AKT2/3 Subunits Render Guard Cell K+ Channels Ca2+ Sensitive
Inward-rectifying K+ channels serve as a major pathway for Ca2+-sensitive K+ influx into guard cells. Arabidopsis thaliana guard cell inward-rectifying K+ channels are assembled from multiple K+ channel subunits. Following the recent isolation and characterization of an akt2/3-1 knockout mutant, we examined whether the AKT2/3 subunit carries the Ca2+ sensitivity of the guard cell inward rectifi...
متن کاملVoltage dependence of K channels in guard-cell protoplasts.
Stomatal pores in leaves enable plants to regulate the exchange of gases with their environment. Variations of the pore aperture are mediated by controlled changes of potassium salt concentrations in the surrounding guard cells. The voltage-dependent gating of K(+)-selective channels in the plasma membrane (plasmalemma) of cell-wall-free guard cells (protoplasts) was studied at the molecular le...
متن کاملCytosolic abscisic acid activates guard cell anion channels without preceding Ca2+ signals.
The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) reports on the water status of the plant and induces stomatal closure. Guard cell anion channels play a central role in this response, because they mediate anion efflux, and in turn, cause a depolarization-induced K+ release. We recorded early steps in ABA signaling, introducing multibarreled microelectrodes in guard cells of intact plants. Upon external ABA...
متن کاملATP-sensitive K(+) channels composed of Kir6.1 and SUR2B subunits in guinea pig gastric myocytes.
This study was designed to identify the single-channel properties and molecular entity of ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channels in guinea pig gastric myocytes with patch-clamp recording and RT-PCR. Pinacidil and diazoxide activated K(ATP) currents in a glibenclamide-sensitive manner. The open probability of channels was enhanced by the application of 10 microM pinacidil from 0.085 +/- 0.04 to 0....
متن کاملQuintessence of Vascular Ca2+ and K+ channels
Vascular tone and hence blood pressure are determined by the contractile state of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) within the blood vessel wall, which is regulated by intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca]i). Vasoconstrictors act through increasing [Ca]i as well as on the apparent calcium sensitivity of the contractile process in VSMCs, whereas relaxing factors have the opposite effect. ...
