Abstract:

The aim of this thesis was to test the hypotheses that: i) alternative splicing may control subcellular localisation of BK channel α-subunits and ii) splice variants are differentially expressed in tissues, using the murine BK channel as the model system. To address whether alternative splice variants may be trafficked specifically to different subcellular compartments, epitope-tagged BK channel splice variants were expressed in a mammalian epithelial and endocrine cells. STREX and ZERO variants, in contrast to splice variant Δe23 that is C-terminally truncated, efficiently trafficked to the p

Abstract:

BK channels are well studied targets of acute ethanol action. They play a prominent role in neuronal excitability and have been shown to play a significant role in behavioral ethanol tolerance in invertebrates. The focus of my work centers on the effects of alcohol on the BK channel and comprises studies that examine how subcellular location affects acute ethanol sensitivity and how duration of acute alcohol exposure impacts the development of rapid tolerance. My results also provide potential mechanisms which underlie acute sensitivity and rapid tolerance. I first explore BK channel sensitivi

Abstract:

Alcoholism is responsible for more than 6% of deaths internationally per annum. The development of acute tolerance to ethanol (EtOH) is a critical component of alcoholism. Previous studies identified large conductance calcium-activated potassium (BK) channels as potential EtOH targets in a variety of species and cells. In order to elucidate mechanisms underlying tolerance development, I used inside-out patch clamp techniques to measure EtOH induced changes in channel activity (measured as open probability) of hSlo, hSlo+β1, and hSlo+β4 channels exogenously expressed in HEK 293 cells.

Abstract:

S-palmitoylation is a reversible post-translational lipid modification of proteins by adding a 16-carbon palmitate onto a cysteine residue. Palmitoylation has been shown to control the trafficking and function of many signalling proteins including ion channels. In this Thesis, palmitoylation is shown to control both the plasma membrane expression and gating properties of large conductance calcium- and voltage- dependent potassium (BK) channels. The BK channel is assembled from four pore-forming α-subunits. Each α-subunit contains seven transmembrane domains (S0-S6), with an extracellular N-ter

The purpose of this work was to determine whether the previously identified fatty acid activation of large conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BK) channels from rabbit pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells was due to the direct interaction of the fatty acid with a site on the channel protein. If this was found to be the case, this study would also attempt to identify the site of fatty acid-protein interaction.

The role of small and intermediate conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (SK and IK channels) in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurones was examined. Sixteen antibodies raised against human or rat SK/IK channel peptide epitopes were tested for their ability to stain cells expressing channel protein. Of sixteen antibodies, 12 (6 to SKI, 1 to SK2, 2 to SK3 and 3 to IK) were deemed suitable for immunohistochemistry in human or rat tissue. Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) of rat DRG cDNA was performed to examine SK/IK expression levels. DRG neurones produce mRNA for all SK/IK channels and

Abstract:

Clinically relevant concentrations of ethanol modulate the function of a number of ion channel proteins. A fundamental question regarding the effects of alcohol is whether the drug modifies ion channels by directly binding to the protein, indirectly by perturbing the surrounding membrane lipid, or some combination of both.

3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl Coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase is a 97 kDa glycoprotein located in the endoplasmic reticulum responsible for cholesterol biosynthesis in mammalian liver and intestine. HMG CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) (e.g. simvastatin, mevastatin and parvastatin) are used clinically to treat and prevent coronary artery diseases by reducing plasma LDL-cholesterol level.
