Tumor necrosis factor TNF can trigger increases in membrane conductance of mammalian cells in a receptor-independent manner via its lectin-like domain. A lectin-deficient TNF mutant, lacking this activity, was able to bind to artificial liposomes in a pH-d ...
The coat protein of bacteriophage Pf3 forms discrete and stable ion channels of uniform size in planar bilayers of asolectin. Its primary sequence suggests a channel formed by a bundle of transmembrane helixes. Since the apparent transmembrane region only ...
A method is presented to form gold-electrode-tethered lipid bilayers with exceptionally high elec. resistances. Elec. impedance spectroscopy is used to monitor the bilayer incorporation of a ligand-gated ion channel protein and the modulation of its channe ...
A recent study on malaria-infected human red blood cells (RBCs) has shown induced ion channel activity in the host cell membrane, but the questions of whether they are host- or parasite-derived and their molecular nature have not been resolved. Here we rep ...
Electrical-transport properties of mesoscopic junctions consisting of a ballistic two-dimensional electron gas coupled at two sides to overlaying superconducting contacts are presented, The properties suggest that, despite the presence of transport limitin ...
In this work the authors have shown that stable gigaohm seals over micrometer-sized holes can be obtained in a time-frame of seconds by the electrophoretic self-positioning of charged lipid membranes. For the first time, single-channel events were recorded ...
Gating of an artificial receptor was monitored for the first time by impedance spectroscopy in tethered lipid bilayer. Subnanomolar concns. of antibody were detected by modulation of the channel activity. The principle of gating by an antibody is particula ...
Two channels were observed in extracts of whole Mycobacterium bovis BCG cells using organic solvents and detergents. The channels derived from organic solvent treatment had a single-channel conductance of about 4.0 nS in 1 M KCl in lipid bilayer membranes ...
A symposium report. The total synthesis of melittin-TASP, T4-(4a26) (TASP = template assembled synthetic proteins) is described together with its structural and ion-channel forming properties in planar lipid bilayers. A voltage-dependent channel activity i ...
Aerolysin secreted by the human pathogen Aeromonas hydrophila belongs to a group of bacterial toxins that are hemolytic and form channels in biological membranes. The toxin is secreted as an inactive precursor proaerolysin that must be proteolytically proc ...
