Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Investigators at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev Report Findings in Ion Channels [Znt1 Induces a Crosstalk Between T-type and L-type Calcium Channels Through Interactions With Raf-1 Kinase and the Calcium Channel Beta(2) Subunit]

Article Description
ZnT1 is a major zinc transporter that regulates cellular zinc homeostasis. We have previously shown that ZnT1 has additional functions that are independent of its activity as a Zn2+ extruder. These include inhibition of the L-type calcium channel (LTCC) through interaction with the auxiliary β-subunit of the LTCC and activation of the Raf-ERK signaling leading to augmented activity of the T-type calcium channel (TTCC). Our findings indicate that ZnT1 increases TTCC activity by enhancing the trafficking of the channel to the plasma membrane. LTCC and TTCC are co-expressed in many tissues and have different functions in a variety of tissues. In the current work, we investigated the effect of the voltage-gated calcium channel (VGCC) β-subunit and ZnT1 on the crosstalk between LTCC and TTCC and their functions. Our results indicate that the β-subunit inhibits the ZnT1-induced augmentation of TTCC function. This inhibition correlates with the VGCC β-subunit-dependent reduction in ZnT1-induced activation of Ras-ERK signaling. The effect of ZnT1 is specific, as the presence of the β-subunit did not change the effect of endothelin-1 (ET-1) on TTCC surface expression. These findings document a novel regulatory function of ZnT1 serving as a mediator in the crosstalk between TTCC and LTCC. Overall, we demonstrate that ZnT1 binds and regulates the activity of the β-subunit of VGCC and Raf-1 kinase and modulates surface expression of the LTCC and TTCC catalytic subunits, consequently modulating the activity of these channels.
