Inactivation of voltage-gated cardiac K+ channels.
Inactivation is the process by which an open channel enters a stable nonconducting conformation after a depolarizing change in membrane potential. Inactivation is a widespread property of many different types of voltage-gated ion channels. Recent advances in the molecular biology of K+ channels have elucidated two mechanistically distinct types of inactivation, N-type and C-type. N-type inactiv...
متن کاملEffects of magnesium on inactivation of the voltage-gated calcium current in cardiac myocytes
The effects of changes in intracellular and extracellular free ionized [Mg2+] on inactivation of ICa and IBa in isolated ventricular myocytes of the frog were investigated using the whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique. Intracellular [Mg2+] was varied by internal perfusion with solutions having different calculated free [Mg2+]. Increasing [Mg2+]i from 0.3 mM to 3.0 mM caused a ...
متن کاملLong-term inactivation particle for voltage-gated sodium channels.
Action potential generation is governed by the opening, inactivation, and recovery of voltage-gated sodium channels. A channel's voltage-sensing and pore-forming α subunit bears an intrinsic fast inactivation particle that mediates both onset of inactivation upon membrane depolarization and rapid recovery upon repolarization. We describe here a novel inactivation particle housed within an acces...
متن کاملSlow Inactivation Does Not Affect Movement of the Fast Inactivation Gate in Voltage-gated Na+ Channels
Voltage-gated Na+ channels exhibit two forms of inactivation, one form (fast inactivation) takes effect on the order of milliseconds and the other (slow inactivation) on the order of seconds to minutes. While previous studies have suggested that fast and slow inactivation are structurally independent gating processes, little is known about the relationship between the two. In this study, we pro...
متن کاملLocalization and trafficking of cardiac voltage-gated potassium channels.
The proper trafficking and localization of cardiac potassium channels is profoundly important to the regulation of the regionally distinct action potentials across the myocardium. These processes are only beginning to be unravelled and involve modulators of channel synthesis and assembly, post-translational processing, various molecular motors and an increasing number of modifying enzymes and m...
