(A) V1/2 shifts with 10-min applications of dioctanoyl phosphatidylinositol (PI) (â0.3 ± 1.7 mV, n = 3), dioctanoyl phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI(4)P) (+7.5 ± 2.0 mV, n = 6), dioctanoyl phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate (PI(3,4)P2) (+12.3 ± 1.8 mV, n = 7), dioctanoyl phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2), and dioctanoyl phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PI(3,4,5)P3) (+9.3 ± 1.8 mV, n = 8).

Figure 4. Effects of cAMP and diC8 PI(4,5)P2 on V1/2 and channel kinetics are not independent. (A) Interaction of effects of cAMP and diC8 PI(4,5)P2 on V1/2. Bars show the following (from left to right): cAMP, shift in V1/2 in response to 10 μM cAMP; cAMP + PIP2, shift in V1/2 in response to 10 μM cAMP plus 25 μM diC8 PI(4,5)P2; PIP2 (during cAMP), the difference between the shift in V1/2 in response to cAMP plus diC8 PI(4,5)P2 and the shift produced by cAMP alone; PIP2, shift in response to 25 μM diC8 PI(4,5)P2 alone; PIP2 (HCN2/FPN), shift of mutant channel in response to 25 μM diC8 PI(4,5)P2. The shift with diC8 PI(4,5)P2 in the presence of cAMP is less than the shift with diC8 PI(4,5)P2 alone (PIP2) (*, P < 0.01, t test). Error bars show SEM. Number of experiments shown in each bar. (B) Interaction of effects of cAMP and diC8 PI(4,5)P2 on time constants (Ï) of HCN2 activation (left axis) and deactivation (right axis). Squares, data obtained in absence of PIP2 and cAMP (solid line, n = 14); circles, data obtained in the presence of 25 μM diC8 PI(4,5)P2 (dashed line, n = 10); triangles, data obtained in presence of 10 μM cAMP (dotted line, n = 4); inverted triangles, data obtained in combined presence of 10 μM cAMP plus 25 μM diC8 PI(4,5)P2 (dash dotted line, n = 4). The difference between the time constant of activation at â105 mV in the presence of cAMP (1.49 ± 0.20 s) versus that in the presence of cAMP and PIP2 (0.664 ± 0.056 s) was statistically significant (*, P < 0.02, t test). The difference between the time constant of activation at â95 mV in the presence of cAMP (5.66 ± 0.48 s) and in the presence of cAMP and PIP2 (2.18 ± 0.33 s) was also statistically significant (**, P < 0.001, t test).

Figure 9. Effect of diC8 PI(4,5)P2 on the rundown of the voltage dependence of activation for HCN currents in sinoatrial node cells. (A) Representative whole-cell currents evoked by stepping the membrane from a holding potential of â35 mV to voltages ranging from â25 to â70 mV in 15-mV increments. The recordings were acquired 1 min (top) and 14 min (bottom) after membrane rupture in the absence (left) and in the presence (right) of 200 μM diC8 PI(4,5)P2 in the pipette solution. Hyperpolarizing test voltages indicated at right. (B) Mean tail current activation curves at 1 min (filled symbols) and 14 min (open symbols) in the absence (squares) and in the presence of 200 μM diC8 PI(4,5)P2 (circles). The curves show best fits of the Boltzmann equation. Mean values of parameters from Boltzmann fits of individual activation curves obtained 1 min after patch rupture in absence and presence of diC8 PI(4,5)P2 were, respectively, V1/2 = â58.0 ± 1.5 mV (n = 8) and â58.3 ± 1.7 mV (n = 8, P > 0.05); s = 8.5 ± 0.7 mV and 7.8 ± 0.2 mV (P > 0.05). Mean parameters from Boltzmann fits obtained after 14 min of whole-cell recording in absence and presence of diC8 PI(4,5)P2 were, respectively, V1/2 = â86.4 ± 2.8 mV (n = 6) and â72.4 ± 2.7 mV (n = 6, P < 0.05); s = 16.8 ± 1.3 mV and 12.9 ± 0.7 mV (P < 0.05). (C) Time course of rundown in V1/2 during whole cell recordings in the absence (squares) and in the presence (circles) of 200 μM diC8 PI(4,5)P2. The two curves differ significantly at times indicated by asterisks. Values of V1/2 for 1- and 14-min points from B. For 8-min points, mean activation parameters in absence and presence of diC8 PI(4,5)P2 were, respectively, V1/2 = â70.9 ± 1.7 mV (n = 8) and â63.4 ± 1.6 mV (n = 8, P < 0.05) and s = 14.1 ± 0.3 mV and 10.9 ± 0.6 mV (P < 0.05). Data for B and C obtained from three animals. There was no difference in mean capacitance between the two groups (not depicted).
