Potassium channels.

Abstract:

:The atomic structures of K+ channels have added a new dimension to our understanding of K+ channel function. I will briefly review how structures have influenced our views on ion conduction, gating of the pore, and voltage sensing.

  • A role for the octameric ring protein, Translin, in mitotic cell division.

    abstract::The octameric ring protein, Translin, demonstrates marked similarities to the family of helicase enzymes regarding its quaternary organization and dimerization of subunits. Here we show that the level of Translin closely parallels the proliferative state in various cell types. Expression is periodic during the cell cy...
