Godfrey Smith and I have written a commentary on this paper. Fascinating interactions between Mn2 and Ca2 with implications for Ca2 handling. rupress.org/jgp/article/158/…
Jaque-Fernandez et al. @UnivLyon1 show that depolarization of #zebrafish #SkeletalMuscle fibers evokes a Mn²⁺ quenching signal that does not result from store-operated Ca²⁺ entry but from a displacement of Mn²⁺ accumulated on intracellular Ca²⁺ buffers hubs.la/Q03SCYSR0

Yu Zhou, @LingleChris et al. ask whether distinct β subunit isoforms coassemble in BK channel complexes or segregate into different complexes. They show that ternary β2:β3:α complexes form, consistent with a trinomial model of random mixing of β subunits. hubs.la/Q03VRCT-0
