Sodium Flux Ratio in Na/K Pump-Channels Opened by Palytoxin
Palytoxin binds to Na(+)/K(+) pumps in the plasma membrane of animal cells and opens an electrodiffusive cation pathway through the pumps. We investigated properties of the palytoxin-opened channels by recording macroscopic and microscopic currents in cell bodies of neurons from the giant fiber lobe, and by simultaneously measuring net current and (22)Na(+) efflux in voltage-clamped, internally...
متن کاملLarge Diameter of Palytoxin-induced Na/K Pump Channels and Modulation of Palytoxin Interaction by Na/K Pump Ligands
Palytoxin binds to Na/K pumps to generate nonselective cation channels whose pore likely comprises at least part of the pump's ion translocation pathway. We systematically analyzed palytoxin's interactions with native human Na/K pumps in outside-out patches from HEK293 cells over a broad range of ionic and nucleotide conditions, and with or without cardiotonic steroids. With 5 mM internal (pipe...
متن کاملPalytoxin Inhibits the Sodium-Potassium Pump - An Investigation of an Electrophysiological Model Using Probabilistic Model Checking
Automatic veri cation techniques such as Probabilistic Model Checking (PMC) have been successfully applied in the speci cation and analysis of stochastic systems. Some biological systems show these characteristics, allowing PMC usage in unexpected elds. We present and analyze a probabilistic model for palytoxin toxin (PTX) e ects on cell transport systems, structures which exchange ions across ...
متن کاملNa+/K+-pump ligands modulate gating of palytoxin-induced ion channels.
The Na+/K+ pump is a ubiquitous P-type ATPase that binds three cytoplasmic Na+ ions deep within its core where they are temporarily occluded before being released to the extracellular surface. The 3Na+/2K+ -exchange transport cycle is completed when two extracellular K+ ions bind and become temporarily occluded within the protein and subsequently released to the cytoplasm. Coupling of Na+ -ion ...
متن کاملSodium flux ratio in voltage-clamped squid giant axons
The sodium flux ratio across the axolemma of internally perfused, voltage-clamped giant axons of Loligo pealei has been measured at various membrane potentials. The flux ratio exponent obtained from these measurements was about unity and independent of membrane voltage over the 50 mV range from about -20 to ł mV. These results, combined with previous measurements of ion permeation through sodiu...
