Ca2+ dependence of the Ca2+-selective TRPV6 channel.
Microfluorimetry and patch-clamp experiments were performed on TRPV6-expressing HEK cells to determine whether this Ca(2+)-sensing Ca(2+) channel is constitutively active. Intact cells loaded with fura-2 had an elevated intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)), which decreased to the same level such as in non-transfected cells if external Ca(2+) was chelated by EGTA. Whole cell rec...
متن کاملVoltage dependence of the Ca2+-activated cation channel TRPM4.
TRPM4 is a Ca2+-activated but Ca2+-impermeable cation channel. An increase of [Ca2+]i induces activation and subsequent reduction of currents through TRPM4 channels. This inactivation is strikingly decreased in cell-free patches. In whole cell and cell-free configuration, currents through TRPM4 deactivate rapidly at negative potentials. At positive potentials, currents are much larger and activ...
متن کاملAlteration of Ca2+ dependence of neurotransmitter release by disruption of Ca2+ channel/syntaxin interaction.
Presynaptic N-type calcium channels interact with syntaxin and synaptosome-associated protein of 25 kDa (SNAP-25) through a binding site in the intracellular loop connecting domains II and III of the alpha1 subunit. This binding region was loaded into embryonic spinal neurons of Xenopus by early blastomere injection. After culturing, synaptic transmission of peptide-loaded and control cells was...
متن کاملCa2+ channel nanodomains boost local Ca2+ amplitude.
Local Ca(2+) signals through voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels (CaVs) drive synaptic transmission, neural plasticity, and cardiac contraction. Despite the importance of these events, the fundamental relationship between flux through a single CaV channel and the Ca(2+) signaling concentration within nanometers of its pore has resisted empirical determination, owing to limitations in the spatial reso...
متن کاملIonic dependence of Ca2+ channel modulation by syntaxin 1A.
Alteration of the kinetic properties of voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels, Ca(v)1.2 (Lc-type), Ca(v)2.2 (N type), and Ca(v)2.3 (R type), by syntaxin 1A (Syn1A) and synaptotagmin could modulate exocytosis. We tested how switching divalent charge carriers from Ca(2+) to Sr(2+) and Ba(2+) affected Syn1A and synaptotagmin modulation of Ca(2+)-channel activation. Syn1A accelerated Ca(v)1.2 activation if...
