Single K+ channels were recorded under the cell-attached mode in Xenopus oocytes injected with an equal amount of mRNAs coding for NGK1 (Kv1.2) and NGK2 (Kv3.1a) voltage-dependent K+ channels. A new class of channels of 20 pS in conductance with three degrees of inactivation was observed. The results suggest that voltage-dependent NGK1 Shaker and NGK2 Shaw K+ channels, from different subfamilies, assemble to form heteromultimeric K+ channels in Xenopus oocytes and show characteristics inherited from two parental channels.
在爪蟾卵母细胞中,采用细胞贴附模式记录单个钾离子通道,这些卵母细胞被注射了等量的编码电压依赖性钾离子通道NGK1(Kv1.2)和NGK2(Kv3.1a)的信使核糖核酸。观察到一类新的通道,其电导为20皮安,具有三种失活程度。结果表明,来自不同亚家族的电压依赖性NGK1(Shaker型)和NGK2(Shaw型)钾离子通道在爪蟾卵母细胞中组装形成异源多聚体钾离子通道,并表现出来自两个亲本通道的特性。
