qualitatively distinct processes. One gating step operates on a microsecond time scale and involves the rapid rearrangement of two identical intramembranous voltage sensors, each consistin...
متن کاملStructural models of TREK channels and their gating mechanism.
Mechanosensitive TREK channels belong to the family of K2P channels, a family of widely distributed, well modulated channels that uniquely have two similar or identical subunits, each with two TM1-P-TM2 motifs. Our goal is to build viable structural models of TREK channels, as representatives of K2P channels family. The structures available to be used as templates belong to the 2TM channels sup...
متن کاملA new mechanism of voltage-dependent gating exposed by KV10.1 channels interrupted between voltage sensor and pore
Voltage-gated ion channels couple transmembrane potential changes to ion flow. Conformational changes in the voltage-sensing domain (VSD) of the channel are thought to be transmitted to the pore domain (PD) through an α-helical linker between them (S4-S5 linker). However, our recent work on channels disrupted in the S4-S5 linker has challenged this interpretation for the KCNH family. Furthermor...
