Voltage-gated and inwardly rectifying potassium channels

The Journal of Physiology
L Y Jan, Y N Jan

Abstract

This lecture is dedicated to Max Delbrück and Seymour Benzer. Max Delbrück was our graduate advisor. He introduced us to a variety of biophysical problems, and taught us ways of thinking about these problems by example. Potassium channels was one of the topics included in his journal club in the early seventies; Max also carefully considered the feasibility of purifying potassium channels then. It was in Seymour Benzer's laboratory that we began to look for Drosophila mutants that affect synaptic transmission at the larval neuromuscular junction. Shaker was the first behavioural mutant we tested that gave a robust phenotype, a phenotype that could be mimicked by treating wild-type preparations with a potassium channel blocker. This mutant fly has led us to our subsequent molecular studies of potassium channels. Since we settled in the University of California, San Francisco, and began to study neural development as well as potassium channels, we have settled into the pattern of each attending meetings and presenting our studies on one of these two areas so as to avoid both being away from home and our children at the same time. In following this pattern, I will be presenting the studies of potassium channels as part of our long...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

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. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
