Abstract excerpt
Timothy syndrome (TS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the pore-forming subunit α11.2 of the L-type voltage-gated Ca2+-channel Cav1.2, at positions G406R or G402S. Although both mutations cause cardiac arrhythmias, only Cav1.2G406R is associated with the autism-spectrum-disorder (ASD). We show that transcriptional activation by Cav1.2G406R and Cav1.2G402S is driven by membrane...
