Derepression masquerades as activation in a pentameric ligand-gated ion channel

C. J. G. Tessier, J. R. Emlaw, R. M. Sturgeon, C. J. B. daCosta

The paper shows that agonists relieve repression of intrinsic activity in a pentameric ligand-gated ion channel, suggesting agonist activation may be a form of derepression rather than direct activation.

Ancestral acetylcholine receptor β-subunit forms homopentamers that prime before opening spontaneously

C. J. G. Tessier, R. M. Sturgeon, J. R. Emlaw, G. D. McCluskey, F. J. Perez-Areales, C. J. B. daCosta

This study shows that an ancestral acetylcholine receptor β-subunit can form homopentamers that open spontaneously, independent of the modern heteropentameric structure.
