Research Abstract |
The inside-out patch-clamp technique was applied to the plasmolyzed plasmalemma of internodes of Chara corallina without enzymatic treatment. We found two different types of channel activity that were C1^- -sensitive. Both types of channel were Ca^<2+> -dependent. However, the one that exhibited greater dependence on Ca^<2+> ions was the focus of our studies, and we named it the Ca^<2+> -dependent Cl^- -sensitive anion channel. When the concentration of Ca^<2+> ions on the cytoplasmic side was 1.0 uM, the Ca^<2+>-dependent Cl^- -sensitive channel opened most frequently between approximately -80 and -100mV. At 10 uM Ca^<2+>, it opened less frequently, and at 0.1 uM Ca^<2+> it scarcely opened at all. These observations indicate that the anion channel of interest is voltage-dependent over a restricted range of concentrations of Ca^<2+> ions. The dependence on Ca^<2+> and voltage of the channel can explain the behavior of the excitable Ca^<2+>-activated Cl^- channel in the Chara plasmalemma. The channel activity was blocked by several antagonists of calmodulin.
