5-HT3 receptor ion size selectivity is a property of the transmembrane channel, not the cytoplasmic vestibule portals
5-HT3A receptors select among permeant ions based on size and charge. The membrane-associated (MA) helix lines the portals into the channel’s cytoplasmic vestibule in the 4-Å re...
Mutations in M2 alter the selectivity of the mouse nicotinic acetylcholine receptor for organic and alkali metal cations.
We measured the permeability ratios (PX/PNa) of 3 wild-type, 1 hybrid, 2 subunit-deficient, and 22 mutant nicotinic receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes for alkali metal and o...
The Molecular Basis of G Protein–Coupled Receptor Activation
G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) mediate the majority of cellular responses to external stimuli. Upon activation by a ligand, the receptor binds to a partner heterotrimeric G...
A Functional Connection Between the Pores of Distantly Related Ion Channels as Revealed by Mutant K <sup>+</sup> Channels
The overall sequence similarity between the voltage-activated K + channels and cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channels from retinal and olfactory neurons suggests that they arose f...
Capsaicin activates a nonselective cation channel in cultured neonatal rat dorsal root ganglion neurons
Capsaicin (CAP), a neurotoxin, has been reported to activate a nonselective cation current in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. In this paper, we identify and describe the pro...
