Abnormal Vascular Function and Hypertension in Mice Deficient in Estrogen Receptor β
Yan Zhu,Zhao Bian,Ping Lu,Richard H. Karas,Lin Bao,Daniel H. Cox,Jeffrey B. Hodgin,Philip W. Shaul,Peter Thorén,Oliver Smithies,Jan-Åke Gustafsson,Michael E. Mendelsohn +11 more
TL;DR: An essential role for ERβ in the regulation of vascular function and blood pressure is supported by show that vascular smooth muscle cells and blood vessels from estrogen receptor β (ERβ)–deficient mice exhibit multiple functional abnormalities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elimination of the BKCa Channel's High-Affinity Ca2+ Sensitivity
TL;DR: It is argued that the BKCa channel contains three types of Ca2+ binding sites, one of low affinity that is Mg2+ sensitive (as has been suggested previously) and two of higher affinity that have similar binding characteristics and contribute approximately equally to the power of Ca 2+ to influence channel opening.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping the BKCa Channel's “Ca2+ Bowl”: Side-chains Essential for Ca2+ Sensing
TL;DR: Much of the data supports the conclusion that Ca2+ binds to the BKCa channel's intracellular domain, and acidic residues, D898 and D900, are found to be essential, and they define theCa2+ bowl's essential Ca2-sensing motif.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modulation of the Conductance-Voltage Relationship of the BKCa Channel by Mutations at the Putative Flexible Interface between Two RCK Domains
Hyun-Ju Kim,Hyun-Ho Lim,Seong-Hwan Rho,Lin Bao,Ju-Ho Lee,Daniel H. Cox,Do Han Kim,Chul-Seung Park +7 more
TL;DR: Results strongly suggest that this loop plays a critical role in determining the intrinsic equilibrium constant for channel opening, and they support the hypothesis that this loops is part of an interface that mediates conformational coupling between RCK1 and RCK2.
