Journal ArticleDOI

Prion protein attenuates excitotoxicity by inhibiting NMDA receptors.

TL;DR: It is shown that PrP-null mouse neurons exhibit enhanced and drastically prolonged N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA)–evoked currents as a result of a functional upregulation of NMDA receptors (NMDARs) containing NR2D subunits.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Cavβ subunit prevents RFP2-mediated ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of L-type channels

TL;DR: The coexpression of Cavβ interfered with ubiquitination and targeting of the channel to the ERAD complex, thereby facilitating export from the endoplasmic reticulum and promoting expression on the cell surface and Thus, Cavββ regulates the ubiquitinations and stability of the calcium channel complex.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aβ neurotoxicity depends on interactions between copper ions, prion protein, and N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors

TL;DR: A unifying molecular mechanism whereby toxic species of Aβ1–42 might mediate neuronal and synaptic injury, at least in part, by disrupting the normal copper-mediated, PrPC-dependent inhibition of excessive activity of this highly calcium-permeable glutamate receptor is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

The CACNA1F Gene Encodes an L-Type Calcium Channel with Unique Biophysical Properties and Tissue Distribution

TL;DR: Immunohistochemical analyses show that Cav1.4 is widely distributed outside the retina, including in the immune system, thus suggesting a broader role in human physiology, and the channel is ideally suited for tonic calcium influx at typical photoreceptor resting potentials.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Deubiquitinating Enzyme USP5 Modulates Neuropathic and Inflammatory Pain by Enhancing Cav3.2 Channel Activity

TL;DR: Experiments reveal a cell signaling pathway that regulates T-type channel activity and their role in nociceptive signaling and reveal the role of USP5 in both inflammatory and neuropathic mouse models of mechanical hypersensitivity.
