Abstract

Activity of several ion channels is controlled by heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins (G proteins) via a membrane-delimited pathway that does not involve cytoplasmic intermediates. The best studied example is the K+ channel activated by muscarinic agonists in the atrium, which plays a crucial role in regulating the heartbeat. To enable studies of the molecular mechanisms of activation, this channel, denoted KGA, was cloned from a rat atrium cDNA library by functional coupling to coexpressed serotonin type 1A receptors in Xenopus oocytes. KGA displays regions of sequence homology to other inwardly rectifying channels as well as unique regions that may govern G-protein interaction. The expressed KGA channel is activated by serotonin 1A, muscarinic m2, and delta-opioid receptors via G proteins. KGA is activated by guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate in excised patches, confirming activation by a membrane-delimited pathway, and displays a conductance equal to that of the endogenous channel in atrial cells. The hypothesis that similar channels play a role in neuronal inhibition is supported by the cloning of a nearly identical channel (KGB1) from a rat brain cDNA library.

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.
