Abstract

The recently cloned retinal cone Na(+)-Ca(2+)-K(+) exchanger (NCKX) was expressed in cultured insect cells, and whole-cell patch clamp was used to measure transmembrane currents generated by this transcript and compare them with currents generated by retinal rod NCKX or by a deletion mutant rod NCKX from which the two large hydrophilic loops were removed. We have characterized the ionic currents generated by both the forward (Ca(2+) extrusion) and reverse (Ca(2+) influx) modes of all three NCKX proteins. Reverse NCKX exchange generated outward current that required the simultaneous presence of both external Ca(2+) and external K(+). Forward NCKX exchange carried inward current with Na(+), but not with Li(+) in the bath solution. The cation dependencies of the three NCKX tested (external K(+), external Na(+), internal Ca(2+)) were very similar to each other and to those reported previously for the in situ rod NCKX. These findings provide the first electrophysiological characterization of cone NCKX and the first electrophysiological characterization of potassium-dependent Na(+)-Ca(+) exchangers in heterologous systems. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of combining heterologous expression and biophysical measurements for detailed NCKX structure/function studies.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
