چکیده
Na+-gated nonselective cation channel from lobster olfactory projection neurons. J. Neurophysiol. 80: 3387-3391, 1998. A nonselective cation channel specifically activated by intracellular Na+ was identified in cell-free patches taken from cultured lobster olfactory projection neurons. Na+ reversibly activates the channel in a concentration-dependent manner, with a "half-effect" Na+ concentration of 76.4 mM at -60 mV. The conductance of the channel is 32 pS. The channel is permeable to both alkali metal (Li+ > Na+ > K+ > Rb+ > Cs+) and divalent (Ca2+ > Mn2+ > Sr2+ > Mg2+ > Ba2+ > Na+) cations. The presence of a channel with the ability to generate plateau potentials suggests that the channel may potentially contribute to oscillatory behavior in these olfactory interneurons.

Pharmacological properties and functional role of a TRP-related ion channel in lobster olfactory receptor neurons.
Odors activate lobster olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) through phosphoinositide signaling that appears to target a Na(+)-gated nonselective cation channel. The Na(+)-gated channel is a potential member of the growing family of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels. Here, we test the effect of potential antagonists on the channel in cell-free patches from cultured lobster ORNs. We show t...

متن کاملSodium-gated cation channel implicated in the activation of lobster olfactory receptor neurons.
The role of Na+-activated channels in cellular function, if any, is still elusive. We have attempted to implicate a Na+-activated nonselective cation channel in the activation of lobster olfactory receptor neurons. We show that a Na+-activated channel occurs in the odor-detecting outer dendrites. With the use of pharmacological blockers of the channel together with ion substitution, we show tha...
متن کاملThe Na+/Ca2+ exchanger inhibitor, KB-R7943, blocks a nonselective cation channel implicated in chemosensory transduction.
The mechanism(s) of olfactory transduction in invertebrates remains to be fully understood. In lobster olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs), a nonselective sodium-gated cation (SGC) channel, a presumptive transient receptor potential (TRP)C channel homolog, plays a crucial role in olfactory transduction, at least in part by amplifying the primary transduction current. To better determine the funct...
متن کاملCalcium sensitivity of a sodium-activated nonselective cation channel in lobster olfactory receptor neurons.
We report that a Na+-activated nonselective cation channel described previously in lobster olfactory neurons, in which phosphoinositide signaling mediates olfactory transduction, can also be activated by Ca2+. Ca2+ activates the channel in the presence of Na+, increasing the open probability of the channel with a K1/2 of 490 nM and a Hill coefficient of 1.3. Ca2+ also increases the sensitivity ...
