In 1905 K.S. Merezhkovsky suggested that the eukaryotic cell was formed as a result of symbiogenesis – the fusion of bacterial cells and cellular ancestors of mitochondria in animals or chloroplasts and mitochondria in fungi and plants. It is possible that the cell nucleus was formed from a DNA virus that was once absorbed by such a symbiotic cell.

R. Gupta suggested that the eukaryotic cell arose as a result of a symbiosis of thegram-negative bacteria belonging to the proteobacteria and the archaea. Thissymbiosis was created in an oxygen environment rich in antibiotics, secreted byother microorganisms. Partners, have entered into a symbiosis, provided that:Archaea - resistant to antibiotics,proteobacteria - tolerant to oxygen.The intracellular Archean symbionte was subsequently surrounded by a bacterialcell membrane that protected it from the effects of oxygen, which gave rise to theendoplasmic reticulum and nuclear membrane (R.S. Gupta, 2005).Gupta R.S. Molecularsequences and the early history of life // Microbial Phylogeny and Evolution / Ed. J. Sapp. Oxford Univ. Press, 2005. Р. 160–183.
It is possible that the DNA-kov virus became the basis of the cell nucleus, in which the genomes of the proteobacteria and the archaea gradually completely migrated.At the final stage, the symbiosis included mitochondria and chloroplasts.

The last eukaryotic common ancestor had a much more complex genome than the modern multicellular genome.Multicellularity was realized through the loss of unnecessary regions of the genome.In the process of combining the genomes, the ring DNA was opened and transformed into linear DNA, perhaps this caused the formation of so-called intron sections of DNA, which are virtually absent in prokaryotes and which in the early stages of symbiogenesis were needed to "match" the genomes of different organisms to each other.

General representation of the ion channels structure and function
Channel-forming protein molecules of all ion channels have some common structural features and are usually represented by large transmembrane proteins with molecular masses above 250 kD.
Consist of several subunits.
Usually the most important properties of the channels are determined by their
α-subunit.
Other subunits, which are part of the structure of ion channels, play an auxiliary role, modulating the properties of channels.
It takes part in the formation of the ion selectiveburrow, the sensory mechanism of thetransmembrane potential difference (channelgate), and has binding sites for exogenous andendogenous ligands.

is forms
Described> 100 varieties of ion channels, different approaches are used for their classification.One of them is based on taking into account differences in the structure of channels and in the mechanisms of functioning.Ionic channels can be divided into several types:passive ion channels, or quiescent channels;channels of slotted contacts;channels, the state of which

Passive Channels
can be open (active) in resting cells, i. e. in the absence of any impactsare not strictly selective,through them, the cell membrane can "leak" for several ions, for example К+ и CI–; К+ и Na+; Ca2+. Therefore, the second name of these channels is the leak channels.

Form and maintain the resting potential of thecytoplasmic cell membrane
Channels of slotted (dense) cell contacts
Channels of gap junctions are formed in the area of contact of two adjacent cells, very close (3.5 nm) adjacent to each other.
In the membrane of each contacting cell, six subunits of connexin proteins form a hexagonal structure - connexon, in the center of which a pore or ion channel is formed (the next slide).
At the contact point, a mirror structure of two connexons is formed in the membranes of both cells, and the ion channel between them becomes common.
Through such ion channels from cell to cell can travel1) various mineral ions, including Ca2+,2) low-molecular organic substances.
The channels of the slotted cell contacts provide information transfer between the cells of the myocardium, smooth muscles, the retina of the eye, and the nervous system.

