KATP Channels in the Cardiovascular System.
TLDR
This review aims to summarize the properties, molecular composition, and pharmacology of KATP channels in various cardiovascular components (atria, specialized conduction system, ventricles, smooth muscle, endothelium, and mitochondria), and summarize the lessons learned from available genetic mouse models.Abstract:
KATP channels are integral to the functions of many cells and tissues. The use of electrophysiological methods has allowed for a detailed characterization of KATP channels in terms of their biophysical properties, nucleotide sensitivities, and modification by pharmacological compounds. However, even though they were first described almost 25 years ago (Noma 1983, Trube and Hescheler 1984), the physiological and pathophysiological roles of these channels, and their regulation by complex biological systems, are only now emerging for many tissues. Even in tissues where their roles have been best defined, there are still many unanswered questions. This review aims to summarize the properties, molecular composition, and pharmacology of KATP channels in various cardiovascular components (atria, specialized conduction system, ventricles, smooth muscle, endothelium, and mitochondria). We will summarize the lessons learned from available genetic mouse models and address the known roles of KATP channels in cardiovascular pathologies and how genetic variation in KATP channel genes contribute to human disease.read more

Improved patch-clamp techniques for high-resolution current recording from cells and cell-free membrane patches.
TL;DR: The extracellular patch clamp method, which first allowed the detection of single channel currents in biological membranes, has been further refined to enable higher current resolution, direct membrane patch potential control, and physical isolation of membrane patches.

Preconditioning with ischemia: a delay of lethal cell injury in ischemic myocardium.
TL;DR: The multiple anginal episodes that often precede myocardial infarction in man may delay cell death after coronary occlusion, and thereby allow for greater salvage of myocardium through reperfusion therapy, which is proposed to protect the heart from a subsequent sustained ischemic insult.

TL;DR: The architecture of the pore establishes the physical principles underlying selective K+ conduction, which promotes ion conduction by exploiting electrostatic repulsive forces to overcome attractive forces between K+ ions and the selectivity filter.

TL;DR: The vast majority of proteins that a cell secretes or displays on its surface first enter the endoplasmic reticulum, where they fold and assemble, and only properly assembled proteins advance from the ER to the cell surface.

SNAP receptors implicated in vesicle targeting and fusion

TL;DR: The existence of numerous SNARE-related proteins, each apparently specific for a single kind of vesicles or target membrane, indicates that NSF and SNAPs may be universal components of a vesicle fusion apparatus common to both constitutive and regulated fusion (including neurotransmitter release), in which the SNAREs may help to ensure vesICLE-to-target specificity.
