The effect of PKA on the human long-NT and short-NT isoforms of Cav1.2. Schematics of human long-NT (a) and short-NT isoforms (e) indicating transmembrane repeats (RI-IV, grey bars) distinct exons 1a and 1b, and the amino (N) and carboxyl (C) terminals. (b,f) Immunoblots of the Cav1.2 channel protein indicated at ~240 kDa band probed with Anti-CaVpanα1 antibody. Anti-phosphoSer/Thr PKA substrate specific antibody (Anti-pS/pT) demonstrates phosphorylation after in vitro PKA phosphorylation (P). Subsequent dephosphorylation by PP2A (DP) removed the signal (C: control). Semi-quantitative western blot analysis demonstrated below (Rel. OD: relative optical density). Full-length blots are presented in Supplementary Figure 2. Representative single channel currents of the long-NT (c) and short-NT isoform (g) recorded at +150 mV in the absence (Con) and presence of PKA in the same patch (d,h) The current-voltage (I–V) relationship (right) and the mean ± SEM channel open probability (Po) for currents recorded in the absence and presence of PKA (left). n: number of single channel patches, vertical scale bar indicates 2 pA, horizontal bar indicates 100 ms. *p < 0.05 PKA vs Con.