Potential-dependent channels• The state of these channels is controlled by the forces of the electric field created
by the magnitude of the potential difference (∆ϕ) on the membrane.• They can be in the inactive (closed), active (open) and inactivated states, which
are controlled by the state of the activation and inactivation gate, which depends on ∆ϕ on the membrane.
• In a resting cell, the potential dependent channel is usually in a closed state, from which it can be opened or activated.
• The probability of its independent discovery is low, in a state of rest in the membrane, a small number of these channels are open.
• Depolarization of the membrane (decrease of ∆ϕ) activates the channel, increasing the probability of its opening. To open the channel, it is necessary to achieve a critical level of depolarization.
• The function of activation gates is performed by an electrically charged amino acid (lysine or arginine located in every third position on a given site of the molecule) closing the entrance to the mouth of the canal.
• Lysine and arginine, like polar amino acids, are the sensor ∆ϕ on the membrane; when the critical membrane depolarization level is reached, the charged part of the sensor molecule shifts towards the lipid microenvironment of the channeling molecule and the gate opens the entrance to the channel mouth (see the next slide).
The potential-dependent channel can be in three consecutive states:
closed;open;inactivated

The opening speed of the activation gate can bevery high
and low.For this indicator, the potential-dependent ion channels are divided intoFast (for example, fast potential-dependent Na+ channels) and slow (for example, slow potential-dependent Ca2+ channels).The speed of the activation of the channel depends on the mobility of the activation gates.The fast channels open instantly (μs) and remain open for an average of 1 ms. Their activation is accompanied by a rapid avalanche increase in the permeability of the channel for certain ions – the throughput of the open channel is striking: the ion current occurs at a speed of up to 100,000,000 ions / s.Slow channels open with fast, but the speed of the activation gate in them is much smaller, so the movement of ions through them begins later.
Activation gate – a sequence of amino acids in the form of a dense ball (coil) on the filament, located at the outlet of the mouth of the canal. When the sign of the charge changes on the membrane from (+) to (–), the ball closes the outlet from the mouth, the channel becomes impermeable (closed) to the ion, but the channel can be activated by a threshold or large stimulus.Inactivation gates are also a sequence of amino acids. Inactivation is accompanied by a cessation of movement of ions through the channel and can proceed as fast as activation, or slowly – for seconds or even minutes. All this time the channel can not be opened at any excitation power, until the closed state passes.

There are substances that block the work of potential-dependent ion channels. Thus, another state of the ion channel is possible-blocked. Such substances are called ion channel blockers.One of the first blockers was described the substance tetrodotoxin (formed in the body of fugu fish), a blocker of potential-dependent sodium channels. In the experiment, when it was introduced into the animals, loss of sensation, muscle relaxation, immobility, respiratory arrest, and death were noted.The clinic uses lidocaine, novocaine, procaine – substances, when administered to the body in small doses, a blockade of potential sodium channels of nerve fibers develops and the transmission to the central nervous system of signals from pain receptors is blocked, these are local anesthetics.
All the ion channel blockers operate in the same way - they are integrated as a plug in the channel lumen. Differences between blockers are due to their binding site to the channel molecules.
Like a cork, tetrodotoxin enters the outer vestibule of the sodium channel. In this case, each of its active group interacts with its amino acid residue
The batrachotoxin molecule sits in the channel and does not allow it to close, passing sodium ions. The arrow shows the ion current

The pore-forming part of the ion channel can be1) a single polypeptide, organized in the form of several identical transmembrane domains,2) several protein subunits, which can be either the same (homo-oligomer) or unequal (hetero-oligomer) in its structure.
Each pore-forming subunit or domain is formed by several transmembrane α-helical segments with N- and C-terminal protein domains directed intracellularly or extracellularly.
One of the transmembrane segments of the subunit of the potential-activated channels contains a unique set of positive charges and functions as a potential sensor (Armstrong, Hille, 1998, Hille, 2001).
Virtually all channels in the composition of the channel-forming subunits have regulatory domains that bind to different regulatory molecules.
The channels have the property of selectively passing ions, which is realized at the narrowest point of the channel – the selective filter.

