To determine the mechanisms responsible for the termination of Ca2+-activated Cl- currents (ICl(Ca)), simultaneous measurements of whole cell currents and intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) were made in equine tracheal myocytes. In nondialyzed cells, or cells dialyzed with 1 mM ATP, ICl(Ca) decayed before the [Ca2+]i decline, whereas the calcium-activated potassium current decayed at the same rate as [Ca2+]i. Substitution of AMP-PNP or ADP for ATP markedly prolonged the decay of ICl(Ca), resulting in a rate of current decay similar to that of the fall in [Ca2+]i. In the presence of ATP, dialysis of the calmodulin antagonist W7, the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII) inhibitor KN93, or a CaMKII-specific peptide inhibitor the rate of ICl(Ca) decay was slowed and matched the [Ca2+]i decline, whereas H7, a nonspecific kinase inhibitor with low affinity for CaMKII, was without effect. When a sustained increase in [Ca2+]i was produced in ATP dialyzed cells, the current decayed completely, whereas in cells loaded with 5'-adenylylimidodiphosphate (AMP-PNP), KN93, or the CaMKII inhibitory peptide, ICl(Ca) did not decay. Slowly decaying currents were repeatedly evoked in ADP- or AMP-PNP-loaded cells, but dialysis of adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) or okadaic acid resulted in a smaller initial ICl(Ca), and little or no current (despite a normal [Ca2+]i transient) with a second stimulation. These data indicate that CaMKII phosphorylation results in the inactivation of calcium-activated chloride channels, and that transition from the inactivated state to the closed state requires protein dephosphorylation.

We determined the effect of nucleotides and protein kinase A (PKA) on the Ca(2+)-dependent gating of the cloned intermediate conductance, Ca(2+)-dependent K(+) channel, hIK1. In Xenopus oocytes, during two-electrode voltage-clamp, forskolin plus isobutylmethylxanthine induced a Ca(2+)-dependent increase in hIK1 activity. In excised inside-out patches, addition of ATP induced a Ca(2+)-dependent increase in hIK1 activity (NP(o)). In contrast, neither nonhydrolyzable (AMP-PNP, AMP-PCP) nor hydrolyzable ATP analogs (GTP, CTP, UTP, and ITP) activated hIK1. The ATP-dependent activation of hIK1 required Mg(2+) and was reversed by either exogenous alkaline phosphatase or the PKA inhibitor PKI(5-24). The Ca(2+) dependence of hIK1 activation was best fit with a stimulatory constant (K(s)) of 350 nM and a Hill coefficient (n) of 2.3. ATP increased NP(o) at [Ca(2+)] >100 nM while having no effect on K(s) or n. Mutation of the single PKA consensus phosphorylation site at serine 334 to alanine (S334A) had no effect on the PKA-dependent activation during either two-electrode voltage-clamp or in excised inside-out patches. When expressed in HEK293 cells, ATP activated hIK1 in a Mg(2+)-dependent fashion, being reversed by alkaline phosphatase. Neither PKI(5-24) nor CaMKII(281-309) or PKC(19-31) affected the ATP-dependent activation. Northern blot analysis revealed hIK1 expression in the T84 colonic cell line. Endogenous hIK1 was activated by ATP in a Mg(2+)- and PKI(5-24)-dependent fashion and was reversed by alkaline phosphatase, whereas CaMKII(281-309) and PKC(19-31) had no effect on the ATP-dependent activation. The Ca(2+)-dependent activation (K(s) and n) was unaffected by ATP. In conclusion, hIK1 is activated by a membrane delimited PKA when endogenously expressed. Although the oocyte expression system recapitulates this regulation, expression in HEK293 cells does not. The effect of PKA on hIK1 gating is Ca(2+)-dependent and occurs via an increase in NP(o) without an effect on either Ca(2+) affinity or apparent cooperativity.

