Abstract:
:We report a study of the characterization of voltage-activated potassium (K+) currents in retinal ON bipolar cells in zebrafish. At single-channels levels, the open probability of the K+ channels increased when the membrane potential was increased. The maximal open proportion was 0.76+/-0.05 under our testing conditions. In whole-cell recordings, the K+ current displayed two exponential components with the activation time constants of 11-22 msec (tau1) and 0.8-4 msec (tau2). Dopamine modulated the K+ current. Dopamine reduced the time constant tau2 when the membrane potential was depolarized to high voltages. A decrease in K+ current was seen when dopamine D1 receptors were selectively activated by SKF38393 or when the D1 receptor-coupled G-proteins were activated by GTP-gamma-S. The activation of adenylate cyclase by forskolin or the increase of intracellular cAMP concentrations by 8-Br-cAMP or Sp-cAMPS also resulted in a decrease in K+ current. Together, the data suggest that dopamine modulates the K+ current via D1 receptor-coupled G-protein pathways.
