AnkyrinG Is Required for Clustering of Voltage-gated Na Channels at Axon Initial Segments and for Normal Action Potential Firing

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ankyrinG is essential for clustering NaCh and neurofascin at axon initial segments and is required for physiological levels of sodium channel activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

AnkyrinG. A new ankyrin gene with neural-specific isoforms localized at the axonal initial segment and node of Ranvier.

TL;DR: A new ankyrin gene is characterized, expressed in brain and other tissues, that is subject to extensive tissue-specific alternative mRNA processing and has a predicted globular head domain, with membrane- and spectrin-binding activities, as well as an extended "tail" domain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nav1.5 E1053K mutation causing Brugada syndrome blocks binding to ankyrin-G and expression of Nav1.5 on the surface of cardiomyocytes

TL;DR: Results in cardiomyocytes suggest that ankyrin-G participates in a common pathway for localization of voltage-gated Na(v) channels at sites of function in multiple excitable cell types.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular composition of the node of Ranvier: identification of ankyrin-binding cell adhesion molecules neurofascin (mucin+/third FNIII domain-) and NrCAM at nodal axon segments.

TL;DR: This is the first characterization of defined neuronal cell adhesion molecules localized to axonal membranes at the node of Ranvier of myelinated axons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Induction of sodium channel clustering by oligodendrocytes

TL;DR: A crucial role is demonstrated for oligodendrocytes in inducing clustering of sodium channels along axons in vitro and in vivo and the clusters are regularly spaced at the predicted interval in the absence of glial–axonal contact.
