Voltage-dependent Dynamic FRET Signals from the Transverse Tubules in Mammalian Skeletal Muscle Fibers
Two hybrid voltage-sensing systems based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) were used to record membrane potential changes in the transverse tubular system (TTS) and surface membranes of adult mice skeletal muscle fibers. Farnesylated EGFP or ECFP (EGFP-F and ECFP-F) were used as immobile FRET donors, and either non-fluorescent (dipicrylamine [DPA]) or fluorescent (oxonol dye DiBA...
متن کاملVoltage-dependent calcium channels.
Voltage-activated calcium channels can be divided into two subgroups based on their activation threshold, low-voltage-activated (LVA) and high-voltage-activated (HVA). Auxiliary subunits of the HVA calcium channels contribute significantly to biophysical properties of the channels. We have cloned and characterized members of two families of auxiliary subunits: alpha2delta and gamma. Two new alp...
متن کاملMechanism of voltage-dependent gating in skeletal muscle chloride channels.
Voltage-dependent gating was investigated in a recombinant human skeletal muscle Cl- channel, hCIC-1, heterologously expressed in human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) cells. Gating was found to be mediated by two qualitatively distinct processes. One gating step operates on a microsecond time scale and involves the rapid rearrangement of two identical intramembranous voltage sensors, each consistin...
متن کاملDysferlin at transverse tubules regulates Ca2+ homeostasis in skeletal muscle
The class of muscular dystrophies linked to the genetic ablation or mutation of dysferlin, including Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy 2B (LGMD2B) and Miyoshi Myopathy (MM), are late-onset degenerative diseases. In lieu of a genetic cure, treatments to prevent or slow the progression of dysferlinopathy are of the utmost importance. Recent advances in the study of dysferlinopathy have highlighted t...
متن کاملSodium/calcium exchange in amphibian skeletal muscle fibers and isolated transverse tubules.
The Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger participates in Ca(2+) homeostasis in a variety of cells and has a key role in cardiac muscle physiology. We studied in this work the exchanger of amphibian skeletal muscle, using both isolated inside-out transverse tubule vesicles and single muscle fibers. In vesicles, increasing extravesicular (intracellular) Na(+) concentration cooperatively stimulated Ca(2+) efflu...
