摘要

We have studied voltage-dependent inhibition of N-type calcium currents to investigate the effects of G-protein modulation-induced alterations in channel gating on action potential-evoked calcium current. In isolated chick ciliary ganglion neurons, GTPgammaS produced voltage-dependent inhibition that exhibited slowed activation kinetics and was partially relieved by a conditioning prepulse. Using step depolarizations to evoke calcium current, we measured tail current amplitudes on abrupt repolarization to estimate the time course of calcium channel activation from 1 to 30 ms. GTPgammaS prolonged significantly channel activation, consistent with the presence of kinetic slowing in the modulated whole cell current evoked by 100-ms steps. Since kinetic slowing is caused by an altered voltage dependence of channel activation (such that channels require stronger or longer duration depolarization to open), we asked if GTPgammaS-induced modulation would alter the time course of calcium channel activation during an action potential. Using an action potential waveform as a voltage command to evoke calcium current, we abruptly repolarized to -80 mV at various time points during the repolarization phase of the action potential. The resulting tail current was used to estimate the relative number of calcium channels that were open. Using action potential waveforms of either 2.2- or 6-ms duration at half-amplitude, there were no differences in the time course of calcium channel activation, or in the percent activation at any time point tested during the repolarization, when control and modulated currents were compared. It is also possible that modulated channels might open briefly and that these reluctant openings would effect the time course of action potential-evoked calcium current. However, when control and modulated currents were scaled to the same peak amplitude and superimposed, there was no difference in the kinetics of the two currents. Thus voltage-dependent inhibition did not alter the kinetics of action potential-evoked current. These results suggest that G-protein-modulated channels do not contribute significantly to calcium current evoked by a single action potential.
