Voltage-dependent L-type Ca2+ channels select for Ca2+ and other divalent cations by high-affinity Ca2+ binding and ion-ion interactions in the permeation pathway. We have recently identified a series of highly conserved glutamate residues, located within the SS2 segments of each of the four repeats of the human heart Ca2+ channel alpha 1 subunit, as major determinants of ion selectivity of the...
The large-conductance Ca2+-activated voltage-dependent K+ channel (maxi-K channel) induces a significant repolarizing current that buffers cell excitability. This channel can derive its diversity by alternative splicing of its transcript-producing isoforms that differ in their sensitivity to voltage and intracellular Ca2+. We have identified a novel 132-bp exon of the maxi-K channel from human ...
The mechanisms underlying the activation of large conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BK) channel by nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) were examined in human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells, where BK channel alpha (BKalpha) or a plus beta1 subunit (BKalphabeta1) was heterologously expressed, and also in freshly isolated porcine coronary arterial smooth muscle cells (PCASMCs). The activity of both BKa...
The conduction properties of the alkaline earth divalent cations were determined in the purified sheep cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum ryanodine receptor channel after reconstitution into planar phospholipid bilayers. Under bi-ionic conditions there was little difference in permeability among Ba2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, and Mg2+. However, there was a significant difference between the divalent cations and...
Using the whole cell patch-clamp technique, a Ca2+-activated Cl- conductance (CaCC) was transiently activated by extracellular ATP (100 microM) in primary cultures of mouse inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells and in the mouse IMCD-K2 cell line. ATP also transiently increased intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) from 100 nM to peak values of approximately 750 nM in mIMCD-K2 cells,...
Intracellular recordings and organic and inorganic Ca2+ channel blockers were used in a neocortical brain slice preparation to test whether high-voltage-activated (HVA) Ca2+ channels are differentially coupled to Ca2+-dependent afterhyperpolarizations (AHPs) in sensorimotor neocortical pyramidal neurons. For the most part, spike repolarization was not Ca2+ dependent in these cells, although the...
Contribution of Ca2+-influx via the slow channel to generation of the transient inward current in guinea-pig ventricular muscles was studied using a single sucrose gap voltage clamp technique. The transient inward current (TI) was induced from superfusion of the preparations with the low-K+ (0 mM), high-Ca2+ (3.6 mM) solution. Application of 2 mM-CO2+ quickly and reversibly suppressed the TI am...
Caenorhabditis elegans is a powerful model system widely used to investigate the relationships between genes and complex behaviors like locomotion. However, physiological studies at the cellular level have been restricted by the difficulty to dissect this microscopic animal. Thus, little is known about the properties of body wall muscle cells used for locomotion. Using in situ patch clamp techn...
Mitochondria regulate intracellular calcium (Ca2+) signals in smooth muscle cells, but mechanisms mediating these effects, and the functional relevance, are poorly understood. Similarly, antihypertensive ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel openers (KCOs) activate plasma membrane KATP channels and depolarize mitochondria in several cell types, but the contribution of each of these mechanisms ...
The possible involvement of a GTP-binding protein in the regulation of Ca2' channels by angiotensin II (Ang II) in vascular muscle cells was investigated by the whole-cell voltage-clamp method. Single cells were freshly isolated from guinea pig portal vein. The pipette solution contained high Cs4 to inhibit K4 currents and thereby isolate the Ca2+ channel current. Ba24 (2 mM) was in the bath so...
