cDNA encoding the full-length hKv1.3 lymphocyte channel and a C-terminal truncated (Δ459-523) form that lacks the putative PKA Ser468 phosphorylation site were stably transfected in human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells. Immunostaining of the transfected cells revealed a distribution at the plasma membrane that was uniform in the case of the full-length channel whereas clustering was observed in the case of the truncated channel. Some staining within the cell cytoplasm was found in both instances, suggesting an active process of biosynthesis. Analyses of the K+ current by the patch-clamp technique in the whole cell configuration showed that depolarizing steps to 40 mV from a holding potential (HP) of −80 mV elicited an outward current of 2 to 10 nA. The current threshold was positive to −40 mV and the current amplitude increased in a voltage-dependent manner. The parameters of activation were −5.7 and −9.9 mV (slope factor) and −35 mV (half activation, V 0.5) in the case of the full-length and truncated channels, respectively. The characteristics of the inactivation were 14.2 and 24.6 mV (slope factor) and −17.3 and −39.0 mV (V 0.5) for the full-length and truncated channels, respectively. The activation time constant of the full-length channel for potentials ranging from −30 to 40 mV decreased from 18 to 12 msec whereas the inactivation time constant decreased from 6600 msec at −30 mV to 1800 msec at 40 mV. The unit current amplitude measured in cells bathing in 140 mm KCl was 1.3 ± 0.1 pA at 40 mV, the unit conductance, 34.5 pS and the zero current voltage, 0 mV. Both forms of the channels were inhibited by TEA, 4-AP, Ni2+ and charybdotoxin. In contrast to the native (Jurkat) lymphocyte Kv1.3 channel that is fully inhibited by PKA and PKC, the addition of TPA resulted in 34.6 ± 7.3% and 38.7 ± 9.4% inhibition of the full-length and the truncated channels, respectively. 8-BrcAMP induced a 39.4 ± 5.4% inhibition of the full-length channel but had no effect (8.6 ± 8.3%) on the truncated channel. Cell dialysis with alkaline phosphatase had no effects, suggesting that the decreased sensitivity of the transfected channels to PKA and PKC was not due to an already phosphorylated channel. Patch extract experiments suggested that the hKv1.3 channel was partially sensitive to PKA and PKC. Cotransfecting the Kvβ1.2 subunit resulted in a decrease in the value of the time constant of inactivation of the full-length channel but did not modify its sensitivity to PKA and PKC. The cotransfected Kvβ2 subunit had no effects. Our results indicate that the hKv1.3 lymphocyte channel retains its electrophysiological characteristics when transfected in the Kvβ-negative HEK 293 cell line but its sensitivity to modulation by PKA and PKC is significantly reduced.

A new type of nonselective cation channel was identified and characterized in pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells using inside-out and cell-attached patch-clamp recordings. The channel shows a large unitary conductance (274 pS in symmetric 145 mm K+) and selectivity for Na+≈ K+ > Li+, and is practically impermeable to Cl. The channel activity-voltage relationship is bell-shaped, showing maximal activation at ≈−10 mV. The overall activity of this channel is unmodified by [Na+] ic , or [Ca++] ic . However, increases in [Ca++] ic lead to a decrease in the unitary current amplitude. In addition, overall activity is mildly increased when suction is applied to the back of the patch pipette. Together, these characteristics distinguish the present channel from all other large conductance nonselective cation channels reported so far in a variety of preparations. The frequency of appearance of this channel type is similar in undifferentiated and NGF-treated PC12 cells (≈8–27% of patches). The combination of large conductance, permeability to Na+, and existence of conducting states at negative potentials, may provide a significant pathway for inward current and depolarization in PC12 cells.

