BK Ca -Cav Channel Complexes Mediate Rapid and Localized Ca 2+ -Activated K + Signaling
Abstract
Large-conductance calcium- and voltage-activated potassium channels (BK Ca ) are dually activated by membrane depolarization and elevation of cytosolic calcium ions (Ca 2+ ). Under normal cellular conditions, BK Ca channel activation requires Ca 2+ concentrations that typically occur in close proximity to Ca 2+ sources. We show that BK Ca channels affinity-purified from rat brain are assembled into macromolecular complexes with the voltage-gated calcium channels Cav1.2 (L-type), Cav2.1 (P/Q-type), and Cav2.2 (N-type). Heterologously expressed BK Ca -Cav complexes reconstitute a functional “Ca 2+ nanodomain” where Ca 2+ influx through the Cav channel activates BK Ca in the physiological voltage range with submillisecond kinetics. Complex formation with distinct Cav channels enables BK Ca -mediated membrane hyperpolarization that controls neuronal firing pattern and release of hormones and transmitters in the central nervous system.

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.
