Effects of thiol-modifying agents on NO-induced KATP channel activation. (A) Representative current traces in inside-out patches at -60 mV holding potential in the presence of 1 mM [ATP]i in large SS neurons. SNAP (100 μM) and DTT (5 mM), a thiol-reducing agent, were added to bath solution as indicated by the horizontal solid bars. Arrows indicate closed channel state. The changes of NPo values are summarized in (B). Values are shown as mean ± SD (n = 7 in each group). (C) Representative current traces in inside-out patches at -60 mV holding potential in the presence of 1 mM [ATP]i in large SS neurons. NEM (5 mM), a thiol alkylating agent, and SNAP (100 μM) were added to bath solution as indicated by the horizontal solid bars. Arrows indicate closed channel state. The changes of NPo values are summarized in (D). Values are shown as mean ± SD (n = 6 in each group).
