Rapid inactivation of Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels was studied in Jurkat leukemic T lymphocytes using whole-cell patch clamp recording and [Ca2+]i measurement techniques. In the presence of 22 mM extracellular Ca2+, the Ca2+ current declined with a biexponential time course (time constants of 8-30 ms and 50-150 ms) during hyperpolarizing pulses to potentials more negative than -40 mV. Several lines of evidence suggest that the fast inactivation process is Ca2+ but not voltage dependent. First, the speed and extent of inactivation are enhanced by conditions that increase the rate of Ca2+ entry through open channels. Second, inactivation is substantially reduced when Ba2+ is present as the charge carrier. Third, inactivation is slowed by intracellular dialysis with BAPTA (12 mM), a rapid Ca2+ buffer, but not by raising the cytoplasmic concentration of EGTA, a slower chelator, from 1.2 to 12 mM. Recovery from fast inactivation is complete within 200 ms after repolarization to -12 mV. Rapid inactivation is unaffected by changes in the number of open CRAC channels or global [Ca2+]i. These results demonstrate that rapid inactivation of ICRAC results from the action of Ca2+ in close proximity to the intracellular mouths of individual channels, and that Ca2+ entry through one CRAC channel does not affect neighboring channels. A simple model for Ca2+ diffusion in the presence of a mobile buffer predicts multiple Ca2+ inactivation sites situated 3-4 nm from the intracellular mouth of the pore, consistent with a location on the CRAC channel itself. 相似文献

We have developed two methods to measure Ca2+ channel inactivation in Lymnaea neurons-one method, based upon the conventional double-pulse protocol, uses currents during a moderately large depolarizing pulse, and the other uses tail currents after a very strong activating pulse. Both methods avoid contamination by proton currents and are unaffected by rundown of Ca2+ current. The magnitude of inactivation measured differs for the two methods; this difference arises because the measurement of inactivation is inherently dependent upon the test pulse voltage used to monitor the Ca2+ channel conductance. We discuss two models that can generate such test pulse dependence of inactivation measurements-a two-channel model and a two-open-state model. The first model accounts for this by assuming the existence of two types of Ca2+ channels, different proportions of which are activated by the different test pulses. The second model assumes only one Ca2+ channel type, with two closed and open states; in this model, the test pulse dependence is due to the differential activation of channels in the two closed states by the test pulses. Test pulse dependence of inactivation measurements of Ca2+ channels may be a general phenomenon that has been overlooked in previous studies. 相似文献

Recovery from inactivation of T-type Ca channels is slow and saturates at moderate hyperpolarizing voltage steps compared with Na channels. To explore this unique kinetic pattern we measured gating and ionic currents in two closely related isoforms of T-type Ca channels. Gating current recovers from inactivation much faster than ionic current, and recovery from inactivation is much more voltage dependent for gating current than for ionic current. There is a lag in the onset of gating current recovery at -80 mV, but no lag is discernible at -120 mV. The delay in recovery from inactivation of ionic current is much more evident at all voltages. The time constant for the decay of off gating current is very similar to the time constant of deactivation of open channels (ionic tail current), and both are strongly voltage dependent over a wide voltage range. Apparently, the development of inactivation has little influence on the initial deactivation step. These results suggest that movement of gating charge occurs for inactivated states very quickly. In contrast, the transitions from inactivated to available states are orders of magnitude slower, not voltage dependent, and are rate limiting for ionic recovery. These findings support a deactivation-first path for T-type Ca channel recovery from inactivation. We have integrated these concepts into an eight-state kinetic model, which can account for the major characteristics of T-type Ca channel inactivation. 相似文献

Sustained Ca(2+) influx through plasma membrane Ca(2+) released-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channels is essential for T cell activation. Since inflowing Ca(2+) inactivates CRAC channels, T cell activation is only possible if Ca(2+)-dependent inactivation is prevented. We have previously reported that sustained Ca(2+) influx through CRAC channels requires both mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake and mitochondrial translocation towards the plasma membrane in order to prevent Ca(2+)-dependent channel inactivation. Here, we show that morphological changes following formation of the immunological synapse (IS) modulate Ca(2+) influx through CRAC channels. Cell shape changes were dependent on the actin cytoskeleton, and they sustained Ca(2+) entry by bringing mitochondria and the plasma membrane in closer proximity. The increased percentage of mitochondria beneath the plasma membrane following shape changes occurred in all 3 dimensions and correlated with an increase in the amplitude of Ca(2+) signals. The shape change-dependent mitochondrial localization close to the plasma membrane prevented CRAC channel inactivation even in T cells in which dynein motor protein-dependent mitochondria movements towards the plasma membrane were completely abolished, highlighting the importance of the shape change-dependent control of Ca(2+) influx. Our results suggest that morphological changes do not only facilitate an efficient contact with antigen presenting cells but also strongly modulate Ca(2+) dependent T cell activation. 相似文献