Calmodulin (CaM) is implicated in regulation of Ca(2+) channels as a Ca(2+) sensor. The effect of CaM on rundown of L-type Ca(2+) channels in inside-out patch form was investigated in guinea pig ventricular myocytes. Ca(2+) channel activity disappeared within 1-3 min and did not reappear when the patch was excised and exposed to an artificial intracellular solution. However, application of CaM (0.03, 0.3, 3 microM) + 3 mM ATP to the intracellular solution within 1 min after patch excision resulted in dose-dependent activation of channel activity. Channel activity averaged 11.2%, 94.7%, and 292.9%, respectively, of that in cell-attached mode. Channel activity in inside-out patch mode was induced by CaM + ATP at nanomolar Ca(2+) concentrations ([Ca(2+)]); however, increase to micromolar [Ca(2+)] rapidly inactivated the channel activity induced, revealing that the effect of CaM on the channel was Ca(2+) dependent. At the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, and 10th minutes after patch excision, CaM (0.75 microM) + ATP induced Ca(2+) channel activity to 150%, 100%, 96.9%, 29.3%, and 16.6%, respectively, revealing a time-dependent action of CaM on the channel. CaM added with adenosine 5'-(beta,gamma-imido)triphosphate (AMP-PNP) also induced channel activity, although with much lower potency and shorter duration. Protein kinase inhibitors KN-62, CaM-dependent protein kinase (CaMK)II 281-309, autocamtide-related CaMKII inhibitor peptide, and K252a (each 1-10 microM) did not block the effect of CaM, indicating that the effect of CaM on the Ca(2+) channel was phosphorylation independent. Neither CaM nor ATP alone induced Ca(2+) channel activity, showing a cooperative effect of CaM and ATP on the Ca(2+) channel. These results suggest that CaM is a crucial regulatory factor of Ca(2+) channel basal activity.

We investigated, by using the patch clamp technique, Ca2+-mediated regulation of heterologously expressed TRPC6 and TRPC7 proteins in HEK293 cells, two closely related homologues of the transient receptor potential (TRP) family and molecular candidates for native receptor-operated Ca2+ entry channels. With nystatin-perforated recording, the magnitude and time courses of activation and inactivation of carbachol (CCh; 100 microM)-activated TRPC6 currents (I(TRPC6)) were enhanced and accelerated, respectively, by extracellular Ca2+ (Ca2+(o)) whether it was continuously present or applied after receptor stimulation. In contrast, Ca2+(o) solely inhibited TRPC7 currents (I(TRPC7)). Vigorous buffering of intracellular Ca2+ (Ca2+(i)) under conventional whole-cell clamp abolished the slow potentiating (i.e. accelerated activation) and inactivating effects of Ca2+(o), disclosing fast potentiation (EC50: approximately 0.4 mM) and inhibition (IC50: approximately 4 mM) of I(TRPC6) and fast inhibition (IC50: approximately 0.4 mM) of I(TRPC7). This inhibition of I(TRPC6) and I(TRPC7) seems to be associated with voltage-dependent reductions of unitary conductance and open probability at the single channel level, whereas the potentiation of I(TRPC6) showed little voltage dependence and was mimicked by Sr2+ but not Ba2+. The activation process of I(TRPC6) or its acceleration by Ca2+(o) probably involves phosphorylation by calmodulin (CaM)-dependent kinase II (CaMKII), as pretreatment with calmidazolium (3 microM), coexpression of Ca2+-insensitive mutant CaM, and intracellular perfusion of the non-hydrolysable ATP analogue AMP-PNP and a CaMKII-specific inhibitory peptide all effectively prevented channel activation. However, this was not observed for TRPC7. Instead, single CCh-activated TRPC7 channel activity was concentration-dependently suppressed by nanomolar Ca2+(i) via CaM and conversely enhanced by IP3. In addition, the inactivation time course of I(TRPC6) was significantly retarded by pharmacological inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC). These results collectively suggest that TRPC6 and 7 channels are multiply regulated by Ca2+ from both sides of the membrane through differential Ca2+-CaM-dependent and -independent mechanisms.
