M1 muscarinic stimulation induces fast inactivation of CaV2.2 current by eliciting transient and reversible translocation of the β2e subunit from membrane to cytosol. (A) Current inhibition of CaV2.2 channels by M1R activation with Oxo-M and current inactivation of CaV2.2 channels before Oxo-M and during Oxo-M addition in cells expressing β2a, β3, β2e, or N-del. Current traces for before (a) and during (b) Oxo-M addition were superimposed (inset). (B) Current inactivation with various β subunits was recorded during a 500-ms test pulse at 10 mV. Current traces before (black trace) and during (red trace) Oxo-M applications were scaled to the peak current amplitude (I0) and were superimposed. Dashed line indicates zero currents. (C) Summary of CaV2.2 current inhibition by M1R stimulation in cells expressing β2a (n = 4), β3 (n = 6), β2e (n = 8), or N-del (n = 9). ***, P < 0.001, compared with β2a and β2e, respectively. (D) Summary of current inactivation before and during Oxo-M application in cells expressing β2a (n = 6), β3 (n = 5), β2e (n = 5), or N-del (n = 5). *, P < 0.05, compared with control. Data are mean ± SEM.
