Effect of sulfhydryl reagents on wild-type and S79 mutant mBest2. Currents were recorded using a high intracellular free [Ca2+]. (A–C) Time course of the effect of MTS reagents on mBest2 currents at 100 mV. (A) Effect of 1 mM MTSET+ on currents induced by wild-type mBest2. (B) Effect of 10 μM MTSET+ (solid symbols) and 10 μM MTSES (open symbols) on currents induced by S79C mBest2. (C) Effect of 10 μM MTSET+ on currents induced by S79A mBest2. Note the rundown of the S79A current during the first 2 min of recording. (D) Mean effect of MTS reagents on wild-type (wt) and S79C, S79A, and S79L mBest2 currents. The ratio of the control current at +100 mV before application of the MTS reagent (Icontrol) and after the effect reached steady-state (IMTS) is shown. The concentration of reagent used is shown above each bar and the number of cells tested is shown within the bar. Symmetrical Cl was used for all experiments except the experiment labeled S79C/SCN MTSET, where 140 mM Cl was replaced with SCN. (E) Current-voltage relationships of S79C currents before and after MTSET+ in the presence of symmetrical Cl (solid lines) and with extracellular Cl replaced with SCN (dashed lines) as indicated.
