Abstract: | Summary The outward rectification of the K+ current in mesophyll cell protoplasts from trap-lobes ofDionaea muscipula was studied with the patch-clamp technique. The rectification had instantaneous and time-dependent components. Changes in K+]
i
strongly affected the conductance voltage relation of the plasma membrane while changes in K+]
o
had little effect on the relation. Thus, the outward rectification depends on the membrane voltage and the concentration of intracellular K+. Corresponding single-channel activities were observed both in the intact membrane (cell-attached recording) and in excised patches. The single-channel conductance was about 3.3 pS with symmetrical solutions containing 30mm K+. |
