PORE MUTATION N617D IN THE SKELETAL MUSCLE DHPR BLOCKS CA2+ INFLUX DUE TO ATYPICAL HIGH-AFFINITY CA2+ BINDING

Pore mutation N617D in the skeletal muscle DHPR blocks Ca2+ influx due to atypical high-affinity Ca2+ binding

Skeletal muscle excitation-contraction (EC) coupling roots in Ca2+-influx-independent inter-channel signaling between the sarcolemmal dihydropyridine receptor Cutting Board Mats (DHPR) and the ryanodine receptor (RyR1) in the sarcoplasmic reticulum.Although DHPR Ca2+ influx is irrelevant for EC coupling, its putative role in other muscle-physiologi

New perspectives for simultaneous attraction of Chrysoperla and Chrysopa lacewing species for enhanced biological control (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae)

Abstract Green lacewings (Chrysopidae) are important predators of many soft-bodied pest insects, for instance aphids.Previous studies reported attraction of Chrysoperla carnea species-complex to a ternary floral bait.The larvae of these lacewings are important generalist predators in agroecosystems, however adults are non-predatory, they feed on po
