Figure 7.

Removal of intracellular Mg2+ greatly reduces fractional decay of both inward and outward currents via E2A/E4A-α1C. Fractional decay of current was measured as the difference between the peak and steady-state current amplitudes divided by the peak current amplitude and is shown for both inward (top panel, Vtest of −20 to 20 mV) and outward (bottom panel, Vtest of 50–100 mV) currents. Data are shown for a pipette solution containing Mg2+ (circles) and for a Mg2+-free pipette (triangles). Both in the absence (filled symbols) and presence (open symbols) of (−)BayK 8644, the Mg2+-free pipette solution almost completely eliminated the decay of inward and outward currents.
