Actin microfilament disrupters enhance K(ATP) channel opening in patches from guinea‐pig cardiomyocytes.

Abstract: 1. To determine whether actin filament networks are associated with the regulation of ATP‐sensitive K+ (K(ATP)) channel activity, single channel currents were measured in the inside‐out configuration, and cytoskeletal disrupters applied to the internal side of patches excised from guinea‐pig ventricular myocytes. 2. Treatment of patches with DNase I (10‐200 micrograms ml(‐1)), which forms complexes with G‐actin and prevents actin filament formation, antagonized the ATP‐induced inhibition of K(ATP) channels. 3.… Show more

“…For well over a decade, the ion channel field has struggled to identify the molecular link between the K ATP channel and the cytoskeleton (24)(25)(26). The presence of an adapter complex was first proposed in the mid 1990's, based on a series of experiments that demonstrated a striking stimulatory effect of actin filament disrupting agents on K ATP channel opening (25).…”

“…The presence of an adapter complex was first proposed in the mid 1990's, based on a series of experiments that demonstrated a striking stimulatory effect of actin filament disrupting agents on K ATP channel opening (25). Specifically, disruption of the actin cytoskeleton has been shown to activate K ATP channel activity in excitable cells by reducing the sensitivity of K ATP channels to ATP-dependent channel closure (24)(25)(26). Thus, impairment in ATP sensitivity indicates a transduction pathway of inhibitory gating signals determined by the integrity of the submembrane cytoskeletal network.…”

“…There are several contributors including physical interactions between the channel and the actin cytoskeleton [95][96][97][98][99], as well as additional metabolic systems such as lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) that, like CK and AK has also been shown to physical associate with K ATP channel proteins [8,91,100]. LDH catalyzes the reaction NADH + pyruvate ↔ lactate + NAD.…”

“…Second, since the molecular identity of the insulin-responsive ion channels is not known, a direct effect of PI 3-kinase inhibitors or nocodazole on these channels that are already present in the plasma membrane cannot be completely excluded. This seems unlikely, since these inhibitors have no direct effect on ion channel activity in excised patches (46,47).…”
