Voltage dependence of macroscopic inactivation properties of proline mutants. (A) Voltage dependence of macroscopic inactivation. τh was determined from single exponential fits to the current decay in macropatch experiments. Averages from 4 to 16 experiments are shown for WT (○), P1509A (▴), and P1512A (▾). *The voltage for τh values of mutant channels was corrected for differences in the mean midpoints of the activation curves relative to WT. ΔV1/2 relative to WT in macropatch experiments was +4 mV (P1509A) and +7 mV (P1512A). (B) Steady-state inactivation curves in response to 100-ms pulses. Data are averages of 4–7 two-electrode voltage-clamp experiments (Table I) with WT (○), P1509A (▴), and P1512A (▾). Solid lines are least-square fits of the Boltzmann equation to the data.
