Sensing voltage for function
original form after stretching but can also be irreversibly deformed. This viscoelasticity makes clots stiff enough to stem blood flow but pliable enough not to become obstructive. Weisel’s group investigated the mechanical properties of individual fibers that confer viscoelasticity to clots. They used laser tweezers to pull on beads attached to fibrin fibers within clots that were prepared fro...
متن کاملMolecular Models of Voltage Sensing
Voltage-gated ion channels have always been overachievers. They have the singular distinction of having solved the permeation problem five times over. Not only do they have a central, highly selective pore through which they conduct charged ions, they also have four peripheral “pores” or gating canals through which they conduct the charged portions of their voltage sensors. This trick of protei...
متن کاملVoltage-sensing and Substate Rectification
The article by Bukauskas et al. (2002) in this issue of The Journal addresses several key issues in the structure– function of connexin channels, and suggests a structural link between voltage-sensitive gating and the charge in the pore. Previous work on connexin32 (Cx32) noted a correlation between the sign of voltage-sensing charges and the rectification of the subconduc-tance state induced b...
متن کاملPreliminary Design of Spacecraft Attitude Control with Pulse-Width Pulse-Frequency Modulator for Rest-to-Rest Maneuvers
In this paper, the preferred region of design parameters for quasi-normalized equations of single-axis attitude control of rigid spacecraft using pulse-width pulse-frequency modulator (PWPFM) is presented for rest-to-rest maneuvers. Using the quasi-normalized equations for attitude control reduces the system parameters, that is, the moment of inertia, the filter gain, and the maximum torque of ...
متن کاملAnother story of arginines in voltage sensing: the role of phosphoinositides in coupling voltage sensing to enzyme activity
The sensing of transmembrane electrical potential has long been thought to be unique to voltage-gated ion channels. Recently, however, transmembrane voltage has been shown to regulate the enzymatic activity of a protein, called voltage-sensing phosphatase (VSP), that is conserved across diverse phyla (Murata et al., 2005; Murata and Okamura, 2007; Hossain et al., 2008). In VSP, the voltage sens...