Voltage-gated Na+ and Ca2+ conductances of freshly dissociated septal neurons were studied in the whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique. All cells exhibited a large Na+ current with characteristic fast activation and inactivation time courses. Half-time to peak current at -20 mV was 0.44 +/- 0.18 ms and maximal activation of Na+ conductance occurred at 0 mV or more positive membrane potentials. The average value was 91 +/- 32 nS (approximately 11 mS cm-2). At all membrane voltages inactivation was well fitted by a single exponential that had a time constant of 0.44 +/- 0.09 ms at 0 mV. Recovery from inactivation was complete in approximately 900 ms at -80 mV but in only 50 ms at -120 mV. The decay of Na+ tail currents had a single time constant that at -80 mV was faster than 100 microseconds. Depolarization of septal neurons also elicited a Ca2+ current that peaked in approximately 6-8 ms. Maximal peak Ca2+ current was obtained at 20 mV, and with 10 mM external Ca2+ the amplitude was 0.35 +/- 0.22 nA. During a maintained depolarization this current partially inactivated in the course of 200-300 ms. The Ca2+ current was due to the activity of two types of conductances with different deactivation kinetics. At -80 mV the closing time constants of slow (SD) and fast (FD) deactivating channels were, respectively, 1.99 +/- 0.2 and 0.11 +/- 0.03 ms (25 degrees C). The two kinds of channels also differed in their activation voltage, inactivation time course, slope of the conductance-voltage curve, and resistance to intracellular dialysis. The proportion of SD and FD channels varied from cell to cell, which may explain the differential electrophysiological responses of intracellularly recorded septal neurons. 相似文献

Pituitary corticotroph cells generate repetitive action potentials and associated Ca2+ transients in response to the agonist corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH). There is indirect evidence suggesting that the agonist, by way of complex intracellular mechanisms, modulates the voltage sensitivity of the L-type Ca2+ channels embedded in the plasma membrane. We have previously constructed a Hodgkin-Huxley-type model of this process, which indicated that an increase in the L-type Ca2+ current is sufficient to generate repetitive action potentials (LeBeau et al. (1997). Biophys. J.73, 1263-1275). CRH is also believed to inhibit an inwardly rectifying K+ current. In this paper, we have found that a CRH-induced inhibition of the inwardly rectifying K+ current increases the model action potential firing frequency, [Ca2+]i transients and membrane excitability. This dual modulatory action of CRH on inward rectifier and voltage-gated Ca2+ channels better describes the observed CRH-induced effects. This structural alteration to the model along with parameter changes bring the model firing frequency in line with experimental data. We also show that the model exhibits experimentally observed bursting behaviour, where the depolarization spike is followed by small oscillations in the membrane potential. 相似文献

Single calcium channels and their inactivation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Inactivation of single Ca channels in snail neurons was examined to test the idea that entering Ca ions react directly with the channel to produce this effect. Simulations of specific models were used for comparison with the experimental data. The Ca-dependent model predicts time-dependent changes in the single-channel events which were not found experimentally. It is possible that Ca-dependent inactivation is mediated by a Ca-binding protein that is associated with but not part of the channel itself. 相似文献

