An evidence for a potassium channel in endoplasmic reticulum based on single channel recording in bilayer lipid membrane

چکیده مقاله:

Introduction Numerous studies have demonstrated the presence of potassium selective channels in membranes internal organelles. These channels are essential to a large variety of cellular processes including intracellular 2+ a signaling, protein recycling, charge neutralization and cell protection. In contrast to the sarcoplasmic reticulum + here potassium channels have been clearly identified, there is little evidence for K selective cannels in RER hepatocytes. The aim of this study is to find an evidence for presence of potassium channel in endoplasmic ticulum and considering the pharmacological and biophysical properties of this channel. Methods: Hepatocytes RER vesicles were isolated by homogenizing rat liver followed by several centrifuging eps and then incorporated into the bilayer lipid membrane (BLM). The BLM was formed by painting osphatidylcholine across the 350 ?m aperture seperating two chambers (cis chamber containing 200 mM KCl + d trans chamber containing 50 mM KCl). Single channel recordings were used to indicate the presence of K annels. Results: Single channel recordings revealed the existence of a cation selective channel with high permeability + K and 599 pS conductance. The current–voltage relation was linear. The open probability was strongly voltage pendent, showing higher values at positive voltages and lower at negative voltages. A subconductance state out 60 % of fully open state was observed at all voltages. The cationic channel showed an inhibition by 4- + innopyridine (non specific K channel blocker) + Conclusions: In this study we have established an evidence for existence of large conductance K channel in e hepatocyte ER vesicles.

Gating Behavior of Endoplasmic Reticulum Potassium Channels of Rat Hepatocytes in Diabetes

Background: Defects in endoplasmic reticulum homeostasis are common occurrences in different diseases, such as diabetes, in which the function of endoplasmic reticulum is disrupted. It is now well established that ion channels of endoplasmic reticulum membrane have a critical role in endoplasmic reticulum luminal homeostasis. Our previous studies showed the presence of an ATP-sensitive cationic...

Evidences on the existence of a new potassium channel in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) of rat hepatocytes

Introduction: we have recently reported the presence of two potassium currents with 598 and 368 pS conductance in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) membrane. The 598 pS channel was voltage dependent and ATP sensitive. However, the 368 pS channel was rarely observed and its identity remained obscure. Since cationic channels in intracellular organelles such as mitochondria and RER play imp...

Cytoplasmic acidification reduces potassium channel activities in the endoplasmic reticulum of rat hepatocytes

Introduction: Intracellular pH (pHi) regulates essentially all aspects of cellular activities. However, it is unknown how endoplasmic reticulum (ER) potassium channels sense pHi. In this study, we investigate the direct effects of pHi on ER potassium channels. Methods: We used channel incorporation into the bilayer lipid membrane method. L-α-phosphatidylcholine, a membrane lipid, was extrac...

Characterization of biophysical properties of single chloride channel in rat brain mitochondrial inner membrane by channel incorporation into bilayer lipid membrane

Introduction: Recent studies have shown the presence of Cl- channels in heart and liver mitochondrial membranes. In this work, we have characterized the functional profile of a Cl- channel from rat brain mitochondria. Methods: After removing and homogenizing the rat brain, the supernatant was separately centrifuged in MSEdigitonin, H2O and Na2CO3 and mitochondrial inner membrane vesicles wer...
