AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
In this thesis, two different fluorescent labeling techniques for in vivo investigations on the 5-HT3 receptor (5-HT3R) functions are presented. This plasma membrane protein contains five subunits surrounding an ion channel that opens after binding of a 5- ...
Sequential stages in the life cycle of the ionotropic 5-HT3 receptor (5-HT3R) were resolved temporally and spatially in live cells by multicolor fluorescence confocal microscopy. The insertion of the enhanced cyan fluorescent protein into the large intrace ...
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 ...
In Drosophila, the immune deficiency (Imd) pathway controls antibacterial peptide gene expression in the fat body in response to Gram-negative bacterial infection. The ultimate target of the Imd pathway is Relish, a transactivator related to mammalian P105 ...
Cultured mouse cortical astrocytes of the stellate type were studied by using the patch-clamp technique in whole-cell configuration. The astrocytes express at least two types of outwardly rectifying K+ channels which mediate a transient and a sustained cur ...
The computational power of the neocortex arises from interactions of multiple neurons, which display a wide range of electrical properties. The gene expression profiles underlying this phenotypic diversity are unknown. To explore this relationship, we comb ...
Ligand-gated ion channels of the Cys loop family are receptors for small amine-contg. neurotransmitters. Charged amino acids are strongly conserved in the ligand-binding domain of these receptor proteins. To investigate the role of particular residues in l ...
The highly efficient Semliki Forest virus (SFV) system has been applied to express several recombinant 7TM receptors and ligand-gated ion channels. High affinity binding and functional coupling to G proteins were obtained for the receptors. The ligand-gate ...
Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS) is a suitable technique to investigate biomol. interactions. The advantage of FCS lies in its wide dynamic range in the time and concn. domain, its sensitivity, and thus in the small amt. of material needed. The ...
The invention relates to various embodiments of a bioanal. reagent with at least one vesicle, generated from a living cell, and at least one receptor for study of signal transduction. The invention further relates to methods for prodn. of said bioanal. rea ...
