We predict that the type 2 ryanodine receptor isoform (RyR-2) located in the osteoclastic membrane functions as a Ca2+ influx channel and as a divalent cation (Ca2+) sensor. Cytosolic Ca2+ measurements revealed Ca2+ influx in osteoclasts at depolarized membrane potentials. The cytosolic Ca2+ change was, as expected, not seen in Ca2+-free medium and was blocked by the RyR modulator ryanodine. In contrast, at basal membrane potentials (∼25 mV) ryanodine triggered extracellular Ca2+ influx that was blocked by Ni2+. In parallel, single-channel recordings obtained from inside-out excised patches revealed a divalent cation-selective ∼60-pS conductance in symmetric solutions of Ba-aspartate [Ba-Asp; reversal potential ( E rev) ∼0 mV]. In the presence of a Ba2+ gradient, i.e., with Ba-Asp in the pipette and Na-Asp in the bath, channel conductance increased to ∼120 pS and E rev shifted to 21 mV. The conductance was tentatively classified as a RyR-gated Ca2+ channel as it displayed characteristic metastable states and was sensitive to ruthenium red and a specific anti-RyR antibody, Ab34. To demonstrate that extracellular Ca2+ sensing occurred at the osteoclastic surface rather than intracellularly, we performed protease protection assays using pronase. Preincubation with pronase resulted in markedly attenuated cytosolic Ca2+ signals triggered by either Ni2+(5 mM) or Cd2+ (50 μM). Finally, intracellular application of antiserum Ab34 potently inhibited divalent cation sensing. Together, these results strongly suggest the existence of 1) a membrane-resident Ca2+ influx channel sensitive to RyR modulators; 2) an extracellular, as opposed to intracellular, divalent cation activation site; and 3) a cytosolic CaM-binding regulatory site for RyR. It is likely therefore that the surface RyR-2 not only gates Ca2+ influx but also functions as a sensor for extracellular divalent cations.

Conduction Properties

The conduction properties of inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate (InsP3)-gated calcium (Ca) channels (InsP3R) from canine cerebellum for divalent cations and the regulation of the channels by intraluminal Ca were studied using channels reconstituted into planar lipid bilayers. Analysis of single-channel recordings performed with different divalent cations present at 55 mM on the trans (intraluminal) side of the membrane revealed that the current amplitude at 0 mV and the single-channel slope conductance fell in the sequence: Ba (2.2 pA, 85 pS) > Sr (2.0 pA, 77 pS) > Ca (1.4 pA, 53 pS) > Mg (1.1 pA, 42 pS). The mean open time of the InsP3R recorded with Ca (2.9 ms) was significantly shorter than with other divalent cations (approximately 5.5 ms). The "anomalous mole fraction effect" was not observed in mixtures of divalent cations (Mg and Ba), suggesting that these channels are single-ion pores. Measurements of InsP3R activity at different intraluminal Ca levels demonstrated that Ca in the submillimolar range did not potentiate channel activity, and that very high levels of intraluminal Ca (> or = 10 mM) decreased channel open probability 5-10-fold. When InsP3R were measured with Ba as a current carrier in the presence of 110 mM cis potassium, a PBa/PK of 6.3 was estimated from the extrapolated value for the reversal potential. When the unitary current through the InsP3R at 0 mV was measured as a function of the permeant ion (Ba) concentration, the half-maximal current occurred at 10 mM trans Ba. The following conclusions are drawn from these data: (a) the conduction properties of InsP3R are similar to the properties of the ryanodine receptor, another intracellular Ca channel, and differ dramatically from the properties of voltage-gated Ca channels of the plasma membrane. (b) The estimated size of the Ca current through the InsP3R under physiological conditions is 0.5 pA, approximately four times less than the Ca current through the ryanodine receptor. (c) The potentiation of InsP3R by intraluminal Ca in the submillimolar range remains controversial. (d) A quantitative model that explains the inhibitory effects of high trans Ca on InsP3R activity was developed and the kinetic parameters of InsP3R gating were determined.