Native smooth muscle L-type Ca(v)1.2 calcium channels have been shown to support a fraction of Ca(2+) currents with a window current that is close to resting potential. The smooth muscle L-type Ca(2+) channels are also more susceptible to inhibition by dihydropyridines (DHPs) than the cardiac channels. It was hypothesized that smooth muscle Ca(v)1.2 channels exhibiting hyperpolarized shift in steady-state inactivation would contribute to larger inhibition by DHP, in addition to structural differences of the channels generated by alternative splicing that modulate DHP sensitivities. In addition, it has also been shown that alternative splicing modulates DHP sensitivities by generating structural differences in the Ca(v)1.2 channels. Here, we report a smooth muscle L-type Ca(v)1.2 calcium channel splice variant, Ca(v)1.2SM (1/8/9(*)/32/Delta33), that when expressed in HEK 293 cells display hyperpolarized shifts for steady-state inactivation and activation potentials when compared with the established Ca(v)1.2b clone (1/8/9(*)/32/33). This variant activates from more negative potentials and generates a window current closer to resting membrane potential. We also identified the predominant cardiac isoform Ca(v)1.2CM clone (1a/8a/Delta9(*)/32/33) that is different from the established Ca(v)1.2a (1a/8a/Delta9(*)/31/33). Importantly, Ca(v)1.2SM channels were shown to be more sensitive to nifedipine blockade than Ca(v)1.2b and cardiac Ca(v)1.2CM channels when currents were recorded in either 5 mM Ba(2+) or 1.8 mM Ca(2+) external solutions. This is the first time that a smooth muscle Ca(v)1.2 splice variant has been identified functionally to possess biophysical property that can be linked to enhanced state-dependent block by DHP. 相似文献

A Markovian model of the cardiac Ca release channel, based on experimental single-channel gating data, was constructed to understand the transient nature of Ca release. The rate constants for a minimal gating scheme with one Ca-free resting state, and with two open and three closed states with one bound Ca2+, were optimized to simulate the following experimental findings. In steady state the channel displays three modes of activity: inactivated 1 mode without openings, low-activity L mode with single openings, and high-activity H mode with bursts of openings. At the onset of a Ca2+ step, the channel first activates in H mode and then slowly relaxes to a mixture of all three modes, the distribution of which depends on the new Ca2+. The corresponding ensemble current shows rapid activation, which is followed by a slow partial inactivation. The transient reactivation of the channel (increment detection) in response to successive additions of Ca2+ is then explained by the model as a gradual recruitment of channels from the extant pool of channels in the resting state. For channels in a living cell, the model predicts a high level of peak activation, a high extent of inactivation, and rapid deactivation, which could underlie the observed characteristics of the elementary release events (calcium sparks). 相似文献

The ryanodine-sensitive calcium channels are pivotal to signal transduction and cell function in many cell types, including cardiac myocytes. In this paper a kinetic model is proposed for these channels. In the model there are two Ca regulatory sites on the channel protein, one positive and the other negative. Cytoplasmic Ca binds to these regulatory sites independently It is assumed that the binding of Ca to the positive site is a much faster process than binding to the negative site. At steady state, the channel opening as a function of the Ca concentration is a bell-shaped curve. The model predicts the adaptation of channels to constant Ca stimulus. When this model is applied to cardiac myocytes, it predicts excitability with respect to Ca perturbations, smoothly graded responses, and Ca oscillations in certain pathological circumstances. In a spatially distributed system, traveling Ca waves in individual myocytes exist under certain conditions. This model can also be applied to other systems where the ryanodine-sensitive channels have been identified. 相似文献

Intracellular Ca2+ can inhibit the activity of voltage-gated Ca channels by modulating the rate of channel inactivation. Ca(2+)-dependent inactivation of these channels may be a common negative feedback process important for regulating Ca2+ entry under physiological and pathological conditions. This article demonstrates that the inactivation of cardiac L-type Ca channels, reconstituted into planar lipid bilayers and studied in the presence of a dihydropyridine agonist, is sensitive to Ca2+. The rates and extents of inactivation, determined from ensemble averages of unitary Ba2+ currents, decreased when the calcium concentration facing the intracellular surface of the channel ([Ca2+]i) was lowered from approximately 10 microM to 20 nM by the addition of Ca2+ chelators. The rates and extents of Ba2+ current inactivation could also be increased by subsequent addition of Ca2+ raising the [Ca2+]i to 15 microM, thus demonstrating that the Ca2+ dependence of inactivation could be reversibly regulated by changes in [Ca2+]i. In addition, reconstituted Ca channels inactivated more quickly when the inward current was carried by Ca2+ than when it was carried by Ba2+, suggesting that local increases in [Ca2+]i could activate Ca(2+)-dependent inactivation. These data support models in which Ca2+ binds to the channel itself or to closely associated regulatory proteins to control the rate of channel inactivation, and are inconsistent with purely enzymatic models for channel inactivation. 相似文献

