Effect of changing temperature on the ionic permeation through the cyclic GMP-gated channel from vertebrate photoreceptors.

Abstract：

:Native cGMP-gated channels were studied in rod outer segments of the larval tiger salamander Ambystoma tigrinum. The alpha subunit of the cGMP-gated channel from bovine rods, here referred to as the wild type (w.t.), and mutant channels were heterologously expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes. These channels were studied in excised membrane patches in the inside-out configuration and were activated by the addition of 100 or 500 microM cGMP. The effect of temperature on the ionic permeation was studied. The macroscopic current flowing through the native channel at +100 mV had an activation energy of 35.8, 30, 31.8, 34.5, 41.3, and 22.4 kJ mol-1 in the presence of Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+, and NH4+, respectively. The macroscopic current flowing through the w.t. channel at +100 mV had an activation energy of 45.2, 38.2, 37.5, 47.3, 49.4, and 38.9 kJ mol-1 in the presence of Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+, and NH4+, respectively. The activation energy of the macroscopic current flowing through the native and w.t. channels did not vary significantly when the ionic concentration of the permeant ion was changed between 2.5 and 110 mM. The activation energy of the single-channel current of the w.t. channel at +100 mV was 40.4 and 33 kJ mol-1 for Na+ and NH4+, respectively. The reversal potential of biionic solutions changed significantly with temperature. These results can be used to obtain an estimate of the enthalpic and entropic contributions to the barrier of the Gibbs free energy experienced by an ion during its permeation through the open channel. These estimates indicate that the ionic permeation and selectivity of the cGMP-gated channel are controlled both by enthalpic and entropic factors and that the selectivity of the native channel for Li+ over Na+ is primarily caused by entropic effects.
