Interaction of forskolin with voltage-gated K+ channels in PC12 cells

SS Garber, T Hoshi and RW Aldrich
Department of Neurobiology, Stanford University School of Medicine, California 94305.

Forskolin (FSK) directly blocks a distinct class of voltage-dependent K+ channels in pheochromocytoma cells. We have studied the biophysical mechanism of FSK action on these channels. The mean open duration decreased linearly with [FSK], indicating that a single molecule of FSK interacts with a single open K+ channel. FSK did not alter the voltage dependence of activation or the latency to first opening. Whole-cell currents in the presence of FSK did not show a rising phase in tail currents, suggesting that FSK-bound channels can close. We used a kinetic scheme in which FSK binds preferentially to the open state of the channel to describe its interaction with the K+ channel. This scheme is analogous to the modulated receptor hypothesis used to describe the interaction of local anesthetics with voltage-dependent Na+ channels.