Electron-microscopic analysis was used to show that invertebrate muscle has feetlike structures on the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) displaying the typical four-subunit appearance of the calcium (Ca2+) release channel/ryanodine receptor (RyR) observed in vertebrate skeletal muscle (K. E. Loesser, L. Castellani, and C. Franzini-Armstrong. J. Muscle Res. Cell Motil. 13: 161–173, 1992). SR vesicles from invertebrate muscle exhibited specific ryanodine binding and single channel currents that were activated by Ca2+, caffeine, and ATP and inhibited by ruthenium red. The single channel conductance of this invertebrate RyR was lower than that of the vertebrate RyR (49 and 102 pS, respectively). Activation of lobster and scallop SR Ca2+ release channel, in response to cytoplasmic Ca2+ (1 nM–10 mM), reflected a bell-shaped curve, as is found with the mammalian RyR. In contrast to a previous report (J.-H. Seok, L. Xu, N. R. Kramarcy, R. Sealock, and G. Meissner. J. Biol. Chem. 267: 15893–15901, 1992), our results show that regulation of the invertebrate and vertebrate RyRs is quite similar and suggest remarkably similar paths in these diverse organisms.

Calcium is a universal second messenger. The temporal and spatial information that is encoded in Ca2+-transients drives processes as diverse as neurotransmitter secretion, axonal outgrowth, immune responses and muscle contraction. Ca2+-release from intracellular Ca2+ stores can be triggered by diffusible second messengers like InsP3, cyclic ADP-ribose or nicotinic acid—adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP). A target has not yet been identified for the latter messenger. In the present study we show that nanomolar concentrations of NAADP trigger Ca2+-release from skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum. This was due to a direct action on the Ca2+-release channel/ryanodine receptor type-1, since in single channel recordings, NAADP increased the open probability of the purified channel protein. The effects of NAADP on Ca2+-release and open probability of the ryanodine receptor occurred over a similar concentration range (EC5030nM) and were specific because (i) they were blocked by Ruthenium Red and ryanodine, (ii) the precursor of NAADP, NADP, was ineffective at equimolar concentrations, (iii) NAADP did not affect the conductance and reversal potential of the ryanodine receptor. Finally, we also detected an ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity in the sarcoplasmic reticulum fraction of skeletal muscle. This enzyme was not only capable of synthesizing cyclic GDP-ribose but also NAADP, with an activity of 0.25nmol/mg/min. Thus, we conclude that NAADP is generated in the vicinity of type 1 ryanodine receptor and leads to activation of this ion channel.

Modification of the ryanodine receptor (RyR)/Ca2+ release channel with 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB) indicated that two classes of amino group interact with the reagent, as can be distinguished on the basis of their reactivity/accessibility and the effects on ryanodine binding and single channel activities. One group interacted very rapidly (t½ < 30 s) at 25 °C with low concentrations of DNFB [C50 (concentration of DNFB required for 50% inhibition or stimulation of ryanodine binding) = 5 μM], and at pH values of 6.2 and higher. This interaction resulted in the marked stimulation of ryanodine binding and the complete inhibition of a single Ca2+ release channel incorporated into planar lipid bilayer. The second group is accessible at higher temperatures (37 °C); at pH values higher than 7.4 it reacted slowly (t½ = 20 min) with high concentrations of DNFB (C50 = 70 μM). This interaction led to the inhibition of ryanodine binding and single channel activity. Modification of RyR with DNFB under the stimulatory conditions resulted in 3.6-fold and 6-fold increases in ryanodine-binding and Ca2+-binding affinities respectively. Modification with DNFB under the inhibitory conditions resulted in a decrease in the total ryanodine-binding sites. The exposure of the RyR single channel to DNFB under both inhibitory and stimulatory conditions led to the complete closure of the channel. However, when modified under the stimulatory conditions, but not under the inhibitory ones, the DNFB-modified closed channel could be re-activated by sub-micromolar concentrations of ryanodine, in the presence of nanomolar concentrations of Ca2+. The DNFB-modified ryanodine-activated RyR channel showed fast transitions between open, closed and several sub-conductance states, and was completely closed by Ruthenium Red. ATP re-activated the DNFB-modified closed channel or, if present during modification, prevented the inhibition of RyR channel activity by DNFB. Neither the stimulation nor the inhibition of ryanodine binding by modification with DNFB was affected by the presence of ATP. By using the photoreactive ATP analogue 3′-O-(4-benzoyl)benzoyl-[α-32P]ATP we found that DNFB modification had no effect on the ATP-binding site of RyR. The results are discussed with regard to the involvement of amino group residues in channel gating, ryanodine association/dissociation and occlusion, and the relationship between the open/closed state of the RyR and its capacity to bind ryanodine.

