Redox regulation of Kv7 channels through EF3 hand of calmodulin

E. Nunez, F. Jones, A. Muguruza-Montero, J. Urrutia, A. Aguado, C. Malo, C. Domene, G. Bernardo-Seisdedos, O. Millet, N. Gamper, A. Villarroel

This study shows that EF3 hand of calmodulin mediates redox regulation of Kv7 channels by translating Ca2+ signals and reversing FRET signals in response to oxidation.

Molecular dynamics simulations of the calmodulin-induced alpha-helix in the SK2 calcium-gated potassium ion channel

R. Ramis, O. R. Ballesteros, A. Muguruza-Montero, S. M-Alicante, E. Nunez, A. Villarroel, A. Leonardo, A. Bergara

This study uses molecular dynamics simulations to investigate how calmodulin induces a full alpha-helix in the SK2 channel's CaMBD, revealing hydrophobic interactions and the stabilizing role of a pre-folded helix.

AN EPILEPSY-CAUSING MUTATION LEADS TO CO-TRANSLATIONAL MISFOLDING

J. Urrutia, A. Aguado, C. Gomis-Perez, A. Muguruza-Montero, O. R. Ballesteros, J. Zhang, E. Nunez, C. Malo, H. J. Chung, A. Leonardo, A. Bergara, A. Villarroel

The paper shows that the W344R mutation in Kv7.2 channels causes co-translational misfolding, impairing CaM binding and leading to non-functional ion channels.
