Changes in the relative efficacy of the M channel enhancers to augment M current during PIP2 depletion or Ca2+/CaM saturation

Enhancer (Ibasal/Ienhancer)/(Iinhib/Iinhib+enhancer)

Vm Inhibitory conditions Flu Rtg ZnPth H2O2
−60 mV Ptase/Rapa 1.02† 2.05* 1.24† 1.1†
−60 mV Ca2+/CaM 0.9† 0.57‡ 1.34*
0 mV Ptase/Rapa 1.1† 1.36* 1.69* 1.9*
0 mV Ca2+/CaM 1.34* 1.23† 1.64*

Ratios of Ibasal/Ienhancer divided by Iinhib/Iinhib+enhancer were calculated from the M current amplitudes measured at 0 and –60 mV in basal conditions (Ibasal), during PIP2 depletion or Ca2+/CaM saturation (Iinhib) or during PIP2 depletion or Ca2+/CaM saturation after the application of enhancer (Iinhib+enhancer). *R > 1.25; †R = 0.75−1.25; ‡R < 0.75. A ratio of 1 indicates that the fractional increase in current induced by the enhancer is the same under basal or inhibited conditions.
