Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition)
In 2008 we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy. Since then, research on this topic has continued to accelerate, and many new scientists have entered the… Expand

Determinants of the G protein-dependent opioid modulation of neuronal calcium channels.
The modulation of a family of cloned neuronal calcium channels by stimulation of a coexpressed mu opioid receptor was studied by transient expression in Xenopus oocytes. Activation of the morphine… Expand

Localization and functional properties of a rat brain alpha 1A calcium channel reflect similarities to neuronal Q- and P-type channels.
Functional expression of the rat brain alpha 1A Ca channel was obtained by nuclear injection of an expression plasmid into Xenopus oocytes. The alpha 1A Ca current activated quickly, inactivated… Expand

Structure and functional expression of a member of the low voltage-activated calcium channel family.
Oscillatory firing patterns are an intrinsic property of some neurons and have an important function in information processing. In some cells, low voltage-activated calcium channels have been… Expand

Splicing of α1A subunit gene generates phenotypic variants of P- and Q-type calcium channels
P-type and Q-type calcium channels mediate neurotransmitter release at many synapses in the mammalian nervous system. The α1A calcium channel has been implicated in the etiologies of conditions such… Expand

Systematic Identification of Splice Variants in Human P/Q-Type Channel α12.1 Subunits: Implications for Current Density and Ca2+-Dependent Inactivation
P/Q-type (Cav2.1) calcium channels support a host of Ca2+-driven neuronal functions in the mammalian brain. Alternative splicing of the main α1A(α12.1) subunit of these channels may thereby represent… Expand

Essential Ca2+-Binding Motif for Ca2+-Sensitive Inactivation of L-Type Ca2+ Channels
Intracellular calcium (Ca2+) inhibits the opening of L-type (α1C) Ca2+ channels, providing physiological control of Ca2+ entry into a wide variety of cells. A structural determinant of this… Expand

Mutations in Potassium Channel Kir2.6 Cause Susceptibility to Thyrotoxic Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis
Thyrotoxic hypokalemic periodic paralysis (TPP) is characterized by acute attacks of weakness, hypokalemia, and thyrotoxicosis of various etiologies. These transient attacks resemble those of… Expand

Structure and Inhibition of the SARS Coronavirus Envelope Protein Ion Channel
The envelope (E) protein from coronaviruses is a small polypeptide that contains at least one α-helical transmembrane domain. Absence, or inactivation, of E protein results in attenuated viruses, due… Expand
