Abstract
We determine the calcium fluxes through inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor/channels underlying calcium puffs of Xenopus laevis oocytes using a simplified version of the algorithm of Ventura et al. An analysis of 130 puffs obtained with Fluo-4 indicates that Ca2+ release comes from a region of width approximately 450 nm, that the release duration is peaked around 18 s and that the underlying Ca2+ currents range between 0.12 and 0.95 pA. All these parameters are independent of IP(3) concentration. We explore what distributions of channels that open during a puff, N(p), and what relations between current and number of open channels, I(N(p)), are compatible with our findings and with the distribution of puff-to-trigger amplitude ratio reported in Rose et al. To this end, we use simple "mean field" models in which all channels open and close simultaneously. We find that the variability among clusters plays an important role in shaping the observed puff amplitude distribution and that a model for which I(N(p)) approximately N(p) for small N(p) and I(N(p)) approximately N(p)(1/alpha) (alpha > 1) for large N(p), provides the best agreement. Simulations of more detailed models in which channels open and close stochastically show that...Continue Reading
