pH-dependent modulation of the cloned renal K+ channel, ROMK.
pH is an important modulator of the low-conductance ATP-sensitive K+ channel of the distal nephron. To examine the mechanism of interaction of protons with the channel-forming protein, we expressed the cloned renal K channel, ROMK (Kir1.x), in Xenopus oocytes and examined the response to varied concentrations of protons both in the presence and in the absence of ATP. Initial experiments were pe...
متن کاملBlock of transient outward-type cloned cardiac K+ channel currents by quinidine.
The antiarrhythmic drug quinidine has been shown to block several types of K+ channel currents in cardiac preparations including the transient outward current (Ito). To characterize the molecular mechanism of quinidine block, a cloned Ito-type cardiac K+ channel (RHK1) was expressed in Xenopus oocytes, and drug effects were examined on whole-cell and single-channel currents. Extracellular appli...
متن کاملInactivating Potassium Channel Cloned From Human Heart
Recently a putative K' channel with homology to the Shaker family ofpotassium channels has been cloned from human ventricular myocardium. However, proof that the cDNA encodes a K' channel requires appropriate translation and expression of a functional ion-selective channel. Therefore, expression of this putative human K' channel DNA was attempted by cytoplasmic injections of in vitro transcribe...
متن کاملInvolvement of anion channel(s) in the modulation of the transient outward K(+) channel in rat ventricular myocytes.
The cardiac Ca(2+)-independent transient outward K(+) current (I(to)), a major repolarizing ionic current, is markedly affected by Cl(-) substitution and anion channel blockers. We reexplored the mechanism of the action of anions on I(to) by using whole cell patch-clamp in single isolated rat cardiac ventricular myocytes. The transient outward current was sensitive to blockade by 4-aminopyridin...
متن کاملCalcium channel beta subunit heterogeneity: functional expression of cloned cDNA from heart, aorta and brain.
Complementary DNAs encoding three novel and distinct beta subunits (CaB2a, CaB2b and CaB3) of the high voltage activated (L-type) calcium channel have been isolated from rabbit heart. Their deduced amino acid sequence is homologous to the beta subunit originally cloned from skeletal muscle (CaB1). CaB2a and CaB2b are splicing products of a common primary transcript (CaB2). Northern analysis and...
