Abstract：
:Sodium channels in plasma membranes can be blocked by a large variety of toxins and local anaesthetics. This property, however, is not confined to relatively large molecules. For instance, extracellularly applied small ions like hydrogen may also prevent the passive transport of permeant cations across open Na+ channels. A typical feature of this phenomenon is that the blocking action of hydrogen is gradually relieved by increasing the voltage applied across the membrane. Although in the frog skeletal muscle there is no clear evidence for a similar intracellular action, we report here for the squid giant axon remarkable effects on the ionic permeability of Na+ channels when the internal perfusate contains an excess of protons. Analysing the action of low pH inside and outside the fibre in terms of a kinetic model, we could conclude that Na+ channels in squid axons are controlled by two independent groups: one with an apparent pKa of 4.6 and the other with pKa 5.8, the former feeling one-fifth of the applied membrane potential, the latter three-quarters. As with pharmacological agents, we also show that the voltage-dependence of the H+ blockage is not affected by the presence of the inactivation gate.
