S4 movement in a mammalian HCN channel 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Hyperpolarization-activated, cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channels (HCN) mediate an inward cation current that contributes to spontaneous rhythmic firing activity in the heart and the brain. HCN channels share sequence homology with depolarization-activated Kv channels, including six transmembrane domains and a positively charged S4 segment. S4 has been shown to function as the voltage sensor and to undergo a voltage-dependent movement in the Shaker K+ channel (a Kv channel) and in the spHCN channel (an HCN channel from sea urchin). However, it is still unknown whether S4 undergoes a similar movement in mammalian HCN channels. In this study, we used cysteine accessibility to determine whether there is voltage-dependent S4 movement in a mammalian HCN1 channel. Six cysteine mutations (R247C, T249C, I251C, S253C, L254C, and S261C) were used to assess S4 movement of the heterologously expressed HCN1 channel in Xenopus oocytes. We found a state-dependent accessibility for four S4 residues: T249C and S253C from the extracellular solution, and L254C and S261C from the internal solution. We conclude that S4 moves in a voltage-dependent manner in HCN1 channels, similar to its movement in the spHCN channel. This S4 movement suggests that the role of S4 as a voltage sensor is conserved in HCN channels. In addition, to determine the reason for the different cAMP modulation and the different voltage range of activation in spHCN channels compared with HCN1 channels, we constructed a COOH-terminal-deleted spHCN. This channel appeared to be similar to a COOH-terminal-deleted HCN1 channel, suggesting that the main functional differences between spHCN and HCN1 channels are due to differences in their COOH termini or in the interaction between the COOH terminus and the rest of the channel protein in spHCN channels compared with HCN1 channels. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine the first effect of lead on microbial activity in soil. The study was carried out in the soil samples from four different radish (Raphanus sativus L. var. radicula, Brassicaceae) fields along the highway in a district (Kadirli, Osmaniye) of the Eastern Mediterranean Region, Turkey. After the calculation of Pb contents, the Pb amounts of the soil samples were brought up to 50 and 100 mg Pb kg?1 by treatment with Pb(NO 3 ) 2 , and the samples for the carbon and the nitrogen mineralization were incubated under controlled conditions (28°C, constant moist). The carbon mineralization was determined by a CO 2 respiration method for 30 days. The nitrogen mineralization was observed in vitro for 6 weeks. The untreated group was statistically different from the 50 and 100 mg Pb kg?1 treatments in the aspect of the C(CO 2 ) outlet during mineralization (P ≤ 0.05), but difference between the 50 and 100 mg Pb kg?1 treatments was not significant. NH 4 -N and NO 3 -N contents of each soil were shown differences between across treatments. Based on these results, it is possible to conclude that the addition of 50 and 100 mg Pb kg?1 provided a toxic effect threshold for the microbial activity into 30 days. 相似文献

Twelve fungi namelyAlternaria alternata, Aspergillus flavus, A niger, A ochraceus, Actinomucor repens, Capnodoium spp., Curvularia lunata, Fusarium
pallidoroseum, F solani, F verticillioides, Penicillium citrinum and Rhizopus stolonifer were recorded from samples ofAegle marmelos, Aesculus indica, Buchanania lanzan andPinus gerardiana. In case ofPrunus amygdalus only Rstolonifer was recorded. A significant variation in pattern of mycoflora incidence was observed in terms of source and season. Fungal
infestation in most of the substrates was found to be highest during monsoon. Aflatoxins were the most common mycotoxins elaborated
by different isolates ofA flavus obtained fromA marmelos, B lanzan andP gerardiana. The amount of aflatoxins produced by the toxigenic isolates ofA flavus was in the range of traces to 0.9–26.0 μg/ml inA marmelos, 0.8–17.5 μg/ml inP gerardiana and 0.65–13.2 μg/ml inB lanzan. The percentage toxigenicity was comparatively lower in the isolates of other mycotoxigenic fungi. Aflatoxins were detected
almost in all the samples analyzed for mycotoxin contamination. However, traces of zearalenone were detected inA marmelos. The concentration of aflatoxin B1 was in the range of 0.13–0.75 μg/g inA marmelos, 0.09–0.60 μg/g inP gerardiana and 0.01–0.20 ug/g inB lanzan. Mycotoxins were not detected inAesculus indica andPrunus amygdalus. 相似文献

BackgroundIntensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) has the perceived advantage of function preservation by reduction of toxicities in the treatment of laryngo-pharyngeal malignancies. The aim of the study was to assess changes in dysphagia from baseline (i.e. prior to start of treatment) at three and six months post treatment in patients with laryngo-pharyngeal malignancies treated with radical radiotherapy ± chemotherapy. Functional assessment of other structures involved in swallowing was also studied.Materials and methods40 patients were sampled consecutively. 33 were available for final analysis. Dysphagia, laryngeal edema, xerostomia and voice of patients were assessed at baseline and at three and six months after treatment. Radiation was delivered with simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) using volumetric modulated radiation therapy (VMAT). Concurrent chemotherapy was three weekly cisplatin 100 mg/m2.ResultsProportion of patients with dysphagia rose significantly from 45.5% before the start of treatment to 57.6% at three months and 60.6% at six months post treatment (p = 0.019). 67% patients received chemotherapy and addition of chemotherapy had a significant correlation with dysphagia (p = 0.05, r = −0.336). Severity of dysphagia at three and six months correlated significantly with the mean dose received by the superior constrictors (p = 0.003, r = 0.508 and p = 0.024, r = 0.391) and oral cavity (p = 0.001, r = 0.558 and p = 0.003, r = 0.501). There was a significant worsening in laryngeal edema at three and six months post treatment (p < 0.01) when compared to the pre-treatment examination findings with 60.6% of patients having grade two edema at six months. Significant fall in the mean spoken fundamental frequency from baseline was seen at 6 months (p = 0.04), mean fall was 21.3 Hz (95% CI: 1.5–41 Hz) with significant increase in roughness of voice post treatment (p = 0.01).ConclusionThere was progressive worsening in dysphagia, laryngeal edema and voice in laryngo-pharyngeal malignancies post radical radiotherapy ± chemotherapy. 相似文献