Inactivation of calcium channels 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Rapid progress in our understanding of the properties and functions of voltage-gated calcium channels had produced the need for an update to our previous review of calcium inactivation. The major elements of change included in this review are: 1. The existence of multiple forms of voltage-sensitive Ca+ channels, with distinctive single channel properties, thus necessitating a reappraisal of properties deduced from macroscopic current recordings, particularly of the processes of activation and inactivation. 2. The differences in biochemical properties between channel types are reflected in their differences in divalent selectivity, their requirement for metabolic maintenance and their mechanism of inactivation. These properties appear to divide the channels into two categories which may relate to their molecular structures. Further subgroupings, based upon the voltage thresholds, have also been observed. 3. Molecular properties of one class of channels have been elucidated, which correlate with the observed biochemistry of channel modulation and inactivation. 4. An enzymatic process underlying the mechanism of Ca2+-dependent inactivation has been elucidated and may serve as a model for other modulatory systems. The interweaving of the properties of these Ca2+ channels, with their spatial distributions and their influence upon other channel types, acts to transduce and integrate information within cells. 相似文献

We have analyzed the gating kinetics of T-type Ca channels in 3T3 fibroblasts. Our results show that channel closing, inactivation, and recovery from inactivation each include a voltage-independent step which becomes rate limiting at extreme potentials. The data require a cyclic model with a minimum of two closed, one open, and two inactivated states. Such a model can produce good fits to our data even if the transitions between closed states are the only voltage-dependent steps in the activating pathway leading from closed to inactivated states. Our analysis suggests that the channel inactivation step, as well as the direct opening and closing transitions, are not intrinsically voltage sensitive. Single-channel recordings are consistent with this scheme. As expected, each channel produces a single burst per opening and then inactivates. Comparison of the kinetics of T-type Ca current in fibroblasts and neuronal cells reveals significant differences which suggest that different subtypes of T-type Ca channels are expressed differentially in a tissue specific manner. 相似文献

During sustained depolarization, voltage-gated Ca2+ channels progressively undergo a transition to a nonconducting, inactivated state, preventing Ca2+ overload of the cell. This transition can be triggered either by the membrane potential (voltage-dependent inactivation) or by the consecutive entry of Ca2+ (Ca2+-dependent inactivation), depending on the type of Ca2+ channel. These two types of inactivation are suspected to arise from distinct underlying mechanisms, relying on specific molecular sequences of the different pore-forming Ca2+ channel subunits. Here we report that the voltage-dependent inactivation (of the alpha1A Ca2+ channel) and the Ca2+-dependent inactivation (of the alpha1C Ca2+ channel) are similarly influenced by Ca2+ channel beta subunits. The same molecular determinants of the beta subunit, and therefore the same subunit interactions, influence both types of inactivation. These results strongly suggest that the voltage and the Ca2+-dependent transitions leading to channel inactivation use homologous structures of the different alpha1 subunits and occur through the same molecular process. A model of inactivation taking into account these new data is presented. 相似文献

Based on the model of a toroidal protein-lipid pore, the effect of calcium ions on colicin E1 channel was predicted. In electrophysiological experiments Ca2+ suppressed the activity of colicin E1 channels in membranes formed of diphytanoylphosphatidylglycerol, whereas no desorption of the protein occurred from the membrane surface. The effect of Ca2+ was not observed on membranes formed of diphytanoylphosphatidylcholine. Single-channel measurements revealed that Ca2+-induced reduction of the colicin-induced current across the negatively charged membrane was due to a decrease in the number of open colicin channels and not changes in their properties. In line with the toroidal model, the effect of Ca2+ on the colicin E1 channel-forming activity is explained by alteration of the membrane lipid curvature caused by electrostatic interaction of Ca2+ with negatively charged lipid head groups. 相似文献

Summary Ca-channel currents were recorded in Cs-loaded single smooth muscle cells from rat vas deferens to define the dependence of the inactivation time course on Ca concentration. The decay of Ca-channel current obtained in a Ba2+- or Sr2+-containing external solution during long voltage-clamp pulses was much slower than that in a Ca-containing solution. The difference was not due to a change in the surface potential of the membrane as judged from the steady-state activation and inactivation curves. When Ca was the charge carrier, increasing external Ca concentration slightly accelerated the rate of inactivation. In addition, the rate of inactivation of Ca-channel current in 10.8mm Ba was also accelerated by adding Ca to the external solution in a concentration-dependent manner. The time course of Ca-current inactivation was slowed when the cells were dialyzed with a high concentration of citrate, a Ca-chelating agent. From these results, we concluded that a mechanism regulated by intracellular Ca activity plays a role in the inactivation of Ca channels in smooth muscle. The Ca-dependent process may protect against Ca overload by regulating Ca entry in smooth muscle cells. 相似文献