Disruption of the ion channels often leads to diseases -canalopathies. The main cause of such violations -hereditary mutations, affecting the structure of the channel.
Examples of canalopathies:- cystic fibrosis- cardiac arrhythmias- Brugada syndrome (sodium channel of cardiomyocytes)- Syndrome Timothy (anomalies of calcium channels)- generalized epilepsy
Ion channel operation(different colors are allocated to different proteins that form domains)
the capacity of the open channel is striking:the ion current occurs at a rate of up to 100,000,000 ions / s
Ligand-dependent ion channels
Formed by protein macromolecules, simultaneously performing the function
ion channelsand selective receptors of ligands.
Therefore, they were followed by different synonymous names, for example: a synaptic receptor, a ligand-dependent channel.
Unlike potential-dependent ion channels, the opening of which is in response to a decrease in ∆ϕ, the ligand-dependent ion channels open (activated) by the interaction of the recognition site of the molecule receptor ligand protein with the ligand-substance to which the receptor recognition site has a high affinity.

Ligand-dependent ion channels are usually located in the postsynaptic membranes of nerve cells and their processes, as well as muscle fibers.
Typical examples of ligand-dependent ion channels are the channels of pre- and postsynaptic membranes, activated by acetylcholine, glutamate, aspartate, γ-aminobutyric acid, catecholamines, glycine and other synaptic neurotransmitters.
Usually the name of the channel (receptor) reflects the type of neurotransmitter, which in its natural conditions is its ligand. So, if it is the channels of the neuromuscular synapse, in which the neurotransmitter acetylcholine is used, the term "acetylcholine receptor" is used, if it is also sensitive to nicotine, then it is called a nicotine-sensitive or simply n-acetylcholine receptor (n-cholinoreceptor , N-ACH).
Ligand-dependent channels can change permeability for Na + and K + cations or for K+ and CI– anions. This selectivity of ligand binding and changes in ion permeability is genetically fixed in the spatial structure of the macromolecule.
If the interaction of the mediator and the receptor part of the macromolecule forming the ion channel directly changes the permeability of the channel, then within a few milliseconds this changes the permeability of the postsynaptic membrane for mineral ions and the magnitude of the postsynaptic potential, for example, acetylcholine and glutamate channels.Such channels are called fast and localized, for example, in the postsynaptic membrane of axo-dendritic excitatory synapses and axosomatic inhibitory synapses.
There are slow ligand-dependent ion channels.Their discovery is realized through a chain of successive events:the primary mediator (ligand, neurotransmitter) activates G-protein → it interacts with GTP → which triggers the synthesis of secondary mediators in the intracellular signaling → which phosphorylate the ion channel → this changes its permeability for mineral ions → and, as a consequence, the magnitude of the postsynaptic ∆ϕ.
This chain of events is carried out for hundreds of milliseconds.With such slow ligand-dependent ion channels, we will meet in studying the mechanisms of regulation of the heart, smooth muscles.
Connection of the ion channel to the receptorAcetylcholine excites the m2-receptor, it through the system of blast proteins leads to the opening of the K + -channel of the sinoatrial node, the entrance of K + into the cell, the hyperpolarization of its membrane and the decrease of its excitability.
A special type of ligand-dependent channels are the channels localized in membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum of the smooth muscle cell.Their ligand is a secondary mediator of intracellular signaling of inositol triphosphate signal - IF3.
Ionic channels characterized by some structural and functional properties inherent in both voltage-dependent and ligand-dependent ion channels are described. They are potential-NO-sensitive ion channels, the state of the gate mechanism of which is controlled by cyclic nucleotides (cAMP and cGMP).Cyclic nucleotides bind to the intracellular COOH terminal of the channeling protein molecule and activate the channel. These channels are less selective for cations and regulate permeability for other ions.Thus, Ca2+, through activated channels from the extracellular medium, block the permeability of the channels for Na+ .Such channels are found in the retina rods, their permeability for Ca2+ and Na+ is determined by the level of cGMP.
Ligand-dependent ion channels are widely represented in membrane structures that provide synaptic signaling from a number of sensory receptors in the CNS; transmission of signals in the synapses of the nervous system and from neurons to effector cells.
