Modeling state-dependent inactivation of membrane currents.
Inactivation of many ion channels occurs through largely voltage-independent transitions to an inactivated state from the open state or from other states in the pathway leading to opening of the channel. Because this form of inactivation is state-dependent rather than voltage-dependent, it cannot be described by the standard Hodgkin-Huxley formalism used in virtually all modeling studies of neu...
متن کاملEvidence for voltage-dependent inactivation of slow currents through calcium channels in frog muscle membrane.
Two mechanisms of inactivation of slow inward current through calcium channels in frog skeletal muscle have been described: voltage dependent inactivation similar to that of classical sodium channels (Cota et al. 1982, 1984; Stanfield 1977); and calcium ions depletion inside the T-tubules as a result of inward current flowing through the T-membrane. In the latter case the inactivation is curren...
متن کاملState-dependent inactivation of K+ currents in rat type II alveolar epithelial cells
Inactivation of K+ channels responsible for delayed rectification in rat type II alveolar epithelial cells was studied in Ringer, 160 mM K-Ringer, and 20 mM Ca-Ringer. Inactivation is slower and less complete when the extracellular K+ concentration is increased from 4.5 to 160 mM. Inactivation is faster and more complete when the extracellular Ca2+ concentration is increased from 2 to 20 mM. Se...
متن کاملAdaptive response by state-dependent inactivation.
Many membrane channels and receptors exhibit adaptive, or desensitized, response to a strong sustained input stimulus. A key mechanism that underlies this response is the slow, activity-dependent removal of responding molecules to a pool which is unavailable to respond immediately to the input. This mechanism is implemented in different ways in various biological systems and has traditionally b...
متن کاملCalcium currents in the A7r5 smooth muscle-derived cell line. Calcium- dependent and voltage-dependent inactivation
Inactivation of a dihydropyridine-sensitive calcium current was studied in a cell line (A7r5) derived from smooth muscle of the rat thoracic aorta. Inactivation is faster with extracellular Ca2+ than with Ba2+. In Ba2+, inactivation increases monotonically with depolarization. In Ca2+, inactivation is related to the amount of inward current, so that little inactivation is seen in Ca2+ for brief...