The L-type calcium current (ICa) plays an important role in excitation-contraction coupling of heart cells. It is critical for forming the major trigger for Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum and hence its feedback regulation is of fundamental biological significance. The channel inactivation sharpens the kinetics and temporal precision of the Ca(2+) signals so that it prevents longer-term increases in free intracellular Ca(2+) concentration. Cardiac L-type Ca(2+) channels are known to inactivate through voltage- and Ca(2+)-dependent mechanisms. Pure voltage-dependent inactivation has a much slower time course of development than Ca(2+)-dependent inactivation and plays minor role in inhibition of Ca(2+) influx into the cell. The major determinant of the inactivation kinetics of Ca(2+) current during depolarization is Ca(2+)-dependent mechanisms. Furthermore, it is possible to distinguish two phases in Ca(2+)-dependent inactivation of calcium current: a slow phase that depends on Ca(2+) flow through the channels (Ca(2+) current-dependent inactivation) and a fast one that depends on Ca(2+) released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (Ca(2+) release-dependent inactivation). Although both Ca(2+) released from the SR and Ca(2+) permeating channels play a role, SR-released Ca(2+) is the most effective inactivation mechanism in inhibition of Ca(2+) entry through the channel. 相似文献

We tested the contribution of extracellular calcium (Ca2+) to membrane electrical responses to acetylcholine (ACh) in native Xenopus oocytes. Removal of Cao caused a decrease in both the rapid (D1) and the slow (D2) chloride currents that comprise the common depolarizing response to ACh in native oocyte. The effect of Ca2+o removal on the muscarinic response was mimicked by the addition of 1 mM Mn2+, an effective antagonist of calcium influx, though not by antagonists of voltage-sensitive calcium channels. When oocytes were challenged with ACh in Ca2(+)-free medium, subsequent addition of 1.8 mM CaCl2 resulted in a rapid, often transient, depolarizing current. Similarly to the Ca2+o-dependent component of membrane electrical responses, the Ca2(+)-evoked current was reversibly abolished by Mn2+, though not by antigonists of voltage-sensitive calcium channels. Depletion of cellular calcium potentiated the Ca2(+)-evoked current, implying negative feedback of calcium channels by calcium. Injection of 10-100 fmol of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) resulted in a two-component depolarizing current. IP3 injection promoted the appearance of Ca2+o-evoked current that was significantly potentiated by previous calcium depletion. We suggest that activation of cell-membrane muscarinic receptors causes opening of apparently voltage-insensitive and verapamil or diltiazem-resistant calcium channels. These channels may be activated by IP3 or its metabolites, which increase following the activation of cell membrane receptors coupled to a phospholipase C. The channels may be identical to receptor-operated channels described in other model systems. 相似文献

Phototransduction in Drosophila is mediated by the ubiquitous phosphoinositide cascade, leading to opening of the TRP and TRPL channels, which are prototypical members of a novel class of membrane proteins. Drosophila mutants lacking the TRP protein display a response to light that declines to the dark level during illumination. It has recently been suggested that this response inactivation results from a negative feedback by calcium-calmodulin, leading to closure of the TRPL channels. It is also suggested that in contrast to other phosphoinositide-mediated systems, Ca2+ release from internal stores is neither involved in channel activation nor in phototransduction in general. We now show that inactivation of the light response in trp photoreceptors is enhanced upon reduction of the intracellular Ca2+ concentration. Furthermore, in Ca(2+)-free medium, when there is no Ca2+ influx into the photoreceptors, we demonstrate a significant elevation of intracellular Ca2+ upon illumination. This elevation correlates with ability of the cells to respond to light. Accordingly, malfunctioning of Ca2+ stores, either by Ca2+ deprivation or by application of the Ca2+ pump inhibitor, thapsigargin, confers a trp phenotype on wild type flies. The results indicate that the response inactivation in trp cells results from Ca2+ deficiency rather than from Ca(2+)-dependent negative feedback. The results also indicate that there is light-induced release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores. Furthermore, the response to light is correlated to Ca2+ release, and normal function of the stores is required for prolonged excitation. We suggest that phototransduction in Drosophila depends on Ca(2+)-release mediated signalling and that TRP is essential for the normal function of this process. 相似文献
