Reversible Ca Gradients between the Subplasmalemma and Cytosol Differentially Activate Ca-dependent Cl Currents
Xenopus oocytes express several different Ca-activated Cl currents that have different waveforms and biophysical properties. We compared the stimulation of Ca-activated Cl currents measured by two-microelectrode voltage clamp with the Ca transients measured in the same cell by confocal microscopy and Ca-sensitive fluorophores. The purpose was to determine how the amplitude and/or spatio-tempora...
متن کاملCa/calmodulin kinase II differentially modulates potassium currents.
BACKGROUND Potassium currents contribute to action potential duration (APD) and arrhythmogenesis. In heart failure, Ca/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is upregulated and can alter ion channel regulation and expression. METHODS AND RESULTS We examine the influence of overexpressing cytoplasmic CaMKIIdelta(C), both acutely in rabbit ventricular myocytes (24-hour adenoviral gene ...
متن کاملCa(2+)-dependent activation of Cl(-) currents in Xenopus oocytes is modulated by voltage.
Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) currents (I(Cl,Ca)) were examined using fluorescence confocal microscopy to monitor intracellular Ca(2+) liberation evoked by flash photolysis of caged inositol 1,4, 5-trisphosphate (InsP(3)) in voltage-clamped Xenopus oocytes. Currents at +40 mV exhibited a steep dependence on InsP(3) concentration ([InsP(3)]), whereas currents at -140 mV exhibited a higher threshold and...
متن کاملActivation of different Cl currents in Xenopus oocytes by Ca liberated from stores and by capacitative Ca influx
Xenopus oocytes are an excellent model system for studying Ca signaling. The purpose of this study was to characterize in detail the Ca-activated Cl currents evoked by injection of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) into Xenopus oocytes voltage-clamped with two microelectrodes. Injection of IP3 into Xenopus oocytes activates two different Ca-activated Cl currents. ICl-1 is stimulated rapidly (w...
متن کاملIncreased Ca buffering enhances Ca-dependent process
The title for this Perspectives article must have a misprint – surely, it should say, ‘Increased Ca buffering diminishes Ca-dependent process’. In fact, the title is correct, as shown in the startling results reported in a remarkable study appearing in this issue of The Journal of Physiology (Rozov et al. 2001). The venerable Neher and Sakmann team has rejoined forces, combining the talents of ...
