Current-Voltage Relations for NvNav2.1 Mutants in Na+ and K+ Single Ion Solutions and Relative Permeabilities
Currents were elicited for 200 ms from −95 up to 70 mV from a holding potential of −100 mV.
(A–D) Current-voltage relations of representative oocytes expressing NvNav2.1 (A), NvNav2.1DEKA (B), NvNav2.1DKEA (C), or NvNav2.1NvNav2.5(p−loops) (D). Circles: Na+ single ion solution; squares: K+ single ion solution. The relative ion permeability was calculated from the difference in reversal potential between K+ and Na+ single ion solutions of identical concentrations (see Experimental Procedures). The values provided are the mean ± SEM of n cells. The protonation state of each SF residue is indicated in parentheses, with x designating an uncharged residue.
