Figure 2


Fig. 2. {Delta}23 N-truncated jShak1 channels lack N-type inactivation but exhibit slow C-type inactivation. (A)The full-length wild-type jShak1 channel expressed fast opening kinetics and fast N-type inactivation in Xenopus oocytes. Outwardly directed current traces were evoked by 500 ms step depolarizations from a holding potential of –90 mV to a range of potentials from –90 to +90 mV in 10 mV increments followed by a return to –90 mV. (B)The {Delta}23 N-truncated wild-type jShak1 channel lacked N-type inactivation. Outwardly directed current traces were evoked by 400 ms step depolarizations from a holding potential of –90 mV to a range of potentials from –90 to +90 mV in 10 mV increments followed by a return to the holding potential. (C)The IFR-E double mutant expressed slow, C-type inactivation. Other N-truncated S2/S4 mutant jShak1 channels showed lesser amounts of slow inactivation. Currents evoked as in B. (D)Shortened acquisition protocols allowed channels to open fully but limited the amount of slow inactivation. Outwardly directed currents from an IFR-E mutant evoked by 50 ms step depolarizations from a holding potential of –90 mV to a range of potentials from –90 to +90 mV in 10 mV increments followed by a 20 ms step to –50 mV and 200 ms return to holding potential.
