Neurotoxic unc-8 mutants encode constitutively active DEG/ENaC channels that are blocked by divalent cations

Ion channels of the DEG/ENaC family can induce neurodegeneration under conditions in which they become hyperactivated. The Caenorhabditis elegans DEG/ENaC channel MEC-4(d) encodes a mutant channel with a substitution in the pore domain that causes swelling and death of the six touch neurons in which...
