A molecular link between activation and inactivation of sodium channels
A pair of tyrosine residues, located on the cytoplasmic linker between the third and fourth domains of human heart sodium channels, plays a critical role in the kinetics and voltage dependence of inactivation. Substitution of these residues by glutamine (Y1494Y1495/QQ), but not phenylalanine, nearly eliminates the voltage dependence of the inactivation time constant measured from the decay of m...
متن کاملActivation and inactivation of single calcium channels in snail neurons
Activation and inactivation properties of Ca currents were investigated by studying the behavior of single Ca channels in snail neurons. The methods described in the previous paper were used. In addition, a zero-phase digital filter has been incorporated to improve the analysis of latencies to first opening, or waiting times. It was found that a decrease in the probability of single channel ope...
متن کاملInactivation of Kv2.1 potassium channels.
We report here several unusual features of inactivation of the rat Kv2.1 delayed rectifier potassium channel, expressed in Xenopus oocytes. The voltage dependence of inactivation was U-shaped, with maximum inactivation near 0 mV. During a maintained depolarization, development of inactivation was slow and only weakly voltage dependent (tau = 4 s at 0 mV; tau = 7 s at +80 mV). However, recovery ...
متن کاملInactivation of Neuronal Calcium Channels
NATURE REVIEWS | NEUROSCIENCE VOLUME 3 | NOVEMBER 2002 | 873 Voltage-gated Ca channels (VGCCs) are a large family of integral membrane proteins that control the selective flow of Ca ions down their electrochemical gradient in response to changes in membrane potential (BOX 1; TABLE 1). Ca ions control processes as diverse as cell proliferation, neuronal development and transmitter release. All o...
متن کاملCa2+-induced activation and irreversible inactivation of chloride channels in the perfused plasmalemma of Nitellopsis obtusa.
Experiments were carried out on the algal cells with removed tonoplast using both continuous intracellular perfusion and voltage clamp on plasmalemma. The transient plasmalemma current induced by depolarization disappeared upon perfusion with the Ca2+-chelating agent, EGTA, since the voltage-dependent calcium channels lost their ability to activate. Subsequent replacement of the perfusion mediu...
