Abstract

Intracellular calcium (Ca 2+ ) inhibits the opening of L-type (α 1C ) Ca 2+ channels, providing physiological control of Ca 2+ entry into a wide variety of cells. A structural determinant of this Ca 2+ -sensitive inactivation was revealed by chimeric Ca 2+ channels derived from parental α 1C and α 1E channels, the latter of which is a neuronal channel lacking Ca 2+ inactivation. A consensus Ca 2+ -binding motif (an EF hand), located on the α 1C subunit, was required for Ca 2+ inactivation. Donation of the α 1C EF-hand region to the α 1E channel conferred the Ca 2+ -inactivating phenotype. These results strongly suggest that Ca 2+ binding to the α 1C subunit initiates Ca 2+ inactivation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
