Distinct patterns of InsP3R channel gating in each of the three modes as revealed by burst filtering. The current records were obtained in saturating 10 μM InsP3 and [Ca2+]i as tabulated. Each section consists of a set of three traces of the same single channel current record: (top) unprocessed current trace, (middle) idealized current trace generated from current record using Qub software, and (bottom) idealized current trace after burst analysis. (A) InsP3R gating in high-P o, H, mode in which the channel opens mainly in bursts whose gating behavior is substantially affected by burst analysis. (B) InsP3R gating in intermediate-P o, I, mode with rapid opening and closing kinetics that is largely unaffected by burst analysis. (C) Channel gating in low-P o, L, mode with brief openings separated by very long closed durations.
