    The dual role of chloride in synaptic vesicle glutamate transport

    Roger Chang, Jacob Eriksen, Robert H Edwards
    Whole endosome recording shows that chloride interacts with vesicular glutamate transporters as both allosteric activator and permeant ion, and although the mode of permeation differs, chloride and glutamate use a related conduction pathway.

    The cation channel mechanisms of subthreshold inward depolarizing currents in the mice VTA dopaminergic neurons and their roles in the chronic-stress-induced depression-like behavior

    Jing Wang, Min Su ... Hailin Zhang
    NALCN and TRPC6 drive the subthreshold depolarization of VTA DA neurons and down regulation of TRPC6 contributes to reduced VTA DA neuron firing and chronic stress-induced depression-like behavior of mice.

    Agonist-specific voltage-dependent gating of lysosomal two-pore Na+ channels

    Xiaoli Zhang, Wei Chen ... Haoxing Xu
    Tricyclic antidepressants activate lysosomal two-pore Na+ channels in a voltage-dependent manner.

    Proton currents constrain structural models of voltage sensor activation

    Aaron L Randolph, Younes Mokrab ... Ian Scott Ramsey
    Electrophysiological and computational techniques provide a structural basis for understanding the conformational changes that are required to activate Hv1 proton channels.

    Synaptic transmission and plasticity require AMPA receptor anchoring via its N-terminal domain

    Jake F Watson, Hinze Ho, Ingo H Greger
    The positioning of AMPA-type glutamate receptors at synapses – a requirement for effective neurotransmission and synaptic plasticity – is orchestrated by their extracellular, N-terminal domain.

    An external sodium ion binding site controls allosteric gating in TRPV1 channels

    Andres Jara-Oseguera, Chanhyung Bae, Kenton J Swartz
    Allosteric gating in a transient receptor potential channel is modulated by external sodium ions and a tarantula toxin.

    Divergent Cl- and H+ pathways underlie transport coupling and gating in CLC exchangers and channels

    Lilia Leisle, Yanyan Xu ... Simon Bernèche
    Combined simulations and electrophysiological experiments show that the CLC channels and exchangers form physically distinct and evolutionarily conserved pathways through which Cl- and H+ ions move when crossing biological membranes.

    Dynamic change of electrostatic field in TMEM16F permeation pathway shifts its ion selectivity

    Wenlei Ye, Tina W Han ... Lily Yeh Jan
    TMEM16F shifts its ion selectivity in response to change of intracellular Ca2+, membrane potential and ionic strength.

    Identification of TMEM206 proteins as pore of PAORAC/ASOR acid-sensitive chloride channels

    Florian Ullrich, Sandy Blin ... Thomas J Jentsch
    TMEM206 proteins are identified as constituting the pore of the widely expressed acid-activated chloride channel PAORAC/ASOR, which is important in acid toxicity.

    Plasticity of calcium-permeable AMPA glutamate receptors in Pro-opiomelanocortin neurons

    Shigetomo Suyama, Alexandra Ralevski ... Tamas L Horvath
    Neurons in the hypothalamus that promote satiety manifest plasticity of their response to the excitatory transmitter, glutamate, by re-organizing the composition of a specific glutamare receptor.
