FIGURE 7.
S516E and T594E phosphomimetics shift INa availability independent of CaMKII. A, V50 of activation was not different among phosphomimetics or compared with WT. B, T594E and S516E INa V50 of availability was shifted to negative Vm in the presence of AIP and without δC-CaMKII co-expression (indicated by striping). V50 of availability for S571E and S516E/T594E was not significantly different from WT with AIP (*, p < 0.05 by ANOVA versus WT with AIP; bracket indicates no difference by t test for S516E and T594E versus WT with δC-CaMKII). C, expanded version of B, for comparing the effect of AIP omission (versus with AIP) in the pipette for different NaV1.5. For the T594E phosphomimetic, availability was not altered when endogenous CaMKII was allowed to function (versus with AIP). For S516E, endogenous CaMKII partly reversed the effect of the phosphomimetic. S571E, which did not mimic the CaMKII-induced shift in V50 when AIP was present (in contrast to S516E and T594E) could still shift V50 negative by endogenous CaMKII activity. (n as indicated, ±S.E. (error bars); AIP and exogenous CaMKII present only where indicated). #, p < 0.05 by t test versus with AIP for the same NaV1.5 type.
