First published February 21, 2007; doi:10.1152/ajpcell.00437.2006.—During the cardiac action potential, Ca entry through dyhidropyridine receptor L-type Ca channels (DHPRs) activates ryano...

Citrus huanglongbing (HLB), also known as citrus greening (3), is considered the most serious disease of citrus worldwide (8). The disease has long been present in Asia, Africa, the Indian subcontinent, the Mascarene Islands, and the Arabian Peninsula (2). It has only recently been found in South and North America (16,26). The pathogen is a gram-negative bacterium belonging to the alpha subdivi...

A novel candidate species of the liberibacter genus, 'Candidatus Liberibacter brunswickensis' (CLbr), was identified in the Australian eggplant psyllid, Acizzia solanicola. This is the first discovery of a species belonging to the liberibacter genus in Australia and the first report of a liberibacter species in the psyllid genus Acizzia. This new candidate liberibacter species has not been asso...

The antiviral activity of L-chicoric acid against HIV-1 has been attributed previously to the inhibition of HIV-1 integration. This conclusion was based on the inhibition of integrase activity in enzymatic assays and the isolation of a resistant HIV strain with a mutation (G140S) in the integrase gene. Here we show that the primary antiviral target of L-CA and its analogs in cell culture is vir...

To investigate the cellular mechanisms for altered Ca homeostasis and contractility in cardiac hypertrophy, we measured whole-cell L-type Ca currents (ICa,L), whole-cell Ca 21 transients ([Ca]i), and Ca 21 sparks in ventricular cells from 6-month-old spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) and from ageand sex-matched Wistar-Kyoto and Sprague-Dawley control rats. By echocardiography, SHR hearts h...
