Abstract excerpt
Autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (ADNFLE) is linked with high penetrance to several distinct nicotinic receptor (nAChR) mutations. We studied (alpha4)(3)(beta2)(2) versus (alpha4)(2)(beta2)(3) subunit stoichiometry for five channel-lining M2 domain mutations: S247F, S252L, 776ins3 in alpha4, V287L, and V287M in beta2. alpha4 and beta2 subunits were constructed with all possible combinations of...
