Ivermectin binding sites in human and invertebrate Cys-loop receptors.

TL;DR: An understanding of the molecular structure of the ivermectin binding site, which is formed at the interface of two adjacent subunits in the transmembrane domain of the receptor, should aid the development of new lead compounds both as anthelmintics and as therapies for a wide variety of human neurological disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

An Improved Ivermectin-activated Chloride Channel Receptor for Inhibiting Electrical Activity in Defined Neuronal Populations

TL;DR: The development of a modified human α1 glycine receptor as an improved ivermectin-gated silencing receptor is described, the crucial development was the identification of a mutation, A288G, which increased iverMectin sensitivity almost 100-fold, rendering it similar to that of GluClR.
Journal ArticleDOI

A selectivity filter at the intracellular end of the acid-sensing ion channel pore.

TL;DR: The basis for ion selectivity in ASICs is explored by incorporating unnatural amino acids into the channel, engineering channel stoichiometry and performing free energy simulations, which identified a band of glutamate and aspartate side chains at the lower end of the pore that enables preferential sodium conduction.
