Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a condition of negative intracranial pressure resulting from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage from the dural sac and is a well-known cause of orthostatic headache. Diagnosis and management can be difficu

Kappa-conotoxin PVIIA (kappa-PVIIA), a 27-amino acid peptide identified from the venom of Conus purpurascens, inhibits the Shaker K+ channel by blocking its outer pore. The toxin appears as a gating modifier because its binding affinity decreases wit

The blockage of skeletal muscle sodium channels by tetrodotoxin (TTX) and saxitoxin (STX) have been studied in CHO cells permanently expressing rat Nav1.4 channels. Tonic and use-dependent blockage were analyzed in the framework of the ion-trapped mo

Sodium currents in cell lines transfected with the sole alpha-subunit, or constitutively expressing sodium channels, have an inactivation that is always prevalently mono-exponential. Differently, expression of alpha-subunit in Xenopus oocytes exerts

CLC proteins are a nine-member gene family of Cl- channels that have diverse roles in the plasma membrane and in intracellular organelles. The recent structure determination of bacterial CLC homologues by Dutzler et al. was a breakthrough for the str

The syndrome of generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus type 1 (GEFS+) has been associated to the gene SCN1B coding for the sodium channel beta1 subunit (Wallace, R. H. et al. (1998) Nature Genetics 19, 366-370). In patients, a mutation of th

We investigated in detail the mechanism of inhibition by the S(−) enantiomer of 2-(p-chlorophenoxy)butyric acid (CPB) of the Torpedo Cl− channel, ClC-0. The substance has been previously shown to inhibit the homologous skeletal muscle channel, CL

Several observations suggest an interaction of the sodium channel alpha-subunit with the cytoskeletal structures. However, there is a wide variability in the results of experiments of heterologous expression in Xenopus oocytes and studies on mammalia

κ-conotoxin PVIIA is the first conotoxin known to interact with voltage-gated potassium channels by inhibiting Shaker-mediated currents. We studied the mechanism of inhibition and concluded that PVIIA blocks the ion pore with a 1:1 stoichiometry and

Three groups of mutations of the α subunit of the rat skeletal muscle sodium channel (rSkM1),homologous to mutations linked to human muscle hereditary diseases, have been studied byheterologous expression in frog oocytes: S798F, G1299E, G1299V, and
