Disease_relevanceC. elegans mec-4 and deg-1 genes encode proteins, called degenerins, that are similar to the subunits of the human amiloride-sensitive epithelial sodium-channels; ion channel hyperactivation can result in neuronal loss in injury, ischemia/stroke and neurodegenerative disease; a dominant mutation in the mec-4 mechanosensory channel, induces neuronal necrosis through an increase in intracellular calcium and calpain activation; MEC-4(d) itself conducts calcium both when heterologously expressed in Xenopus oocytes and invivo in C . elegans touch neurons; this supports a molecular model of necrosis where calcium influx through the MEC-4 (d) channel activates calcium-induced calcium release from the ER to promote neuronal death, a mechanism that may apply to neurotoxicity associated with activation of the ASIC1a channel in mammalian ischemia.Homo sapiensPaper_evidence (2)