Ionic channels of the sugar beet tonoplast were studied using the patch-clamp technique. At micromolar concentrations of cytosolic calcium, several (at least four) distinct single-channel current levels were routinely identified. On the basis of channel voltage dependence, kinetic properties and conductance of single openings, the largest channel (103 ± 2 pS in symmetric 150 mm KCl) corresponds to the slow vacuolar (SV) channel already identified by Hedrich and Neher (1987). The majority of the whole-vacuole current was ascribed to this time-dependent slow-activating channel elicited by positive vacuolar potentials. The channel of intermediate amplitude (41 ± 1 pS in 150 mm KCl) did not show any voltage dependence and delay in the activation upon the application of voltage steps to both positive and negative transmembrane potentials. Owing to its voltage independence this channel was denominated FV1. The opening probability of the SV-type channel increased by increasing the cytoplasmic calcium concentration, while the activity of the FV1 channel did not increase appreciably by changing the calcium concentration in the range from 6 μm to 1 mm. All the channels identified showed a linear current-voltage characteristic in the range ±100 mV and at least the three most conductive ones displayed potassium selectivity properties. Substitution of potassium with tetramethylammonium (TMA) on the cytosolic side demonstrated that both the SV and FV1 channels are impermeable to TMA influx into the vacuole and support the potassium selectivity properties of these two channels. Moreover, the single channel conductances of all the channels identified increased as a function of the potassium concentration and reached a maximum conductivity at [K+] ∼0.5 m. This behavior can be explained by a multi-ion occupancy single-file permeation mechanism. Received: 26 December 1995/Revised: 10 July 1996  相似文献

Smooth muscle cells isolated from the secondary and tertiary branches of the rabbit mesenteric artery contain large Ca2+-dependent channels. In excised patches with symmetrical (140 mm) K+ solutions, these channels had an average slope conductance of 235 ± 3 pS, and reversed in direction at −6.1 ± 0.4 mV. The channel showed K+ selectivity and its open probability (P o ) was voltage-dependent. Iberiotoxin (50 nm) reversibly decreased P o , whereas tetraethylammonium (TEA, at 1 mm) reduced the unitary current amplitude. Apamin (200 nm) had no effect. The channel displayed sublevels around 1/3 and 1/2 of the mainstate level. The effect of [Ca2+] on P o was studied and data fitted to Boltzmann relationships. In 0.1, 0.3, 1.0 and 10 μm Ca2+, V 1/2 was 77.1 ± 5.3 (n= 18), 71.2 ± 4.8 (n= 16), 47.3 ± 10.1 (n= 11) and −14.9 ± 10.1 mV (n= 6), respectively. Values of k obtained in 1 and 10 μm [Ca2+] were significantly larger than that observed in 0.1 μm [Ca2+]. With 30 μm NS 1619 (a BKCa channel activator), V 1/2 values were shifted by 39 mV to the left (hyperpolarizing direction) and k values were not affected. TEA applied intracellularly, reduced the unitary current amplitude with a K d of 59 mm. In summary, BKCa channels show a particularly weak sensitivity to intracellular TEA and they also display large variation in V 1/2 and k. These findings suggest the possibility that different types (isoforms) of BKCa channels may exist in this vascular tissue. Received: 22 December 1997/Revised: 27 March 1998  相似文献

A detailed temperature dependence study of a well-defined plant ion channel, the Ca2+-activated K+ channel of Chara corallina, was performed over the temperature range of their habitats, 5–36°C, at 1°C resolution. The temperature dependence of the channel unitary conductance at 50 mV shows discontinuities at 15 and 30°C. These temperatures limit the range within which ion diffusion is characterized by the lowest activation energy (E a = 8.0 ± 1.6 kJ/mol) as compared to the regions below 15°C and above 30°C. Upon reversing membrane voltage polarity from 50 to −50 mV the pattern of temperature dependence switched from discontinuous to linear with E a = 13.6 ± 0.5 kJ/mol. The temperature dependence of the effective number of open channels at 50 mV showed a decrease with increasing temperature, with a local minimum at 28°C. The mean open time exhibited a similar behavior. Changing the sign of membrane potential from 50 to −50 mV abolished the minima in both temperature dependencies. These data are discussed in the light of higher order phase transitions of the Characean membrane lipids and corresponding change in the lipid-protein interaction, and their modulation by transmembrane voltage.

