N-type Ca2+ channels are modulated by a variety of G-protein-coupled pathways. Some pathways produce a transient, voltage-dependent (VD) inhibition of N channel function and involve direct binding of G-protein subunits; others require the activation of intermediate enzymes and produce a longer-lasting, voltage-independent (VI) form of inhibition. The ratio of VD:VI inhibition differs significantly among cell types, suggesting that the two forms of inhibition play unique physiological roles in the nervous system. In this study, we explored mechanisms capable of altering the balance of VD and VI inhibition in chick dorsal root ganglion neurons. We report that (1) VD:VI inhibition is critically dependent on the Gbeta gamma concentration, with VI inhibition dominant at low Gbeta gamma concentrations, and (2) syntaxin-1A (but not syntaxin-1B) shifts the ratio in favor of VD inhibition by potentiating the VD effects of Gbeta gamma . Variations in expression levels of G-proteins and/or syntaxin provide the means to alter over a wide range both the extent and the rate of Ca2+ influx through N channels.

Key words: G-protein modulation; dorsal root ganglion neurons; GABA receptors; adrenergic receptors; recombinant channels; presynaptic regulation
