Regulation by second messengers of the slowly activating, voltage-dependent potassium current expressed in Xenopus oocytes.
Busch AE, Kavanaugh MP, Varnum MD, Adelman JP, North RA.
???displayArticle.abstract???
1. Voltage-clamp recordings of membrane current were made from Xenopus oocytes that had been injected with RNA which had been transcribed in vitro from a cloned complementary DNA. 2. Depolarization from -80 mV evoked outward potassium currents that developed very slowly. At -20 mV the time constant for activation was about 50 s, and at +40 mV about 6 s. 3. The potassium current was increased by the calcium ionophore A23187 or by intracellular injection of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), each of which should increase the intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i). The current was decreased by injection of BAPTA (1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid). The current was also reduced by phorbol esters; this effect was blocked by staurosporine. 4. In oocytes that had also been injected with RNA encoding the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT2) receptor, 5-HT increased the potassium current. After caffeine pretreatment, to block the release of intracellular calcium, 5-HT decreased the current; this decrease was prevented by staurosporine. 5. It is concluded that the slowly activating, voltage-dependent potassium current expressed in Xenopus oocytes is increased by increases in [Ca2+]i and is decreased by activation of protein kinase C. Stimulation of 5-HT2 receptors can have both these effects, but the former normally predominates.
