Happy New Year! Starting strong with our first 2025 new paper alert ✨🧪 Congratulations to Josep Martí-Solans @marti_solans, Timothy Lynagh and collaborators from @UniJena for their work on DEG/ENaC/ASIC channel activation, out now in @jbiolchem 👏

🎯 Why does this matter? DiaaNaC adds to the toolkit for exploring ion channel pharmacology. It highlights the versatility of diarylamidines and inspires new questions about ligand-gated channels. Huge thanks to @Lynagh_Lab, Aina and @Hejnol_Lab who helped make this possible! 🙏

🌟Big news from our lab! 🧪 Diarylamidines like diminazene & pentamidine do more than we thought—they activate a DEG/ENaC channel in the brachiopod Novocrania anomala. Meet DiaaNaC: the Diarylamidine-activated Na⁺ Channel! 🔗 https://t.co/8tymy1X4Je🧵

[Josep Marti Solans @marti_solans]

🔍 Typically, diarylamidines block ion channels, but DiaaNaC behaves differently. Diminazene, pentamidine, and DAPI triggered substantial Na⁺ currents instead of inhibition. Mutagenesis revealed key residues near the pore and lateral portals influencing activation.
