Low voltage-activated Ca2+ channels play
important roles in pacing neuronal firing and producing network
oscillations, such as those that occur during sleep and epilepsy. Here
we describe the cloning and expression of the third member of the
T-type family, 1I or CavT.3, from rat brain. Northern
analysis indicated that it is predominantly expressed in brain.
Expression of the cloned channel in either Xenopus
oocytes or stably transfected human embryonic kidney-293 cells
revealed novel gating properties. We compared these
electrophysiological properties to those of the cloned T-type channels
1G and 1H and to the high voltage-activated channels formed by
1E 3. The 1I channels opened after small depolarizations of the membrane similar to 1G and 1H but at more
depolarized potentials. The kinetics of activation and inactivation were dramatically slower, which allows the channel to act as a Ca2+ injector. In oocytes, the kinetics were even
slower, suggesting that components of the expression system modulate
its gating properties. Steady-state inactivation occurred at higher
potentials than any of the other T channels, endowing the channel with
a substantial window current. The 1I channel could still be
classified as T-type by virtue of its criss-crossing kinetics, its slow
deactivation (tail current), and its small (11 pS) conductance in 110 mM Ba2+ solutions. Based on its brain
distribution and novel gating properties, we suggest that 1I plays
important roles in determining the electroresponsiveness of neurons,
and hence, may be a novel drug target.
