Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protein sorting and trafficking are regulated by well-conserved mechanisms. These allow a distinctive set of resident proteins to be present in the correct subcellular organelle, which is required for proper cell functioning. Voltage-gated ion channels, as responsible for cardiomyocyte action potential, must be properly localized. They participate in cell excitability and electrical coupling, ensuring uninterrupted and rhythmic heart beating. Ion channel complexes comprise one or more pore-forming α subunits, associated β subunits, and additional proteins. Channel localization and function are regulated by the β subunits and associated proteins, such as cytoskeletal elements, cell-adhesion molecules, and adaptors. These influence protein targeting, anchoring, and retention in specific surface domains along the cardiomyocyte sarcolemma, such as intercalated discs, T-tubules, or the lateral membrane. Alterations in ion channel trafficking are the cause of channelopathies associated with inherited arrhythmias leading to sudden death. An outstanding question is how these molecular alterations lead to disease. In this volume, scientists share their vision to understand how cardiac ion channel trafficking is regulated and how it may become altered, leading to channelopathies that often turn into deadly arrhythmias. Data generated can be translated to a clinical context, hopefully turning into approaches to help prevention and treatment, which is of utmost importance, both medically and socially.

Download or read book Efficient Particle based Simulation of Ion Channels written by David D. Marreiro and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main objective of this work is to demonstrate the validity of a Poisson Particle-Particle--Particle-Mesh (P3M) coupled with a Brownian Dynamics (BD) engine simulation tool in modeling charge transport in biological ion channels. The challenges of ion channel modeling are presented with the underlying physical considerations. The details of the P3M force field scheme and its implementation are presented. The BD algorithm and the various integration schemes for the particle dynamics are presented and compared. The numerical model proposed for the electrolyte solution, the membrane and the ion channel are discussed. A set of benchmarks are defined and motivated to validate the numerical representation of the system. Analytical models are proposed for the electrolyte solution in bulk and interfacial conditions: the Hypernetted Chain (HNC) approximation is used in conjunction with the Ornstein-Zernike integral equation theory to describe the electrolyte solution, and provide a comparison with the simulation results. Similarly, the Gouy-Chapman Double Layer (DL) theory is used to compute analytical benchmarks for the membrane-solution interface simulation. The P3M BD simulation of bulk electrolyte solutions and membrane-solution interfaces is validated by comparison with the proposed analytical benchmarks. The range of valid numerical parameters for the system is determined by defining and applying an error analysis methodology. Subsequently, the well-studied OmpF porin channel from bacterium E. coli is used as a test case to validate the proposed charge transport simulation approach. Potential mapping of the pore is performed for different ion types. Dynamic charge transport simulations are performed, and macroscopic channel conductance values are extracted and compared with published experimental measurements as well as other numerical models. The applicability of the P3M BD simulation is discussed, and compared with other numerical models from the computational cost standpoint. Finally, ways to improve the algorithmic efficiency and accuracy of the simulation are introduced.

Download or read book Expression and Analysis of Recombinant Ion Channels written by Jeffrey J. Clare and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-08-21 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filling the gap created over the past five years, during which many new techniques have entered the market, this book is directed at both the new and the experienced ion channel researcher wishing to learn more about the considerations and methods for studying recombinant ion channels. These latest developments are covered here for the first time, contributed by editors and authors working for major pharmaceutical companies and who routinely apply these techniques in their daily work. The first three chapters cover the use of the Xenopus oocyte expression system for structure-function studies, from basic approaches for manipulating ion channel cDNAs to more specialized but powerful techniques. This is followed by reviews of strategies and methodologies available for expressing channels in mammalian cells and for their analysis by patch-clamp electrophysiology. Chapters 6 to 8 review the latest methodologies for ion channel drug discovery, including high throughput screening using fluorescence and luminescence, as well as automated planar array electrophysiology. The remaining two chapters focus on approaches for determining ion channel crystal structures and on computational approaches to understanding channel mechanisms at atomic resolution. Rather than provide detailed protocols, indicated by references in each chapter, the authors provide a comprehensive and easily accessible overview of the techniques involved, reviewing underlying principles and providing working guidelines as well as an understanding of the key theoretical and practical considerations associated with each topic. In each case, this practical advice is illustrated by real life examples, taken either from the author's own experience or from key examples in the literature, providing valuable practical hints not found elsewhere. The result is a compendium of practical ion channel information that will prove a valuable resource to academic and industrial workers alike.
