摘要: Hyperactivated DEG/ENaCs induce neuronal death through excessive cation influx and disruption of intracellular calcium homeostasis. C. elegans DEG/ENaC MEC-4 is hyperactivated by the (d) mutation induces touch neurons. The analogous substitution in MEC-10 (MEC-10(d)) co- expressed same neurons, only mildly neurotoxic. We exploited lower toxicity MEC-10(d) to identify RNAi knockdowns that enhance death. report here knockout nicalin homolog NRA-2 enhances MEC-10(d)-induced Cell biological assays neurons show controls