Patch clamp experiments were performed on two human osteosarcoma cell lines (MG-63 and SaOS-2 cells) that show an osteoblasticlike phenotype to identify and characterize the specific K channels present in these cells. In case of MG-63 cells, in the cell-attached patch configuration (CAP) no channel activity was observed in 2 mm Ca Ringer (control condition) at resting potential. In contrast, a maxi-K channel was observed in previously silent CAP upon addition of 50 nm parathyroid hormone (PTH), 5 nm prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) or 0.1 mm dibutyryl cAMP + 1 μm forskolin to the bath solution. However, maxi-K channels were present in excised patches from both stimulated and nonstimulated cells in 50% of total patches tested. A similar K channel was also observed in SaOS-2 cells. Characterization of this maxi-K channel showed that in symmetrical solutions (140 mm K) the channel has a conductance of 246 ± 4.5 pS (n = 7 patches) and, when Na was added to the bath solution, the permeability ratio (PK/PNa) was 10 and 11 for MG-63 and SaOS-2 cells respectively. In excised patches from MG-63 cells, the channel open probability (P o ) is both voltage- (channel opening with depolarization) and Ca-dependent; the presence of Ca shifts the P o vs. voltage curve toward negative membrane potential. Direct modulation of this maxi-K channel via protein kinase A (PKA) is very unlikely since in excised patches the activity of this channel is not sensitive to the addition of 1 mm ATP + 20 U/ml catalytic subunit of PKA. We next evaluated the possibility that PGE2 or PTH stimulated the channel through a rise in intracellular calcium. First, calcium uptake (45Ca++) by MG-63 cells was stimulated in the presence of PTH and PGE2, an effect inhibited by Nitrendipine (10 μm). Second, whereas PGE2 stimulated the calcium-activated maxi-K channel in 2 mm Ca Ringer in 60% of patches studied, in Ca-free Ringer bath solution, PGE2 did not open any channels (n = 10 patches) nor did cAMP + forskolin (n = 3 patches), although K channels were present under the patch upon excision. In addition, in the presence of 2 mm Ca Ringer and 10 μm Nitrendipine in CAP configuration, PGE2 (n = 5 patches) and cAMP + forskolin (n = 2 patches) failed to open K channels present under the patch. As channel activation by phosphorylation with the catalytic subunit of PKA was not observed, and Nitrendipine addition to the bath or the absence of calcium prevented the opening of this channel, it is concluded that activation of this channel by PTH, PGE2 or dibutyryl cAMP + forskolin is due to an increase in intracellular calcium concentration via Ca influx.

We observed intermediate conductance channels in approximately 20% of successful patch-clamp seals made on collecting tubules dissected from Ambystoma adapted to 50 mm potassium. These channels were rarely observed in collecting tubules taken from animals which were maintained in tap water. Potassium-adaptation either leads to an increase in the number of channels present or activates quiescent channels. In cell-attached patches the conductance averaged 30.3 ± 2.4 (9) pS. Since replacement of the chloride in the patch pipette with gluconate did not change the conductance, the channel carries cations, not anions. Notably, channel activity was observed at both positive and negative pipette voltages. When the pipette was voltage clamped at 0 mV or positive voltages, the current was directed inward, consistent with the movement of sodium into the cell. The pipette voltage at which the polarity of the current reversed (movement of potassium into the pipette) was −29.6 ± 6.5(9) mV. Open probability at 0 mV pipette voltage was 0.08 ± 0.03 and was unaffected when the apical membrane was exposed to either 2 × 10−6 or 2 × 10−5 m of amiloride. Exposure of the basolateral surface of the tubule to a saline containing 15 mm potassium caused a significant increase (P less than 0.001) in the open probability of these channels to 0.139 ± 0.002 without affecting the conductance of the apical channel. These data illustrate the presence of an intermediate conductance, poorly selective, amiloride-insensitive cation channel in native vertebrate collecting tubule. We postulate that, at least in amphibia, this channel may be used to secrete potassium. Received: 14 January 2000/Revised: 16 June 2000  相似文献

