Gating Kinetics of the α1i T-Type Calcium Channel
The alpha1I T-type calcium channel inactivates almost 10-fold more slowly than the other family members (alpha1G and alpha1H) or most native T-channels. We have examined the underlying mechanisms using whole-cell recordings from rat alpha1I stably expressed in HEK293 cells. We found several kinetic differences between alpha1G and alpha1I, including some properties that at first appear qualitati...

Sejnowski Computational Neurobiology Lab, Salk Institute, La Jolla, CA, USA The low-threshold Ca2+ channels that mediate regenerative Ca2+ currents in central neurons are responsible for generating bursts of Na+/K+ action potentials. In this modeling study we explored kinetic par...
متن کاملMultiple modes of N-type calcium channel activity distinguished by differences in gating kinetics.
In many neurons, N-type Ca2+ channels are a major Ca2+ entry pathway and strongly influence neurotransmitter release. We carried out cell-attached patch recordings (110 mM Ba2+ as charge carrier) to characterize the rapid opening and closing kinetics of N-type Ca2+ channel gating in frog sympathetic neurons. Single channels display at least three distinct patterns of gating, characterized as lo...
متن کاملPhosphorylation of the Cav3.2 T-type calcium channel directly regulates its gating properties.
Phosphorylation is a major mechanism regulating the activity of ion channels that remains poorly understood with respect to T-type calcium channels (Cav3). These channels are low voltage-activated calcium channels that play a key role in cellular excitability and various physiological functions. Their dysfunction has been linked to several neurological disorders, including absence epilepsy and ...
متن کاملGating effects of mutations in the Cav3.2 T-type calcium channel associated with childhood absence epilepsy.
Childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) is a type of generalized epilepsy observed in 2-10% of epileptic children. In a recent study by Chen et al. (Chen, Y., Lu, J., Pan, H., Zhang, Y., Wu, H., Xu, K., Liu, X., Jiang, Y., Bao, X., Yao, Z., Ding, K., Lo, W. H., Qiang, B., Chan, P., Shen, Y., and Wu, X. (2003) Ann. Neurol. 54, 239-243) 12 missense mutations were identified in the CACNA1H (Ca(v)3.2) gen...
