Multiple Peptides Converge to Activate the Same Voltage-Dependent
Current in a Central Pattern-Generating Circuit

The stomatogastric ganglion of the crab, Cancer
borealis, is modulated by >20 different substances, including
numerous neuropeptides. One of these peptides, proctolin, activates an
inward current that shows strong outward rectification (Golowasch
and Marder, 1992). Decreasing the extracellular Ca2+
concentration linearizes the current-voltage curve of the
proctolin-induced current. We used voltage clamp to study the currents
evoked by proctolin and five additional modulators [C.
borealis tachykinin-related peptide Ia (CabTRP Ia), crustacean
cardioactive peptide, red pigment-concentrating hormone, TNRNFLRFamide,
and the muscarinic agonist pilocarpine] in stomatogastric ganglion
neurons, both in the intact ganglion and in dissociated cell culture.
Subtraction currents yielded proctolin-like current-voltage
relationships for all six substances, and the current-voltage curves
of all six substances showed linearization in low external
Ca2+. The lateral pyloric neuron responded to all
six modulators, but the ventricular dilator neuron only responded to a
subset of them. Bath application of saturating concentrations of
proctolin occluded the response to CabTRP and vice versa.
N-(6-Aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-napthalensulfonamide, a calmodulin inhibitor, increased the amplitude and altered the voltage
dependence of the responses elicited by CabTRP and proctolin. Together,
these data indicate that all six substances converge onto the same
voltage-dependent current, although they activate different receptors.
Therefore, differential network responses evoked by these substances
may primarily depend on the receptor distribution on network neurons.
