Descriptions

Hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) ion channels contribute to electrical activity in neurons and cardiomyocytes. HCN1-4 share a similar multidomain organization with an N-terminal transmembrane region, a C-terminal intracellular region (IR) and a cyclic nucleotide-binding domain (CBD). Channel opening is primarily stimulated by transmembrane elements that sense membrane hyperpolarization. In the absence of cAMP, the CBD shows steric clashes with the C-linker within IR, which become energetically unfavored. The steric clashes are eliminated by cAMP binding, which selects for a CBD state devoid of steric clashes with the tetrameric C-linker and facilitates channel opening.

15 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
apical dendrite A dendrite that emerges near the apical pole of a neuron. In bipolar neurons, apical dendrites are located on the opposite side of the soma from the axon.
axon The long process of a neuron that conducts nerve impulses, usually away from the cell body to the terminals and varicosities, which are sites of storage and release of neurotransmitter.
axon terminus Terminal inflated portion of the axon, containing the specialized apparatus necessary to release neurotransmitters. The axon terminus is considered to be the whole region of thickening and the terminal button is a specialized region of it.
basolateral plasma membrane The region of the plasma membrane that includes the basal end and sides of the cell. Often used in reference to animal polarized epithelial membranes, where the basal membrane is the part attached to the extracellular matrix, or in plant cells, where the basal membrane is defined with respect to the zygotic axis.
cell surface The external part of the cell wall and/or plasma membrane.
dendrite A neuron projection that has a short, tapering, morphology. Dendrites receive and integrate signals from other neurons or from sensory stimuli, and conduct nerve impulses towards the axon or the cell body. In most neurons, the impulse is conveyed from dendrites to axon via the cell body, but in some types of unipolar neuron, the impulse does not travel via the cell body.
dendrite membrane The portion of the plasma membrane surrounding a dendrite.
dendritic shaft Cylindric portion of the dendrite, directly stemming from the perikaryon, and carrying the dendritic spines.
glutamatergic synapse A synapse that uses glutamate as a neurotransmitter.
HCN channel complex A cation ion channel with a preference for K+ over Na+ ions, which is activated by membrane hyperpolarization, and consists of a tetramer of HCN family members. Some members of this family (HCN1, HCN2 and HCN4) are also activated when cAMP binds to their cyclic nucleotide binding domain (CNBD). Channel complexes of this family play an important role in the control of pacemaker activity in the heart.
neuronal cell body The portion of a neuron that includes the nucleus, but excludes cell projections such as axons and dendrites.
plasma membrane The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins.
postsynaptic membrane A specialized area of membrane facing the presynaptic membrane on the tip of the nerve ending and separated from it by a minute cleft (the synaptic cleft). Neurotransmitters cross the synaptic cleft and transmit the signal to the postsynaptic membrane.
presynaptic active zone membrane The membrane portion of the presynaptic active zone; it is the site where docking and fusion of synaptic vesicles occurs for the release of neurotransmitters.
somatodendritic compartment The region of a neuron that includes the cell body (cell soma) and dendrite(s), but excludes the axon.

cAMP binding Binding to cAMP, the nucleotide cyclic AMP (adenosine 3',5'-cyclophosphate).
identical protein binding Binding to an identical protein or proteins.
intracellular cAMP-activated cation channel activity involved in regulation of presynaptic membrane potential Enables the transmembrane transfer of a cation by a channel that opens when intracellular cAMP has been bound by the channel complex or one of its constituent parts, to regulate the presynaptic membrane potential.

phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate binding Binding to phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate, a derivative of phosphatidylinositol in which the inositol ring is phosphorylated at the 3', 4' and 5' positions.
