FMR1 activates KCNMA1. 9 / 9

reach
"Loss of FMRP reduces BK channel activity and causes excessive AP broadening (XREF_FIG), leading to elevated presynaptic Ca 2+ influx and increased glutamate release during repetitive activity in both hippocampal and cortical pyramidal neurons."

reach
"FMRP Modulates BK Channel Calcium Sensitivity."

reach
"Fmr1 and BKbeta4 double knockout mice were generated to genetically upregulate BK channel activity in the absence of FMRP."

reach
"Single-channel analyses revealed that FMRP loss reduced BK channel open probability, and this defect was compensated in dKO mice."

reach
"To examine the specific mechanisms by which FMRP modulates BK channel function, we isolated BK currents (as a paxilline or iberiotoxin sensitive component) using AP clamp."

reach
"Loss of FMRP causes reduced BK channel activity and excessive AP broadening, leading in turn to elevated presynaptic calcium influx, increased synaptic transmission and STP during repetitive activity."

reach
"Indeed, studies of both Fmr1 KO mice and stem cell-derived neurons from FXS patients report that the loss of FMRP reduces BK channel activity, which in turn leads to a wide range of functional consequences."

eidos
"We used the Horrigan-Aldrich ( HA ) allosteric model ( Horrigan and Aldrich , 2002 ) to obtain information about the molecular mechanisms of BK channel modulation by FMRP ."

reach
"These findings suggest that in wild-type animals FMRP enhances BK channel activity by sequestering beta4 subunits, thereby reducing their influence on the gating kinetics and/or trafficking of BK alpha tetramers."
