Receptor Ca current and Ca-gated K current in tonic electroreceptors of the marine catfish Plotosus
The tonic electroreceptors of the marine catfish Plotosus consist of a cluster of ampullae of sensory epithelia, each of which is an isolated receptor unit that is attached to the distant skin with only a long duct. The single-cell layered sensory epithelium has pear-shaped receptor cells interspersed with thin processes of supporting cells. The apical border of the receptor cells is joined to ...
متن کاملTwo Ca current components of the receptor current in the electroreceptors of the marine catfish Plotosus
In the isolated sensory epithelium of the Plotosus electroreceptor, the receptor current has been dissected into inward Ca current, ICa, and superimposed outward transient of Ca-gated K current, IK(Ca). In control saline (170 mM/liter Na), with IK(Ca) abolished by K blockers, ICa declined in two successive exponential phases with voltage-dependent time constants. Double-pulse experiments reveal...
متن کاملCa-induced K+-outward current in Paramecium tetraurelia.
Late K-outward currents upon membrane depolarization were recorded in Paramecium tetraurelia under a voltage clamp. A Ca-induced K-outward component is demonstrated by subtracting the value of the outward current in a pawn A mutant lacking functional Ca-channels (pwA500). The Ca-induced K-outward current activates slowly, reaching a peak after 100 to 1000 ms. The current then remains steady or ...
متن کاملActivity-Dependent Plasticity of the NMDA-Receptor Fractional Ca Current
Ca influx through NMDA receptors (NMDARs) triggers synaptic plasticity, gene transcription, and cytotoxicity, but little is known about the regulation of NMDA-Rs themselves. We used two-photon glutamate uncaging to activate NMDA-Rs on individual dendritic spines in rat CA1 neurons while we measured NMDAR currents at the soma and [Ca] changes in spines. Low-frequency uncaging trains induced Ca-d...