The giant marine alga Valonia utricularis is a classical model system for studying the electrophysiology and water relations of plant cells by using microelectrode and pressure probe techniques. The recent finding that protoplasts can be prepared from the giant ``mother cells' (Wang, J., Sukhorukov, V.L., Djuzenova, C.S., Zimmermann, U., Müller, T., Fuhr, G., 1997, Protoplasma 196:123–134) allowed the use of the patch-clamp technique to examine ion channel activity in the plasmalemma of this species. Outside-out and cell-attached experiments displayed three different types of voltage-gated Cl channels (VAC1, VAC2, VAC3, Valonia Anion Channel 1,2,3), one voltage-gated K+ channel (VKC1, Valonia K + Channel 1) as well as stretch-activated channels. In symmetrical 150 mm Cl media, VAC1 was most frequently observed and had a single channel conductance of 36 ± 7 pS (n= 4) in the outside-out and 33 ± 5 pS (n= 10) in the cell-attached configuration. The reversal potential of the corresponding current-voltage curves was within 0 ± 4 mV (n= 4, outside-out) and 9 ± 7 mV (n= 10, cell-attached) close to the Nernst potential of Cl and shifted towards more negative values when cell-attached experiments were performed in asymmetrical 50:150 mm Cl media (bath/pipette; E Cl− −20 ± 7 mV (n= 4); Nernst potential −28 mV). Consistent with a selectivity for Cl, VAC1 was inhibited by 100 μM DIDS (4,4′-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2′-disulfonic acid). VAC1 was activated by a hyperpolarization of the patch. Boltzmann fits of the channel activity under symmetrical 150 mm Cl conditions yielded a midpoint potential of −12 ± 5 mV (n= 4, outside-out) and −3 ± 6 mV (n= 9, cell-attached) and corresponding apparent minimum gating charges of 15 ± 3 (n= 4) and 18 ± 5 (n= 9). The midpoint potential shifted to more negative values in the presence of a Cl gradient. VAC2 was activated by voltages more negative than E Cl− and was always observed together with VAC1, but less frequently. It showed a ``flickering' gating. The single channel conductance was 99 ± 10 pS (n= 6). VAC3 was activated by membrane depolarization and frequently exhibited several subconductance states. The single channel conductance of the main conductance state was 36 ± 5 pS (n= 5). VKC1 was also activated by positive clamped voltages. Up to three conductance states occurred whereby the main conductance state had a single channel conductance of 124 ± 27 pS (n= 6). In the light of the above results it seems to be likely that VAC1 contributes mainly to the Cl conductance of the plasmalemma of the turgescent ``mother cells' and that this channel (as well as VAC2) can operate in the physiological membrane potential range. The physiological significance of VAC3 and VKC1 is unknown, but may be related (as the stretch-activated channels) to processes involved in turgor regulation.

Large Conductance Ca2+-Activated K+ Channels in Human Meningioma Cells   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Cells from ten human meningiomas were electrophysiologically characterized in both living tissue slices and primary cultures. In whole cells, depolarization to voltages higher than +80 mV evoked a large K+ outward current, which could be blocked by iberiotoxin (100 nm) and TEA (half blocking concentration IC50= 5.3 mm). Raising the internal Ca2+ from 10 nm to 2 mm shifted the voltage of half-maximum activation (V 1/2) of the K+ current from +106 to +4 mV. Respective inside-out patch recordings showed a voltage- and Ca2+-activated (BK Ca ) K+ channel with a conductance of 296 pS (130 mm K+ at both sides of the patch). V 1/2 of single-channel currents was +6, −12, −46, and −68 mV in the presence of 1, 10, 100, and 1000 μm Ca2+, respectively, at the internal face of the patch. In cell-attached patches the open probability (P o ) of BK Ca channels was nearly zero at potentials below +80 mV, matching the activation threshold for whole-cell K+ currents with 10 nm Ca2+ in the pipette. Application of 20 μm cytochalasin D increased P o of BK Ca channels in cell-attached patches within minutes. These data suggest that the activation of BK Ca channels in meningioma cells does not only depend on voltage and internal Ca2+ but is also controlled by the cytoskeleton.

