Abstract
Ca2+ channels of isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum were incorporated into a planar lipid bilayer and their pharmacological properties were studied. The results show that the channel is a Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release channel like that observed in skinned muscle fibers and isolated vesicles. (i) The open channel probability was increased by the addition of micromolar amounts of Ca2+ to the cis (myoplasmic) side and further increased by millimolar ATP. (ii) The channel was closed by millimolar Mg2+ and micromolar ruthenium red. We found that two disulfonic stilbene derivatives, 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS) and 4-acetoamido-4'-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (SITS), when added to the cis side open the channel and lock it irreversibly at open without changing the single channel conductance. Ca2+ efflux from SR vesicles was also enhanced by SITS and DIDS, as monitored by a tracer assay. Further, Ag+ activated the channel transiently. These results suggest that certain amino and SH residues play important roles in gating the Ca2+ channel.
