Structural Basis of Nav1.7 Inhibition by a Gating-Modifier Spider Toxin.

TL;DR: ProTx2 from the Peruvian green velvet tarantula is an inhibitor cystine-knot peptide and selective antagonist of the human Nav1.7 channel, providing a structural framework for activation gating in voltage-gated ion channels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Potassium channels Kv1.3 and KCa3.1 cooperatively and compensatorily regulate antigen-specific memory T cell functions

TL;DR: It is shown that Kv1.3 is involved in the development of chronically activated antigen-specific T cells and that T-cell dependency on Kv 1.3 or KCa3.1 might be irreversibly modulated by antigen exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-throughput electrophysiological assays for voltage gated ion channels using SyncroPatch 768PE.

TL;DR: SyncroPatch 768PE is utilized, one of the latest generation APC platforms which conducts parallel recording from two-384 modules with giga-seal data quality, to push the boundaries of patch clamp electrophysiology and is suggested to provide a powerful platform for ion channel research and drug discovery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanism-specific assay design facilitates the discovery of Nav1.7-selective inhibitors

TL;DR: It is shown that this assay is biased toward nonselective pore blockers and fails to detect the most potent, selective voltage-sensing domain 4 (VSD4) blockers, including PF-05089771 (PF-771) and GX-936.
