Abrogation of activation of InsP3R-3 channel activity by physiological levels of [Ca2+]ER. (A–C) Typical single-current traces recorded during a switch of [Ca2+]ER from 70 nM to 550 µM with different Vapp used. (D–F) Bar graphs of mean ratios of channel Po, to, and tc observed before and after [Ca2+]ER switches between 70 nM and 550 µM, showing the abrogation of activating effects of 550 µM [Ca2+]ER on InsP3R channel activity by increasing positive Vapp and strong cytoplasmic Ca2+ buffering used. ooo and oo indicate statistically significant difference between the two ratios connected by the bracket (P < 0.005 and 0.01, respectively; unpaired t test). Note the logarithmic scale used for the to axis (in red) in E.
