Abstract

The mechanism by which the cytoskeletal protein actin affects the conductance of amiloride-sensitive epithelial sodium channels (ENaC) was studied in planar lipid bilayers. In the presence of monomeric actin, we found a decrease in the single-channel conductance of alpha-ENaC that did not occur when the internal [Ca2+]free was buffered to <10 nM. An analysis of single-channel kinetics demonstrated that Ca2+ induced the appearance of long-lived closed intervals separating bursts of channel activity, both in the presence and in the absence of actin. In the absence of actin, the duration of these bursts and the time spent by the channel in its open, but not in its short-lived closed state, were inversely proportional to [Ca2+]. This, together with a lengthening of the interburst intervals, translated into a dose-dependent decrease in the single-channel open probability. In contrast, a [Ca2+]-dependent decrease in alpha-ENaC conductance in the presence of actin was accompanied by lengthening of the burst intervals with no significant changes in the open or closed (both short- and long-lived) times. We conclude that Ca2+ acts as a "fast-to-intermediate" blocker when monomeric actin is present, producing a subsequent attenuation of t...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule.