Tight-seal recording was employed to investigate membrane currents in hyperpolarizing ciliary photoreceptors enzymatically isolated from the eyes of the file clam (Lima scabra) and the bay scallop (Pecten irradians). These two organisms are unusual in that their double retinas also possess a layer of depolarizing rhabdomeric cells. Ciliary photoreceptors from Lima have a rounded soma, 15-20 microns diam, and display a prominent bundle of fine processes up to 30 microns long. The cell body of scallop cells is similar in size, but the ciliary appendages are modified, forming small spherical structures that protrude from the cell. In both species light stimulation at a voltage near the resting potential gives rise to a graded outward current several hundred pA in amplitude, accompanied by an increase in membrane conductance. The reversal potential of the photocurrent is approximately -80 mV, and shifts in the positive direction by approximately 39 mV when the concentration of extracellular K is increased from 10 to 50 mM, consistent with the notion that light activates K-selective channels. The light-activated conductance increases with depolarization in the physiological range of membrane voltages (-30 to -70 mV). Such outward rectification is greatly reduced after removal of divalent cations from the superfusate. In Pecten, cell-attached recordings were also obtained; in some patches outwardly directed single-channel currents could be activated by light but not by voltage. The unitary conductance of these channels was approximately 26 pS. Solitary ciliary cells also gave evidence of the post stimulus rebound, which is presumably responsible for initiating the "off" discharge of action potentials at the termination of a light stimulus: in patches containing only voltage-dependent channels, light stimulation suppressed depolarization-induced activity, and was followed by a strong burst of openings, directly related to the intensity of the preceding photostimulation.

The cardiac type 2 ryanodine receptor (RYR2) is activated by Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR). The inherent positive feedback of CICR is well controlled in cells, but the nature of this control is debated. Here, we explore how the Ca2+ flux (lumen-to-cytosol) carried by an open RYR2 channel influences its own cytosolic Ca2+ regulatory sites as well as those on a neighboring channel. Both flux-dependent activation and inhibition of single channels were detected when there were super-physiological Ca2+ fluxes (&gt;3 pA). Single-channel results indicate a pore inhibition site distance of 1.2 ± 0.16 nm and that the activation site on an open channel is shielded/protected from its own flux. Our results indicate that the Ca2+ flux mediated by an open RYR2 channel in cells (∼0.5 pA) is too small to substantially regulate (activate or inhibit) the channel carrying it, even though it is sufficient to activate a neighboring RYR2 channel.

Cnga1 Channels

Cyclic nucleotide–gated (CNG) channels have been shown to be blocked by diltiazem, tetracaine, polyamines, toxins, divalent cations, and other compounds. Dequalinium is an organic divalent cation which suppresses the rat small conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel 2 (rSK2) and the activity of protein kinase C. In this study, we have tested the ability of dequalinium to block CNGA1 channels and heteromeric CNGA1+CNGB1 channels. When applied to the intracellular side of inside-out excised patches from Xenopus oocytes, dequalinium blocks CNGA1 channels with a K1/2 ≈ 190 nM and CNGA1+CNGB1 channels with a K1/2 ≈ 385 nM, at 0 mV. This block occurs in a state-independent fashion, and is voltage dependent with a zδ ≈ 1. Our data also demonstrate that dequalinium interacts with the permeant ion probably because it occupies a binding site in the ion conducting pathway. Dequalinium applied to the extracellular surface also produced block, but with a voltage dependence that suggests it crosses the membrane to block from the inside. We also show that at the single-channel level, dequalinium is a slow blocker that does not change the unitary conductance of CNGA1 channels. Thus, dequalinium should be a useful tool for studying permeation and gating properties of CNG channels.

