Control of K+ channels by G proteins

Abstract: Heterotrimeric G3 proteins are though to couple receptors to ionic channels via cytoplasmic mediators such as cGMP in the case of retinal rods, cAMP in the case of olfactory cells, and the cAMP cascade in the case of cardiac myocytes. G protein-mediated second messenger effects on K+ channels are dealt with elsewhere in this series. Recently, membrane-delimited pathways have been uncovered and an hypothesis proposed in which the alpha subunits of G proteins directly couple receptors to ionic channels, particul… Show more

“…While it appears that G. is involved with a neuronal voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel (6,8,9,22,23) and that both Go and Gi are involved with K+ channels (75) there are also reports that G. and Gi are involved with Ca2+ channels in neuronal ganglion cells (13), adrenal cortex cells (76), and pituitary cells (77). We believe that Go and Gi are involved with the Ca2+ channels, based on our findings (Fig.…”

“…Neuroendocrine control of cardiac function, notably by vagal innervation or by circulating catecholamines, is an important mechanism for control of the rate and force of contraction of the heart. Acetylcholine binds to M 2 muscarinic cholinergic receptors to activate an inwardly rectifying K ϩ channel (IK.ACh), through a pertussis toxin-sensitive mechanism (65). Hyperpolarization contributes to a slowing of the rate of contraction of the heart.…”

“…Taken together, these data suggest the involvement of cGMP in the signaling pathway for GN, UGN, and STa causing depolarizations of IHKE-1 cells. Activation of PT-sensitive G proteins open K ϩ channels in the plasma membrane which can cause hyperpolarizations (33,34). Therefore, we incubated cells with 1 g/ml PT for 24 h. Basal V m in these cells was Ϫ35.1 Ϯ 0.7 mV (n ϭ 14).…”

“…As shown before, activation of cAMP and increases in cellular Ca 2ϩ in IHKE-1 cells do not induce hyperpolarizations excluding an involvement of PKA and PKC (23). In muscle, neuron and kidney PT-sensitive G protein stimulation activates K ϩ channels (33,34). Crane et al (41) failed to demonstrate an effect of PT on GC-C-mediated effect of STa in the intestine excluding the involvement of G proteins in this signaling cascade.…”
