Response of oCNG channels expressed in an HEK-AC8 cell to the photolysis of caged cAMP. (A) Photolysis of NPE-cAMP is indicated by flash artifacts, Vm = −50 mV. Data are from one cell; the external solution contained either 0.1 or 10 mM MgCl2. No photolysis-induced currents were observed when the cell was bathed in 10 mM MgCl2. Zero current is indicated by the dotted line. The basal current was due to 20 μM cAMP in the pipette solution and a small amount of leak (see 10 mM MgCl2 trace). (B) No response to the photolysis of caged cAMP was observed in cells not expressing oCNG channels (uninfected) or in oCNG channel–expressing cells with 1 mM cAMP added to the pipette solution.
