Variable ratio of permeability to gating charge of rBIIA sodium channels and sodium influx in Xenopus oocytes.

???displayArticle.abstract???
Whole-cell gating current recording from rat brain IIA sodium channels in Xenopus oocytes was achieved using a high-expression system and a newly developed high-speed two-electrode voltage-clamp. The resulting ionic currents were increased by an order of magnitude. Surprisingly, the measured corresponding gating currents were approximately 5-10 times larger than expected from ionic permeability. This prompted us to minimize uncertainties about clamp asymmetries and to quantify the ratio of sodium permeability to gating charge, which initially would be expected to be constant for a homogeneous channel population. The systematic study, however, showed a 10- to 20-fold variation of this ratio in different experiments, and even in the same cell during an experiment. The ratio of P(Na)/Q was found to correlate with substantial changes observed for the sodium reversal potential. The data suggest that a cytoplasmic sodium load in Xenopus oocytes or the energy consumption required to regulate the increase in cytoplasmic sodium represents a condition where most of the expressed sodium channels keep their pore closed due to yet unknown mechanisms. In contrast, the movements of the voltage sensors remain undisturbed, producing gating current with normal properties.
