    Description: Voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels (VDCCs) are modulators of synaptic plasticity, oscillatory behavior, and rhythmic firing in brain regions such as the hippocampus. The distribution and lateral mobility of VDCCs on CA1 hippocampal neurons have been determined with biologically active fluorescent and biotinylated derivatives of the selective probe omega-conotoxin in conjunction with circular dityndallism, digital fluorescence imaging, and photobleach recovery microscopy. On noninnervated cell bodies, VDCCs were found to be organized in multiple clusters, whereas after innervation the VDCCs were concentrated and immobilized at synaptic contact sites. On dendrites, VDCC distribution was punctate and was interrupted by extensive bare regions or abruptly terminated. More than 85% of the dendritic VDCCs were found to be immobile by fluorescence photobleach recovery. Thus, before synaptic contact, specific mechanisms target, segregate, and immobilize VDCCs to neuronal cell bodies and to specialized dendritic sites. Regulation of this distribution may be critical in determining the firing activity and integrative properties of hippocampal CA1 neurons.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Jones, O T -- Kunze, D L -- Angelides, K J -- NS01218/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- NS23575/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- NS24606/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1989 Jun 9;244(4909):1189-93.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Physiology and Molecular Biophysics, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX 77030.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2543080" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: In most studies of synaptic currents in mammalian central neurons, preparations have been used in which synaptic currents are recorded at some distance from the synapse itself. This procedure introduces problems in interpretation of the kinetics and voltage-dependent properties of the synaptic current. These problems have now been overcome by the development of a preparation in which presynaptic vesicle-containing boutons have been coisolated with the soma of individual neurons, thus providing the opportunity to study synaptic currents under conditions of both adequate voltage control and internal ionic perfusion. Spontaneous synaptic currents mediated by gamma-aminobutyric acid and excitatory amino acids were recorded from neurons isolated from a mammalian medial solitary tract nucleus. Calcium- and depolarization-dependent spontaneous currents of several to hundreds of picoamperes occurred with rapid rise times of 0.8 to 3 milliseconds and decays at least ten times as long.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Drewe, J A -- Childs, G V -- Kunze, D L -- HL36840/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Sep 30;241(4874):1810-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Physiology and Biophysics, University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston 77550.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2459774" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Notes: Abstract Using the outside-out configuration of the patch-clamp method, we studied the effect of several synthetic peptides corresponding to various segments from the N-terminal region of noxiustoxin (NTX) on single Ca2+-activated K+ (KCa) channels of small conductance obtained from cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells. These peptides induced diverse degrees of fast blockade in the endothelial KCa channel. The most effective blockers were the peptides NTX1–39 (IC50=0.5 μm) and NTX1–20 comprising the first 20 amino acids from the native toxin (IC50 ≈ 5 μm), while less effective was the hexapeptide NTX1–6, from the first six amino acid residues of NTX (IC50 = 500 μm). This was the minimum sequence required to block the channel. By testing overlapping sequences from the entire molecule, specially those corresponding to the N-terminal region of NTX, we have been able to determine their different apparent affinities for the KCa channel. Synthetic peptides from the C-terminal region produced no effect on the KCa channel at the concentrations tested (up to 1 mm). These results confirm that in the N-terminal region of the NTX is located part of the sequence that may recognize K+ channels, as we have suggested previously from in vivo experiments. The blockade induced by native NTX was poorly affected by changes in membrane potential; however, the blockage induced by synthetic peptides lacking the C-terminal region was partially released by depolarization.
