How can you use “siah” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
However, Siah1a had no detectable effect on mGluR2-mediated calcium current inhibition, consistent with reports demonstrating that Siah1a does not bind to group II mGluRs [ 36 ] . Cells expressing mGluR2 alone exhibited 57 ± 5% inhibition of calcium current in response to glutamate (n = 6), while those coexpressing Siah1a were inhibited 61 ± 2% (n = 6; figure 2).
These results indicate that the presence of high levels of CaM can reverse the effect of Siah1a on calcium current modulation, presumably by competing for binding on the C-terminal tail of the receptor.
If the results presented here can be exprapolated to physiological situations that involve group I mGluRs, Siah1a expression in the mammalian nervous system could potentially play a role in cell excitability by influencing mGluR-mediated potassium current modulation (of M-type currents and perhaps of GIRK currents), and synaptic plasticity due to the role that group I mGluRs play in these processes [ 2 5 38 ] .
In contrast to that in cells expressing mGluR5b alone, calcium current inhibition by glutamate in cells coexpressing mGluR5b and Siah1a was quite small (figure 1C).
Alternatively, the presence of Siah1a itself may occlude G protein coupling, with the CaM interaction being incidental.
