Modulation of N-type calcium channels in bullfrog sympathetic neurons by luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone: kinetics and voltage dependence
LM Boland and BP Bean
Department of Neurobiology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115.
Inhibition of Ca channel current by luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone
(LHRH) was studied in freshly dissociated bullfrog sympathetic ganglion
neurons using whole-cell recording. LHRH inhibited up to 80% of the
high-threshold Ca channel current with a half-maximally effective
concentration of about 20 nM. LHRH inhibited omega-conotoxin- sensitive but
not nimodipine-sensitive current and also did not inhibit Bay K
8644-enhanced currents, suggesting that LHRH inhibits N-type but not L-type
channels. Inhibition was faster at higher concentrations of LHRH, reaching
a limiting time constant of 2 sec at 0.3-3 mM LHRH. The rate of recovery
from block (tau approximately 19 sec) was independent of LHRH
concentration. Inhibition of N-type current by LHRH was highly sensitive to
the gating state of the channel. Though strongly effective if applied when
channels were mostly in the resting state, LHRH had little effect if
applied rapidly during a long depolarization that opened the channels.
Inhibition could be relieved if channels were activated by short, large
test depolarizations or by long, smaller depolarizations. The
state-dependent properties of LHRH block could be simulated by a model that
assumes that inhibition by LHRH results from activated G-proteins binding
to N-type channels and that (1) G-protein binding stabilizes closed gating
states and (2) activation of G-protein- bound channels destabilizes the
binding of the G-protein to the channel.
