Voltage‐ and Ca2+‐activated potassium channels in Ca2+ store control Ca2+ release

Abstract: Ca2+ release from Ca2+ stores is a ‘quantal’ process; it terminates after a rapid release of stored Ca2+. To explain the quantal nature, it has been supposed that a decrease in luminal Ca2+ acts as a ‘brake’ on store release. However, the mechanism for the attenuation of Ca2+ efflux remains unknown. We show that Ca2+ release is controlled by voltage‐ and Ca2+‐activated potassium channels in the Ca2+ store. The potassium channel was identified as the big or maxi‐K (BK)‐type, and was activated by positive shifts… Show more

“…In fact, voltage-and Ca 2+ -activated potassium (BK-type) channels are present in the nuclear envelope or perinuclear ER [32,33]. The store BK channel is activated by positive shifts in the luminal potential and luminal Ca 2+ increases [32,33].…”

“…In fact, voltage-and Ca 2+ -activated potassium (BK-type) channels are present in the nuclear envelope or perinuclear ER [32,33]. The store BK channel is activated by positive shifts in the luminal potential and luminal Ca 2+ increases [32,33]. From these properties of the store BK channel and the dynamics of the membrane potential of Ca 2+ store, 'luminal potential' model has been proposed to account for 'quantal' Ca 2+ release [32].…”
