Single ion-channel current measurements from rat brain synaptosomes in planar lipid bilayers.
Because of their small size and inaccessibility, direct electrical measurements of ionic conductances from mammalian brain presynaptic nerve terminals have not been possible. Measurements using voltage-sensitive fluorescent dyes, however, indicate that the membrane potential of a preparation enriched in pinched-off and resealed presynaptic nerve terminals (synaptosomes) depends principally on K...
متن کاملA chloride channel from lobster walking leg nerves. Characterization of single-channel properties in planar bilayers
A novel, small conductance of Cl- channel was characterized by incorporation into planar bilayers from a plasma membrane preparation of lobster walking leg nerves. Under conditions of symmetrical 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, single Cl- channels exhibit rectifying current-voltage (I-V) behavior with a conductance of 19.2 +/- 0.8 pS at positive voltages and 15.1 +/- 1.6 pS in the voltage ...
متن کاملSingle-channel electrophysiology of cell-free expressed ion channels by direct incorporation in lipid bilayers.
Single-channel electrophysiology with lipid bilayer systems requires ion channel expression, purification from cell culture, and reconstitution in proteoliposomes for delivery to a planar bilayer. Here we demonstrate that single-channel current measurements of the potassium channels KcsA and hERGS5-S6 can be obtained by direct insertion in interdroplet lipid bilayers from microliters of a cell-...
متن کاملAcetylcholine receptor in planar lipid bilayers. Characterization of the channel properties of the purified nicotinic acetylcholine receptor from Torpedo californica reconstituted in planar lipid bilayers
The properties of the channel of the purified acetylcholine receptor (AChR) were investigated after reconstitution in planar lipid bilayers. The time course of the agonist-induced conductance exhibits a transient peak that relaxes to a steady state value. The macroscopic steady state membrane conductance increases with agonist concentration, reaching saturation at 10(-5) M for carbamylcholine (...
متن کاملEnhanced Long-Term Stability for Single Ion Channel Recordings Using Suspended Poly(lipid) Bilayers
Black lipid membranes (BLMs) are widely used for recording the activity of incorporated ion channel proteins. However, BLMs are inherently unstable structures that typically rupture within a few hours after formation. Here, stabilized BLMs were formed using the polymerizable lipid bis-dienoyl phosphatidylcholine (bis-DenPC) on glass pipettes of approximately 10 microm (I.D.). After polymerizati...
