"Blockage of the BK channel increased the Ca 2+ current density on the soft substrate and consequently eliminated substrate stiffness regulation of the Ca 2+ channel."

"This extremely high positive correlation, together with previous data establishing that LCA-induced dilation of MCA is due to LCA activation of smooth muscle BK channels [ xref ], strongly suggest that the larger LCA-induced BK channel activation in myocytes of BA or CA vs . that of ACA, MCA, PCA or MA, is an important contributor to the larger LCA-induced dilation of the former group of arteries vs . the latter."

reach
"This is consistent with previous reports that the vasoconstrictor response to 20-HETE is associated with increased TRPC6 and decreased BK channel activities that depolarize the membrane and promote calcium entry through voltage sensitive calcium channels."

reach
"We observed that the average intensity of G-CaMP increased over time during GAS infection in an SLO-dependent manner, with the average G-CaMP intensity at 4 h comparable with that in A23187-treated cells (Supplementary Fig. 5a, b) and indicating GAS internalization into the cytosol and/or endosomal membrane damage via SLO-induced cytosolic Ca mobilization."

reach
"In addition, disruption of the BK Ca gene KCNMA1 which encodes the alpha-subunit of the large conductance Ca 2+ -activated K + channel (BK Ca) led to both haplo-insufficiency and reduced BK Ca activity."

"Expression of hslo mRNA in Xenopus oocytes produces robust voltage and Ca (2+)-activated K+ currents."

"Further, our recent findings suggest a decrease in the frequency of Ca 2+ sparks and associated BK channel activity may contribute to enhanced cerebral artery constriction and elevated global cytosolic Ca 2+ (XREF_FIG)."

"Total alpha-cell Ca 2+ c was similarly reduced (28.3 +/-11.1%) following prolonged treatment with high glucose, but not decreased further by SK or BK channel inhibition."

reach
"Here, we elucidated the mechanism of Ca 2+ -dependent gating in MthK, a prokaryotic BK channel homologue with a conserved Ca 2+ -dependent gating ring but devoid of voltage sensing domains 5, thus allowing unhampered study of the Ca 2+ -dependent gate."

reach
"Indeed, in our previous study we showed the BK channel activation by stretch induced Ca 2+ entry via mechanosensitive ion channels whereas no activity of BK currents was observed in physiological range of membrane potentials in the absence of mechanical stimuli 5."

"If the sensitivity to SLO of the cell type used is unknown, it is important to perform SLO dose response assays using PI as an indicator of cell permeability, to find the optimum SLO concentration that triggers robust calcium dependent lysosomal secretion."

"XREF_BIBR investigated the mechanism of NS11021 modulation of BK channels by first recording BK channel currents at various voltages (-240-120 mV), Ca 2+ concentrations (0-100 microM, which saturates Ca 2+ binding), and NS11021 concentrations (0-30 microM)."

reach
"To investigate the involvement of these Ca dependent kinases in the increase in CREB phosphorylation seen after BK channel inhibition, STO-609, which selectively inhibits Ca and calmodulin-dependent kinase kinase 2 (CaMKK2) which is upstream of CaMKIV [32] and the CaMKII peptide inhibitor, tatCN21 [29], were added to our system.As previously demonstrated in whole cells, BK channel inhibition with paxilline increased CREB phosphorylation sevenfold (**p = 0.0023)."

"beta1 was shown to facilitate the gating of BK channels by acting through the Ca 2+ but not the Mg 2+ activating mechanism XREF_BIBR, and the Slo1 tail domains, but not the Ca 2+ bowl were required for beta1 to increase the apparent Ca 2+ sensitivity XREF_BIBR."

reach
"Although apamin transiently increased Ca 2+ influx into alpha-cells at low glucose (42.9 +/-10.6%), sustained SK (38.5 +/-10.4%) or BK channel inhibition (31.0 +/-11.7%) decreased alpha-cell Ca 2+ influx."

reach
"SLO induces diverse types of Ca (2+) signalling in host cells which play a key role in membrane repair and cell fate determination."

reach
"In fact, it has been previously observed that the functional disruption of the calcium bowl does not disrupt BK channel regulation produced by Cd 2+, leading to the suggestion that the BK channel may contain additional Ca 2+ regulatory sites."

reach
"In this assay, BK channel activity is driven by ionomycin induced calcium influx and is reported by movement of a fluorescent voltage sensitive dye across the cell membrane in response to changes in cell membrane potential."

"Here, we showed that inhibition of the BK channel abolished substrate stiffness regulation of the cardiac L-type Ca 2+ channel, supporting the idea that the BK channel plays a critical role in substra[MISSING/INVALID CREDENTIALS: limited to 200 char for Elsevier]"

"The identification of Slo1 gene KCNMA1 and the availability of cDNA of Slo1 for functional expression of BK channels in exogenous cells (Atkinson et al., 1991; Adelman et al., 1992; Butler et al., 1993) allowed the studies to distinguish the distinct Ca and voltage dependent activation mechanisms (Cui et al., 1997)."

"However, as described by Usmani et al. (101) , the interaction of SLO with the cells could increase the concentration of free Ca 2+ through IP3-mediated depletion of intracellular stores and activation of store-operated Ca 2+ (SOC) entry dependent on the STIM1-Orai1 cross-talk."
