Other claims from this paper (19)
- Observation About half the barley cells in both media had resting potentials below passive diffusion potentials.
- Observation Membrane hyperpolarization activated large inward currents.
- Observation Instantaneous current components did not discriminate K(+) from Na(+).
- Observation Time-dependent inward current was selective for potassium over sodium.
- Observation I(in) exhibited double exponential activation with 0.03 s and 0.3 s time constants.
- Observation I(in) half activation potential was - 171 mV.
- Observation I(in) showed no inactivation.
- Intervention effect Ba(2+) completely blocked I(in).
- Intervention effect TEA(+) partly blocked I(in), up to 50%.
- Association I(in) depended on millimolar cytoplasmic ATP.
- Observation External or cytoplasmic sodium did not block I(in).
- Observation Reversal-potential measurements ranked ion selectivity K(+) ≫ Rb(+) > NH(+)(4) > Na(+) ≫ Cl(-).
- Observation Steady-state current measurements ranked ion selectivity K(+) ≫ NH(+)(4) > Na(+) > Rb(+).
- Observation Sodium to potassium permeability ratio was 0.07 ± 0.02.
- Mechanism Variable permeability ratios suggested contributions from multiple channels.
- Observation Single channel experiments identified a 12 pS voltage-gated potassium-selective channel.
- Observation Single channel experiments identified a 7 pS ATP-activated nonselective cation channel.
- Observation Single channel experiments identified a 150 pS inward rectifying anion channel.
- Intervention effect High salt adaptation caused no significant difference in whole-cell currents or single-channel characteristics.
