Methanethiosulfonate reagent inhibition is voltage-dependent inhibition. The MTSET inhibition of the V1763C (A) and Y1767C (B) mutants was examined while varying the holding potential between –140 and –100 mV. Standard test pulses to –10 mV for 20 ms were applied at 5 s intervals to assess current amplitude. The test currents were normalized to the current measured immediately after break-in. Plotted are the normalized currents for the V1763C and Y1767C mutants in the absence and presence of 1 mM internal MTSET. Holding at a more depolarized voltage (–100 mV) accelerated the onset of the MTSET inhibition by comparison to the –140 mV holding potential. The data are the means and SEM of the V1763C Control (n = 9), V1763C MTSET (n = 4), Y1767C control (n = 9), and Y1767C MTSET (n = 14).
