Efficacy of M channel enhancers to ‘reverse’ inhibitory action of PIP2 depletion or Ca2+/CaM

Enhancer (Iinhib+enhancer/Ibasal)

Vm Inhibitory conditions Flu Rtg ZnPth H2O2
−60 mV Ptase/Rapa 1.87 ± 0.4* 2.09 ± 0.6* 3.86 ± 0.8* 2.51 ± 0.6*
−60 mV Ca2+/CaM 1.32* 2.92* 1.74*
0 mV Ptase/Rapa 0.62 ± 0.1‡ 0.97 ± 0.03† 1.86 ± 0.2* 1.33 ± 0.3*
0 mV Ca2+/CaM 0.46‡ 0.17‡ 0.61‡

Efficacy to augment M current amplitude was measured at 0 and –60 mV and expressed as a ratio of Iinhib+enhancer to Ibasal. Where possible, ratios (R) were calculated from the individual paired experiments and are given as means ± SEM; where this was not possible, the ratio of mean amplitudes is used and given as single values. *R > 1.25; †R = 0.75−1.25; ‡R < 0.75. A ratio of 1 indicates restoration of inhibited current to basal level.
