Effect of Transjunctional KCl Gradients on the Spermine Inhibition of Connexin40 Gap Junctions  Xianming Lin, Richard D. Veenstra  Biophysical Journal  Volume 93, Issue 2, Pages 483-495 (July 2007) DOI: 10.1529/biophysj.106.098517 Copyright © 2007 The Biophysical Society Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 Cx40 Gj-Vj relationships under asymmetric normal to low [KCl] conditions. The steady-state Gj-Vj curves from six experiments under symmetrical control (A), asymmetric 75% trans [KCl] (B), asymmetric 50% trans [KCl] (C), and asymmetric 25% trans [KCl] conditions (D) are shown. The positive and negative Vj polarities of each curve were fit by Eq. 2 (thick solid line) and the results are presented in Table 1. Under asymmetric [KCl] conditions, the Gmin and V12 progressively increased on the low-[KCl] side while concomitantly decreasing on the high-[KCl] side.

Figure 2 Double whole-cell current (I1 and I2) recordings and spermine dose-response curves under different [KCl] conditions. I1 and I2 recordings for the control symmetric 140mM KCl (A), asymmetric 70/140mM trans/cis KCl (B), or asymmetric 140/70mM trans/cis KCl (C) conditions were obtained with 2mM spermine added unilaterally to cell 1. Junctional current (Ij=−ΔI2 measured from baseline Vj=0mV steps) was reduced in a time-dependent manner only when a positive Vj pulse (middle 30-s pulse) was applied to cell 1. Each colored current trace represents a ±10mV increase in Vj (black<green<blue<magenta<red). The Cx40 spermine inhibition dose-response curves were calculated from the mean (±SD) fractional Ij(KCl+spermine)/Ij(KCl) values for the symmetric 140mM KCl (D), asymmetric 140/70mM cis/trans KCl (E), or asymmetric 70/140 cis/trans mM KCl (F) conditions. The solid lines represent the Hill equation (Eq. 2) fits for each curve. The effective Kd values are listed in Table 2 (see text and Supplementary Material, Figs. S1 and S2 for more details).

Figure 3 Spermine inhibition Ij-Vj relationships under three different [KCl] conditions. (A) Schematic diagram of the experimental design for the asymmetric [KCl] and [spermine] experiments performed on homotypic wild-type rat Cx40 gap junctions expressed in N2a cells. The normalized steady-state Ij-Vj curves for representative spermine concentrations are shown for the symmetric 140mM KCl (B), asymmetric 140/70mM cis/trans KCl (C), or asymmetric 70/140 cis/trans KCl (D) conditions. Each data point represents the average from three to five experiments (average of 4.6±0.6 experiments for each [spermine] tested). The solid lines represent the model Ij-Vj curves using Eqs. 5 or 6 that account for the Vj-dependent gating plus spermine block of Cx40 gap junctions under the indicated conditions.

Figure 4 Channel activity in the presence or absence of spermine and unilaterally reduced transjunctional [KCl] gradients. (A) Cx40 channel activity under symmetrical 140mM [KCl] conditions in the absence of spermine. The activity of zero to three 148 pS channels is evident and the cumulative open probabilites (N×Popen) were identical for each 30-s ±30-mV pulse with an average of 1.02 channels being open for the entire duration of each pulse. (B) The cumulative open probability at +35mV (6.5 open channels) was reduced by 14% relative to the −35-mV Vj pulse (5.6 open channels) under 75% trans [KCl] conditions in the absence of spermine. The apparent single-channel conductance (γj) was still 144 pS for the cis-side positive and was reduced to 109 pS for the trans-side positive. (C–F). Cx40 channel activity observed during the last 10s of a 30-s-duration Vj pulse to −35mV and the first 10s of the following +35-mV Vj pulse in the presence of 3.5mM spermine. (C) The γj of the observed channel activity with symmetrical 140mM [KCl] measured 128 pS in the presence of spermine. This corresponds to a 15% reduction in γj, whereas N×Popen was reduced by 70% during the positive Vj pulse (0.96 relative to 3.14 open channels; +Vj/−Vj) in the presence of 3.5mM spermine. (D) In this example, the trans side of the gap junction contained only 105mM KCl. This reduced the apparent trans γj slightly (?20%) to 120 pS but N×Popen declined by 81% (0.42 relative to 2.21 open channels) during the +35-mV Vj step on the cis spermine-containing side of the junction. (E) Results obtained when [KCl] was reduced to 105mM on the cis 3.5mM spermine-containing side of the gap junction. N×Popen declined by only 45% (1.13 relative to 2.47 open channels) during the +35-mV step, whereas the apparent γj was reduced by 25% to 90 pS. (F) Cx40 gap junction channel blockade at low (100μM) [spermine] occurred by a 96% reduction in N×Popen relative to the preceeding −40mV Vj step (0.24 relative to 3.89 open channels). This dramatic reduction in N×Popen occurred despite the apparently higher γj value of 195 pS on the cis spermine-containing side of the junction due to the electrodiffusion potential established by the asymmetric [KCl] gradient. The dotted line indicates the true zero Ij baseline under these recording conditions (see text for further details).

Figure 5 Concentration- and Vj-dependent spermine association and dissociation rates under symmetric [KCl] conditions. (A) Determination of the decay time constant (τdecay) during the onset of a positive Vj step in the presence of 2mM spermine. For this example, the steady-state open probability (Popen) was 0.11. (B) Determination of the rise-time constant (τrise) during the onset of a negative Vj step in the presence of 2mM spermine. (C) The spermine on-rates (Kon), determined from the Ij decay time constants at +Vj values, were calculated using Eq. 7 for all four symmetric [KCl] conditions. The Kon values were fit by a single exponential. (D) The spermine off-rates (Koff), calculated from the decay time constants at +Vj values or rising time constants at −Vj values using Eq. 8 or 9, respectively, were fit by a single exponential function for all four symmetric [KCl] conditions. Symmetrically decreasing the [KCl] reciprocally increased and decreased the spermine on-rates and off-rates (see Supplemental Material, Fig. S3, for further details).

Figure 6 Concentration- and Vj-dependent spermine association and dissociation rates under asymmetric [KCl] conditions. (A) The spermine Kon rates, determined from τdecay and Popen at +Vj values for all asymmetric cis/trans [KCl] conditions, were well described by a single exponential function (Eq. 10). Increasing the cis/trans [KCl] ratio increased the spermine on-rates, whereas decreasing it had the opposite effect. (B) The spermine Koff rates, calculated from τdecay and Popen at +Vj or τrise values at −Vj values for all asymmetric cis/trans [KCl] conditions, were well described by Eq. 10. Increasing the cis/trans [KCl] ratio reciprocally increased the spermine on-rates and decreased the spermine off-rates and vice versa (see Supplementary Material, Fig. S4 for further details).

Figure 7 δ-Values (■) for control and all asymmetric experimental cis/trans [KCl] conditions. The fraction of the Vj field (δ) sensed by spermine (z=+4) at the inhibitory site increased with elevations in the cis/trans K+ activity ratio with a Hill coefficient of 0.99±0.16, indicative of a direct single-site interaction (see Supplementary Material, Fig. S5 for further details). The δ-value under symmetrically reduced [KCl] conditions (□) was less than that observed during the trans-only reduction. The shift in the δ-value from the low trans condition to the equivalent low cis-trans condition is indicated by the dashed arrow.
