"HCN4 channels constitutively activated by basal intracellular cAMP production in bladder may serve as an effective therapeutic target for disorders affecting detrusor contractility such as OAB without any cardiac effects."
"Intracellular cAMP positively modulates the gating of the HCN2 and HCN4 isoforms resulting in a shift of the activation curve by 15-20 mV in the positive direction."
"The mHCN2-h4 channel reproduced key features of cAMP modulation of HCN4 channels."
"Cyclic AMP (cAMP) enhances the activity of HCN2 and HCN4 isoforms by shifting the voltage dependence of activation to more depolarized potentials, whereas HCN1 and HCN3 isoforms are practically insensitive to this ligand."
"The effect of adenosine on HCN cation current I h seems to involve the activation of adenylyl cyclase and the increase in intracellular cAMP that in turn activates HCN4 containing non selective cation channels that mediate I h."
"Intracellular cAMP promotes activation of the HCN4 and HCN2 isoforms, while HCN1 and HCN3 are relatively insensitive to cAMP."
"Alternatively, since HCN4 currents are modulated by cAMP [XREF_BIBR], activators of stimulatory and inhibitory G-proteins could affect HCN4 inward currents and regulate sour taste cell activation [XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR]."
"Coassembly of PEX5R and Trip8b affects HCN channel gating in a subtype dependent and mode specific way : activation of HCN2 and HCN4 by cAMP is largely impaired, while gating by phosphoinositides and basal voltage-dependence remain unaffected."
"Whereas the cAMP sensitivity of HCN1 and HCN3 is low, HCN2 and HCN4 are strongly modulated by cAMP [XREF_BIBR]."
"Cyclic AMP (cAMP) enhances the activity of HCN2 and HCN4 isoforms by shifting the voltage dependence of activation to more depolarized potentials, whereas HCN1 and HCN3 isoforms are practically insensitive to this ligand."
"For instance, it has been shown that in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells external application of cAMP did not increase HCN4 channel activity in both whole-cell recordings and excised patches as the basal voltage dependence was already shifted to more depolarized potentials [XREF_BIBR]."
"Although HCN4 channels are activated by cAMP, the sympathetic response of the SAN was preserved in patients carrying loss-of-function mutations of the HCN4 gene."
"To address this possibility, we first confirmed that cAMP can bind to the isolated CNBD of HCN4 (as suggested by the elimination of cAMP modulation of HCN4 in HEK cells by the R669Q mutation; XREF_FIG)."
"The cAMP dependent activation of HCN4 channels appeared to enhance this protective effect, rather than expediting sympathetic response of the SAN."
"CAMP potentiates voltage dependent gating of HCN4 channels either by binding directly to a conserved cyclic nucleotide binding domain in the proximal C-terminus [XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR] or by protein kinase A (PKA)-mediated phosphorylation of the distal C-terminus [XREF_BIBR]."
"Of the four different isoforms of HCN channels found in vertebrates (HCN1-4), HCN2 and HCN4 are strongly stimulated by cAMP, in contrast to HCN1 and HCN3."
"Here, we utilize comparative S672R versus WT NMR analyses to show that the S672R mutation results in extensive perturbations of the dynamics in both apo- and holo-forms of the HCN4 isoform, reflecting how S672R remodels the free energy landscape for the modulation of HCN4 by cAMP, i.e. the primary cyclic nucleotide modulator of HCN channels."
