Genetic dissection of Ca2(+)-dependent ion channel function in Paramecium.

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology - 1 Jun 1990

Preston R R

Abstract excerpt

The ciliated protozoan, Paramecium, broadcasts the activity of its individual ion channel classes through its swimming behaviour. This fact has made it possible to isolate mutants with defective ion currents, simply by selecting individuals with abnormal swimming patterns. At least four of Paramecium's ion currents are activated by rising intracellular calcium concentration, including two K+ currents and a Na+...