The actions of clotrimazole and cetiedil, two drugs known to inhibit the Gardos channel, have been studied on single intermediate conductance calcium-activated potassium (IKCa) channels in inside out patches from human red blood cells, and compared with those of TEA and Ba2+ applied to the cytoplasmic face of the membrane. TEA produced a fast block which was observed as a reduction in the amplitude of the single channel current. This effect was weakly voltage dependent with the fraction of the membrane potential sensed by TEA at its binding site (δ) of 0.18 and a K d at 0 mV of 20.5 mm. Ba2+ was a very potent blocker of the channel, breaking the single channel activity up into bursts, interspersed with silent periods lasting several seconds. The effect of Ba2+ was very voltage sensitive, δ= 0.44, and a K d at 0 mV of 0.15 μm. Clotrimazole applied to the inner face of the membrane at a concentration ≤1 μm produced a slow block resulting in bursts of channel activity separated by quiescent periods lasting many seconds. The effect of clotrimazole was mimicked by a quaternary derivative UCL 1559, in keeping with an action at the cytoplasmic face of the channel. A high concentration of cetiedil (100 μm) produced only a weak block of the channel. The kinetics of this action were very slow, with burst and inter-burst intervals lasting several minutes. While inhibition of the Gardos channel by cetiedil is unlikely to involve an intracellular site of action, if clotrimazole is able to penetrate the membrane, part of its effect may result from binding to an intracellular site on the channel.

The lipid bilayer technique is used to examine the biophysical properties of anion and cation channels frequently formed by platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) venom (OaV). The OaV-formed anion channel in 250/50 mm KCl cis/trans has a maximum conductance of 857 ± 23 pS (n= 5) in 250/50 mm KCl cis/trans. The current-voltage relationship of this channel shows strong inward rectification. The channel activity undergoes time-dependent inactivation that can be removed by depolarizing voltage steps more positive than the reversal potential for chloride, E Cl , (+40 mV). The reversal potential of the OaV-formed slow current activity in 250/50 mm KCl cis/trans is close to the potassium equilibrium potential (E K ) of −40 mV. The conductance values for the slow channel are 22.5 ± 2.6 pS and 41.38 ± 4.2 pS in 250/50 and 750/50 mm cis/trans, respectively. The gating kinetics of the slow ion channels are voltage-dependent. The channel open probability (P o ) is between 0.1 and 0.8 at potentials between 0 and +140 mV. The channel frequency (F o ) increases with depolarizing voltages between 0 and +140 mV, whereas mean open time (T o ) and mean closed time (T c ) decrease. Ion substitution experiments of the cis solution show that the channel has conductance values of 21.47 ± 2.3 and 0.53 ± 0.1 pS in 250 mm KCl and choline Cl, respectively. The amplitude of the single channel current is dependent on [K+] cis and the current reversal potential (E rev ) responds to increases in [K+] cis by shifting to more negative voltages. The increase in current amplitude as a function of increasing [K+] cis can be best described by a third order polynomial fit. At +140 mV, the values of the maximal single channel conductance (γ max ) and the concentration for half maximal γ (K s ) are 38.6 pS and 380 mm and decline to 15.76 pS and 250 mm at 0 mV, respectively. The ion selectivity of the channel to K+, Na+, Cs+ and choline+ was determined in ion substitution experiments. The permeability values for P K+ :P Na+ :P Cs+ :P choline+ were 1:1:0.63:0.089, respectively. On the other hand, the activity of the slow channel was eliminated (Fig. 7B). The slow channel was reversibly inhibited by [TEA+] trans and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (K i ) was ∼48 mm. Received: 26 April 1999/Revised: 19 July 1999  相似文献

These experiments were conducted to determine the membrane K+ currents and channels in human urinary bladder (HTB-9) carcinoma cells in vitro. K+ currents and channel activity were assessed by the whole-cell voltage clamp and by either inside-out or outside-out patch clamp recordings. Cell depolarization resulted in activation of a Ca2+-dependent outward K+ current, 0.57 ± 0.13 nS/pF at −70 mV holding potential and 3.10 ± 0.15 nS/pF at 30 mV holding potential. Corresponding patch clamp measurements demonstrated a Ca2+-activated, voltage-dependent K+ channel (KCa) of 214 ± 3.0 pS. Scorpion venom peptides, charybdotoxin (ChTx) and iberiotoxin (IbTx), inhibited both the activated current and the KCa activity. In addition, on-cell patch recordings demonstrated an inwardly rectifying K+ channel, 21 ± 1 pS at positive transmembrane potential (V m ) and 145 ± 13 pS at negative V m . Glibenclamide (50 μm), Ba2+ (1 mm) and quinine (100 μm) each inhibited the corresponding nonactivated, basal whole-cell current. Moreover, glibenclamide inhibited K+ channels in inside/out patches in a dose-dependent manner, and the IC50= 46 μm. The identity of this K+ channel with an ATP-sensitive K+ channel (KATP) was confirmed by its inhibition with ATP (2 mm) and by its activation with diazoxide (100 μm). We conclude that plasma membranes of HTB-9 cells contain the KCa and a lower conductance K+ channel with properties consistent with a sulfonylurea receptor-linked KATP.

