Calcium-dependent inactivation of a potassium current in the Aplysia neuron R15.
The endogenously bursting pacemaker neuron R15 of Aplysia exhibits an inwardly rectifying K+ current (IR) that was shown previously to be enhanced by various neurotransmitters via the intracellular second messenger, cyclic AMP (Drummond et al., 1980; Benson and Levitan, 1983; Levitan et al., 1987). Here we present evidence that Ca2+ influx, either caused by spontaneous bursting activity or elic...
متن کاملMechanism of calcium-dependent inactivation of a potassium current in Aplysia neuron R15: interaction between calcium and cyclic AMP.
In the preceding paper (Kramer and Levitan, 1988), we presented evidence that an inwardly rectifying K+ current (IR) is inactivated by Ca2+ influx accompanying spontaneous bursting activity in the Aplysia neuron R15. In this paper we examine the mechanism that enables Ca2+ to inactivate IR. Since IR is enhanced by cyclic AMP in neuron R15 (Drummond et al., 1980; Benson and Levitan, 1983), we ex...
متن کاملDopamine reduces slow outward current and calcium influx in burst-firing neuron R15 of Aplysia.
Dopamine's effect on calcium influx into the bursting neuron, R15, of Aplysia californica was tested by tail current measurements and by measurement of absorbance of intracellular Arsenazo III, a calcium-sensitive indicator. Slow outward tail currents were elicited by subthreshold depolarization in voltage clamp and were demonstrated to be dependent upon transient increases in intracellular cal...
متن کاملDecreased Response to Acetylcholine during Aging of Aplysia Neuron R15
How aging affects the communication between neurons is poorly understood. To address this question, we have studied the electrophysiological properties of identified neuron R15 of the marine mollusk Aplysia californica. R15 is a bursting neuron in the abdominal ganglia of the central nervous system and is implicated in reproduction, water balance, and heart function. Exposure to acetylcholine (...
متن کاملSerotonin increases an anomalously rectifying K+ current in the Aplysia neuron R15.
Previous work has shown that serotonin causes an increase in K+ conductance in the identified Aplysia neuron R15. This response is mediated by cAMP-dependent protein phosphorylation. The results presented here show that the K+ channel modulated by serotonin is an anomalous or inward rectifier (designated IR) that is present in R15 together with the three other distinct K+ channels previously de...
