Identification of PUFA interaction site on ASIC3 suggests a complex regulatory mechanism

The paper identifies a PUFA binding site on ASIC3 using MD simulations and electrophysiology, showing how DHA modulates channel gating and desensitization.

The proximal N-terminus of IRAG is required for potentiation of HCN4 channels

This study shows that the first 43 amino acids of IRAG are sufficient to potentiate HCN4 channels, requiring contributions from HCN4's N-terminus and cAMP transduction center.

Elucidating the Differential Impacts of Equivalent Gating-Charge Mutations in Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels

This study investigates how equivalent gating-charge mutations in voltage-gated sodium channels lead to different functional outcomes through structural and electrophysiological analysis.

Molecular Insights into Single Chain Lipid Modulation of Acid-Sensing Ion Channel 3

This study investigates how PUFAs modulate ASIC3 channel activity by preventing phospholipid blockage of the pore using electrophysiology and molecular dynamics simulations.
