Examination of intramolecular interactions between residues of the cys-loop GABA receptor Hco-UNC-49 from Haemonchus contortus
… parasitic nematode γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) gated chloride channel that may prove to be a novel drug target. The objective of this thesis was to characterize intramolecular interactions of Hco-UNC-49B. Two sets of oppositely charged residues were chosen based on their proximity to each other …

Molecular characterization of GABA receptor subunits from the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus
… by several nematocides which target ion channels. We have identified two H. contortus ion channel genes, Hcounc- 49B and C that encode two GABA-gated chloride channel subunits. Electrophysiological analysis shows that the Hco-UNC-49B subunit forms a functional homomeric channel in Xenopus …

Investigation into the role of binding loop E on the function of the nematode cys-loop GABA receptor.
… of them. Therefore, novel drug targets such as ligand-gated chloride channels (LGCCs) need to be characterized. The objective of this thesis was to further characterize the agonist binding pocket in Hco-UNC-49BC, the LGCC gated by γ- aminobutyric acid (GABA) within H. contortus. To meet this …