A K+ channel with a main conductance of 29 pS was recorded after the incorporation of coronary artery membrane vesicles into lipid bilayers. This channel was identified as an ATP-sensitive K+ channel (KATP) because its activity was diminished by the internal application of 50–250 μm ATP-Na2. Moreover, it was opened when 10–50 μm pinacidil was externally applied. Single-channel records revealed the existence of several (sub)conductance states. At 0 mV and with a 5/250 KCl gradient, the main conductance of the KATP channel was 29 pS. The other (sub)conductance states were less frequent and had discrete values of 12, 17 and 22 pS. Pinacidil stabilized the channel open state primarily in the 29 pS conductance level; whereas ATP inhibited all the conductance levels. In general, KATP channels were characterized by brief openings followed by long closings (open probability, P o ≈ 0.02); only occasionally (3 out of 12 experiments) did the KATP channels have a high open probability (P o ≥ 0.7). Channel activity could be increased or rescued by adding 2.5–10 mm UDP-TRIS and 0.5–2 mm MgCl2 to the internal side of the channel. Received: 7 November 1995/Revised: 10 June 1996  相似文献

The hypothesis that amiloride-sensitive Na+ channel complexes immunopurified from bovine renal papillary collecting tubules contain, as their core conduction component, an ENaC subunit, was tested by functional and immunological criteria. Disulfide bond reduction with dithiothreitol (DTT) of renal Na+ channels incorporated into planar lipid bilayers caused a reduction of single channel conductance from 40 pS to 13 pS, and uncoupled PKA regulation of this channel. The cation permeability sequence, as assessed from bi-ionic reversal potential measurements, and apparent amiloride equilibrium dissociation constant (K amil i ) of the Na+ channels were unaltered by DTT treatment. Like ENaC, the DTT treated renal channel became mechanosensitive, and displayed a substantial decrease in K amil i following stretch (0.44 ± 0.12 μm versus 6.9 ± 1.0 μm). Moreover, stretch activation induced a loss in the channel's ability to discriminate between monovalent cations, and even allowed Ca2+ to permeate. Polyclonal antibodies generated against a fusion protein of αbENaC recognized a 70 kDa polypeptide component of the renal Na+ channel complex. These data suggest that ENaC is present in the immunopurified renal Na+ channel protein complex, and that PKA sensitivity is conferred by other associated proteins.

The Ca2+-activated maxi K+ channel was found in the apical membrane of everted rabbit connecting tubule (CNT) with a patch-clamp technique. The mean number of open channels (NP o ) was markedly increased from 0.007 ± 0.004 to 0.189 ± 0.039 (n= 7) by stretching the patch membrane in a cell-attached configuration. This activation was suggested to be coupled with the stretch-activation of Ca2+-permeable cation channels, because the maxi K+ channel was not stretch-activated in both the cell-attached configuration using Ca2+-free pipette and in the inside-out one in the presence of 10 mm EGTA in the cytoplasmic side. The maxi K+ channel was completely blocked by extracellular 1 μm charybdotoxin (CTX), but was not by cytoplasmic 33 μm arachidonic acid (AA). On the other hand, the low-conductance K+ channel, which was also found in the same membrane, was completely inhibited by 11 μm AA, but not by 1 μm CTX. The apical K+ conductance in the CNT was estimated by the deflection of transepithelial voltage (ΔV t ) when luminal K+ concentration was increased from 5 to 15 mEq. When the tubule was perfused with hydraulic pressure of 0.5 KPa, the ΔV t was only −0.7 ± 0.4 mV. However, an increase in luminal fluid flow by increasing perfusion pressure to 1.5 KPa markedly enhanced ΔV t to −9.4 ± 0.9 mV. Luminal application of 1 μm CTX reduced the ΔV t to −1.3 ± 0.6 mV significantly in 6 tubules, whereas no significant change of ΔV t was recorded by applying 33 μm AA into the lumen of 5 tubules (ΔV t =−7.2 ± 0.5 mV in control vs.ΔV t =−6.7 ± 0.6 mV in AA). These results suggest that the Ca2+-activated maxi K+ channel is responsible for flow-dependent K+ secretion by coupling with the stretch-activated Ca2+-permeable cation channel in the rabbit CNT.

