    Intracellular hemin is a potent inhibitor of the voltage-gated potassium channel Kv10.1

    Heme, an iron-protoporphyrin IX complex, is a cofactor bound to various hemoproteins and supports a broad range of functions, such as electron transfer, oxygen transport, signal transduction, and drug metaboli...

    Following replicative DNA synthesis by time-resolved X-ray crystallography

    The mechanism of DNA synthesis has been inferred from static structures, but the absence of temporal information raises longstanding questions about the order of events in one of life’s most central processes....

    Impact of intracellular hemin on N-type inactivation of voltage-gated K+ channels

    N-type inactivation of voltage-gated K+ channels is conferred by the N-terminal “ball” domains of select pore-forming α subunits or of auxiliary β subunits, and influences electrical cellular excitability. Here, ...

    Modulation of K+ channel N-type inactivation by sulfhydration through hydrogen sulfide and polysulfides

    Fast N-type inactivation of voltage-gated K+ (Kv) channels is important in fine-tuning of cellular excitability. To serve diverse cellular needs, N-type inactivation is regulated by numerous mechanisms. Here, we ...

    Different gap junction-propagated effects on cisplatin transfer result in opposite responses to cisplatin in normal cells versus tumor cells

    Previous work has shown that gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) enhances cisplatin (Pt) toxicity in testicular tumor cells but decreases it in non-tumor testicular cells. In this study, these diff...
