Characterization of single non-inactivating potassium channels in primary neuronal cultures of Drosophila.
Permeability and gating properties of single, non-inactivating, K+ channel currents in cultured Drosophila neurons were studied using the gigaohm-seal patch-clamp technique. The non-inactivating K+ currents were activated by depolarizing the membrane to -30 mV or to more positive potentials. The slope conductance of the channel was estimated to be 17.6 +/- 3.70 pS when the cytoplasmic side of t...
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 کاملExtrasynaptic localization of inactivating calcium-activated potassium channels in mouse inner hair cells.
Auditory hair cells from nonmammalian vertebrates are electrically tuned to specific sound frequencies primarily by the interactions of voltage-gated calcium channels and calcium-activated potassium (BK) channels colocalized at synaptic active zones. Mammalian inner hair cells are not electrically tuned and, yet, BK channels are also thought to reside at active zones. Using patch-clamp recordin...
متن کاملSingle non-inactivating K+ channels in the myotubes of the chick embryo in tissue culture.
Single-channel K+ currents were studied in the myotubes from the chick embryo grown in tissue culture for 4--9 days by employing the patch clamp technique. The "cell attached" configuration was used and the pipette was filled with a solution containing 3 mmol.l-1 K+. The channels exhibited a high conductance of approximately 90 pS and the probability of finding them open increased by an e-fold ...
متن کاملRibosome-inactivating proteins.
The main results of the research performed in the last 30 years on ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are reviewed, with emphasis on the new, controversial and uncertain aspects. The nature, distribution, mechanism of action and properties of these proteins are briefly reported, together with their possible applications. A pattern appears of a still largely unexplored subject, whose role in ...