The gating cycle of CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane conductance Regulator) chloride channels requires ATP hydrolysis and can be interrupted by exposure to the nonhydrolyzable nucleotide AMP-PNP. To further characterize nucleotide interactions and channel gating, we have studied the effects of AMP-PNP, protein kinase C (PKC) phosphorylation, and temperature on gating kinetics. The rate of channel locking increased from 1.05 × 10−3 sec−1 to 58.7 × 10−3 sec−1 when AMP-PNP concentration was raised from 0.5 to 5 mm in the presence of 1 mm MgATP and 180 nm protein kinase A catalytic subunit (PKA). Although rapid locking precluded estimation of P o or opening rate immediately after the addition of AMP-PNP to wild-type channels, analysis of locking rates in the presence of high AMP-PNP concentrations revealed two components. The appearance of a distinct, slow component at high [AMP-PNP] is evidence for AMP-PNP interactions at a second site, where competition with ATP would reduce P o and thereby delay locking. All channels exhibited locking when they were strongly phosphorylated by PKA, but not when exposed to PKC alone. AMP-PNP increased P o at temperatures above 30°C but did not cause locking, evidence that the stabilizing interactions between domains, which have been proposed to maintain CFTR in the open burst state, are relatively weak. The temperature dependence of normal CFTR gating by ATP was strongly asymmetric, with the opening rate being much more temperature sensitive (Q 10= 9.6) than the closing rate (Q 10= 3.6). These results are consistent with a cyclic model for gating of phosphorylated CFTR. Received: 28 August 1997/Revised: 4 February 1998  相似文献

A large conductance, Ca2+-activated K+ channel of the BK type was examined in cultured pituitary melanotrophs obtained from adult male rats. In cell-attached recordings the slope conductance for the BK channel was ≈190 pS and the probability (P o ) of finding the channel in the open state at the resting membrane potential was low (<<0.1). Channels in inside-out patches and in symmetrical 150 mm K+ had a conductance of ≈260 pS. The lower conductance in the cell-attached recordings is provisionally attributed to an intracellular K+ concentration of ≈113 mm. The permeability sequence, relative to K+, was K+ > Rb+ (0.87) > NH+ 4 (0.17) > Cs+≥ Na+ (≤0.02). The slope conductance for Rb+ was much less than for K+. Neither Na+ nor Cs+ carried measurable currents and 150 mm internal Cs+ caused a flickery block of the channel. Internal tetraethylammonium ions (TEA+) produced a fast block for which the dissociation constant at 0 mV (K D (0 mV)) was 50 mm. The K D (0 mV) for external TEA+ was much lower, 0.25 mm, and the blocking reaction was slower as evidenced by flickery open channel currents. With both internal and external TEA+ the blocking reaction was bimolecular and weakly voltage dependent. External charybdotoxin (40 nm) caused a large and reversible decrease of P o . The P o was increased by depolarization and/or by increasing the concentration of internal Ca2+. In 0.1 μm Ca2+ the half-maximal P o occurred at ≈100 mV; increasing Ca2+ to 1 μm shifted the voltage for the half-maximal P o to −75 mV. The Ca2+ dependence of the gating was approximated by a fourth power relationship suggesting the presence of four Ca2+ binding sites on the BK channel.

