Removal of sodium channel inactivation in squid axon by the oxidant chloramine-T
We have investigated the effects of a mild oxidant, chloramine-T(CT), on the sodium and potassium currents of squid axons under voltage-clamp conditions. Sodium channel inactivation of squid giant axons can be completely removed by CT at neutral pH. Internal and external CT treatment are both effective. CT apparently removes inactivation in an irreversible, all-or-none manner. The activation pr...
متن کاملRemoval of sodium channel inactivation in squid giant axons by n- bromoacetamide
The group-specific protein reagents, N-bromacetamide (NBA) and N-bromosuccinimide (NBS), modify sodium channel gating when perfused inside squid axons. The normal fast inactivation of sodium channels is irreversibly destroyed by 1 mM NBA or NBS near neutral pH. NBA apparently exhibits an all-or-none destruction of the inactivation process at the single channel level in a manner similar to inter...
متن کاملInhibition of sodium currents by local anesthetics in chloramine-T- treated squid axons. The role of channel activation
In order to test the requirement of Na channel inactivation for the action of local anesthetics, we investigated the inhibitory effects of quaternary and tertiary amine anesthetics on normally inactivating and noninactivating Na currents in squid axons under voltage clamp. Either the enzymatic mixture pronase, or chloramine-T (CT), a noncleaving, oxidizing reagent, was used to abolish Na channe...
متن کاملSlowing of sodium channel opening kinetics in squid axon by extracellular zinc
The interaction of Zn ion on Na channels was studied in squid giant axons. At a concentration of 30 mM Zn2+ slows opening kinetics of Na channels with almost no alteration of closing kinetics. The effects of Zn2+ can be expressed as a "shift" of the gating parameters along the voltage axis, i.e., the amount of additional depolarization required to overcome the Zn2+ effect. In these terms the me...
