Genetic analysis of Drosophila neurons: Shal, Shaw, and Shab encode most embryonic potassium currents.
In this study, we perform the first genetic analysis of K+ currents in Drosophila embryonic neurons revealing the identity of the currents present. Unlike muscles, where the presence of Shaker is obvious, Shaker currents are not detectable in these neurons. In contrast, we show that Shal is as important in these neuronal cell bodies as Shaker is in muscles. Only three single-channel currents we...
متن کاملLobster shal: comparison with Drosophila shal and native potassium currents in identified neurons.
The transient potassium (K+) current, or A-current (IA), plays an essential role in shaping the firing properties of identified neurons in the 14-cell pyloric network in the stomatogastric ganglion of the spiny lobster, Panulirus interruptus. The different cells in the pyloric network have distinct IAs. To begin to understand the molecular basis for IA heterogeneity, we examined the relationshi...
متن کاملThe major delayed rectifier in both Drosophila neurons and muscle is encoded by Shab.
The delayed rectifier K+ current in Drosophila is similar to the classical delayed rectifier, originally described by Hodgkin and Huxley. Drosophila provides unique tools of mutant analysis to unambiguously determine the genetic identity of this native K+ current. We identified the Shab gene as the exclusive gene underlying delayed rectifier currents in both muscle and neurons. In muscles, a ge...
متن کاملKChIP1 and frequenin modify shal-evoked potassium currents in pyloric neurons in the lobster stomatogastric ganglion.
The transient potassium current (I(A)) plays an important role in shaping the firing properties of pyloric neurons in the stomatogastric ganglion (STG) of the spiny lobster, Panulirus interruptus. The shal gene encodes I(A) in pyloric neurons. However, when we over-expressed the lobster Shal protein by shal RNA injection into the pyloric dilator (PD) neuron, the increased I(A) had somewhat diff...
متن کاملShal and shaker differential contribution to the K+ currents in the Drosophila mushroom body neurons.
Shaker, a voltage-dependent K+ channel, is enriched in the mushroom bodies (MBs), the locus of olfactory learning in Drosophila. Mutations in the shaker locus are known to alter excitability, neurotransmitter release, synaptic plasticity, and olfactory learning. However, a direct link of Shaker channels to MB intrinsic neuron (MBN) physiology has not been documented. We found that transcripts f...
