Selective Open-Channel Block of Shaker (Kv1) Potassium Channels by S-Nitrosodithiothreitol (Sndtt)
Large quaternary ammonium (QA) ions block voltage-gated K(+) (Kv) channels by binding with a 1:1 stoichiometry in an aqueous cavity that is exposed to the cytoplasm only when channels are open. S-nitrosodithiothreitol (SNDTT; ONSCH(2)CH(OH)CH(OH)CH(2)SNO) produces qualitatively similar "open-channel block" in Kv channels despite a radically different structure. SNDTT is small, electrically neut...
متن کاملRegulation of arterial tone by KV1 potassium channels.
Potassium Channels To the Editor: We have read with interest the recent article published by Circulation Research entitled “Heteromultimeric Kv1 Channels Contribute to Myogenic Control of Arterial Diameter.”1 The study adds to an expanding body of evidence suggesting pivotal roles of the voltage-gated potassium channels (KV channels) in vascular smooth muscle cells as regulators of arterial ton...
متن کاملTwo heteromeric Kv1 potassium channels differentially regulate action potential firing.
Low-threshold voltage-gated potassium currents (I(LT)) activating close to resting membrane potentials play an important role in shaping action potential (AP) firing patterns. In the medial nucleus of the trapezoid body (MNTB), I(LT) ensures generation of single APs during each EPSP, so that the timing and pattern of AP firing is preserved on transmission across this relay synapse (calyx of Hel...
متن کاملConformational coupling in BK potassium channels
Large conductance calcium- and voltage-dependent BK potassium channels (aka BK(Ca), MaxiK, Slo1, KCa1.1, and KCNMA1) are expressed in a wide variety of tissues throughout the body and are activated by both intracellular Ca(2+) and membrane depolarization. Owing to these properties, BK channels participate in diverse physiological processes from electrical excitability in neurons and secretory c...
متن کاملKV1 and KV3 Potassium Channels Identified at Presynaptic Terminals of the Corticostriatal Synapses in Rat
In the last years it has been increasingly clear that KV-channel activity modulates neurotransmitter release. The subcellular localization and composition of potassium channels are crucial to understanding its influence on neurotransmitter release. To investigate the role of KV in corticostriatal synapses modulation, we combined extracellular recording of population-spike and pharmacological bl...