Large losses of amino acids by diffusion were previously observed in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells during volume regulation. Also, an outward rectifying anion channel was activated. Because this channel was not selective among anions, it was suggested that it could be permeable to amino acids. Its permeability to aspartate, glutamate, and taurine was studied using the patch-clamp technique in the inside-out configuration. Solutions containing 500 mM aspartate or glutamate were used on the cytoplasmic side of excised patches to detect single-channel currents carried by these anions. Permeability ratios were estimated in two different ways: 1) from the shift in reversal potential of current-voltage curves after anion replacement in the bath solution and 2) from comparisons of amplitudes of single-channel currents carried by tested anions and chloride, respectively. The values of aspartate-to-chloride and glutamate-to-chloride permeability ratios obtained with both methods were quite consistent and were of the order of 0.2 for both amino acids. Taurine in solutions at physiological pH 7.3 is a zwitterionic molecule and bears no net charge. To detect single-channel currents carried by taurine, solutions containing 500 mM taurine at pH 8.2 were used in inside-out experiments. Under these conditions 120 mM of negatively charged taurine was present in the solutions bathing the cytoplasmic side of excised patches. The permeability ratio estimated from the shift in reversal potential was 0.75. These results showed that some of the organic compounds released by cells during regulatory volume decrease could diffuse through this outwardly rectifying anionic channel.

The ability of acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) to discriminate among cations was assessed based on changes in conductance and reversal potential with ion substitution. Human ASIC1a was expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes, and acid-induced currents were measured using two-electrode voltage clamp. Replacement of extracellular Na+ with Li+, K+, Rb+, or Cs+ altered inward conductance and shifted the reversal potentials consistent with a selectivity sequence of Li ∼ Na &gt; K &gt; Rb &gt; Cs. Permeability decreased more rapidly than conductance as a function of atomic size, with PK/PNa = 0.1 and GK/GNa = 0.7 and PRb/PNa = 0.03 and GRb/GNa = 0.3. Stimulation of Cl− currents when Na+ was replaced with Ca2+, Sr2+, or Ba2+ indicated a finite permeability to divalent cations. Inward conductance increased with extracellular Na+ in a hyperbolic manner, consistent with an apparent affinity (Km) for Na+ conduction of 25 mM. Nitrogen-containing cations, including NH4+, NH3OH+, and guanidinium, were also permeant. In addition to passing through the channels, guanidinium blocked Na+ currents, implying competition for a site within the pore. The role of negative charges in an external vestibule of the pore was evaluated using the point mutation D434N. The mutant channel had a decreased single-channel conductance, measured in excised outside-out patches, and a macroscopic slope conductance that increased with hyperpolarization. It had a weakened interaction with Na+ (Km = 72 mM) and a selectivity that was shifted toward larger atomic sizes. We conclude that the selectivity of ASIC1 is based at least in part on interactions with binding sites both within and internal to the outer vestibule.

Patch-clamp techniques were used to study isolated renal cortical collecting ducts of rabbits. Gigaohm seals of the native apical membranes of the principal cells were obtained from tissues superfused with a Ringer solution. No enzymatic or other pretreatment of the tissues was required. The patches studied were primarily of the on-cell type, although excised patches could be obtained. Unitary currents in a range of tenths of picoamperes were observed at holding voltages between +/- 100 mV. Since the apparent reversal potential was at a holding voltage at or near 0 eatment of the tissues was required.

Unitary currents in a range of tenths of picoamperes were observed at holding voltages between +/- 100 mV. Since the apparent reversal potential was at a holding voltage at or near 0 mV and since the current-voltage relationship was markedly nonlinear, the unitary currents are most likely due to K+ . Na+-channel current fluctuations, if present, could not be uniquely identified in the presence or absence of amiloride.