GABAA channels were activated by GABA in outside-out patches from rat cultured hippocampal neurons. They were blocked by bicuculline and potentiated by diazepam. In 109 of 190 outside-out patches, no channels were active before exposure to GABA (silent patches). The other 81 patches showed spontaneous channel activity. In patches containing spontaneous channel activity, rapid application of GABA rapidly activated channels. In 93 of the silent patches, channels could be activated by GABA but only after a delay that was sometimes as long as 10 minutes. The maximum channel conductance of the channels activated after a delay increased with GABA concentration from less than 10 pS (0.5 μm GABA) to more than 100 pS (10 mm GABA). Fitting the data with a Hill-type equation gave an EC 50 value of 33 μm and a Hill coefficient of 0.6. The channels showed outward rectification and were chloride selective. In the presence of 1 μm diazepam, the GABA EC 50 decreased to 0.2 μm but the maximum conductance was unchanged. Diazepam decreased the average latency for channel opening. Bicuculline, a GABA antagonist, caused a concentration-dependent decrease in channel conductance. In channels activated with 100 μm GABA the bicuculline IC 50 was 19 μm. The effect of GABA on channel conductance shows that the role of the ligand in GABAA receptor channel function is more complex than previously thought.

Properties of large conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels were studied in the soma of motoneurones visually identified in thin slices of neonatal rat spinal cord. The channels had a conductance of 82 ± 5 pS in external Ringer solution (5.6 mm K+ o //155 mm K+ i ) and 231 ± 4 pS in external high-K o solution (155 mm K+ o //155 mm K+ i ). The channels were activated by depolarization and by an increase in internal Ca2+ concentration. Potentials of half-maximum channel activation (E50) were −13, −34, −64 and −85 mV in the presence of 10−6, 10−5, 10−4 and 10−3 m internal Ca2+, respectively. Using an internal solution containing 10−4 m Ca2+, averaged KCa currents showed fast activation within 2–3 msec after a voltage step to +50 mV. Averaged KCa currents did not inactivate during 400 msec voltage pulses. External TEA reduced the apparent single-channel amplitude with a 50% blocking concentration (IC50) of 0.17 ± 0.02 mm. KCa channels were completely suppressed by externally applied 100 mm charybdotoxin. It is concluded that KCa channels activated by Ca2+ entry during the action potential play an important role in the excitability of motoneurones.

The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a cAMP-activated, ATP-dependent chloride channel which may have additional functions. Recent reports that CFTR mediates substantial electrodiffusion of ATP from epithelial cells have led to the proposal that CFTR regulates other ion channels through an autocrine mechanism involving ATP. The aim of this study was to determine the ATP conductance of wild-type CFTR channels stably expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells using patch clamp techniques. In the cell-attached configuration with 100 mm Mg · ATP or Tris · ATP solution in the pipette and 140 mm NaCl in the bath, exposing cells to forskolin caused the activation of a low-conductance channel having kinetics resembling those of CFTR. Single channel currents were negative at the resting membrane potential (V m ), consistent with net diffusion of Cl from the cell into the pipette. The transitions decreased in amplitude, but did not reverse direction, as V m was clamped at increasingly positive potentials to enhance the driving force for inward ATP flow (>+80 mV). In excised patches, single channel currents did not reverse under essentially biionic conditions (Clin/ATPout or ATPin/Clout), although PKA-activated currents were clearly visible in the same patches at voltages where they would be carried by chloride ions. Moreover, with NaCl solution in the bath and a mixture of ATP and Cl in the pipette, the single channel I/V curve reversed at the predicted equilibrium potential for chloride. CFTR channel currents disappeared when patches were exposed to symmetrical ATP solutions and were restored by reexposure to Cl solution. Finally, in the whole-cell configuration with NaCl in the bath and 100 mm MgATP or TrisATP in the pipette, cAMP-stimulated cells had time-independent, outwardly rectifying currents consistent with CFTR selectivity for external Cl over internal ATP. Whole-cell currents reversed near V m =−55 mV under these conditions, however the whole cell resistance measured at −100 mV was comparable to that of the gigaohm seal between the plasma membrane and glass pipette (7 GΩ). We conclude that CFTR does not mediate detectable electrodiffusion of ATP. Received: 8 November 1995/Revised: 23 January 1996  相似文献
