Single channel currents from purified CRCs incorporated into planar lipid bilayers were recorded in 250 mM KCl media. Addition of IpTxa in nanomolar concentration to the cytosolic (cis) side, but not to the lumenal (trans) side, induced substates in both ryanodine receptor isoforms. The substates displayed a slightly rectifying current\u2013voltage relationship. The chord conductance at \u221240 mV was \u223c43% of the full conductance, whereas it was \u223c28% at a holding potential of +40 mV. The substate formation by IpTxa was voltage and concentration dependent. Analysis of voltage and concentration dependence and kinetics of substate formation suggested that IpTxa reversibly binds to the CRC at a single site in the voltage drop across the channel. The rate constant for IpTxa binding to the skeletal muscle CRC increased e-fold per +53 mV and the rate constant of dissociation decreased e-fold per +25 mV applied holding potential. The effective valence of the reaction leading to the substate was \u223c1.5. The IpTxa binding site was calculated to be located at \u223c23% of the voltage drop from the cytosolic side. IpTxa induced substates in the ryanodine-modified skeletal CRC and increased or reduced [3H]ryanodine binding to sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles depending on the level of channel activation. These results suggest that IpTxa induces subconductance states in skeletal and cardiac muscle Ca2+ release channels by binding to a single, cytosolically accessible site different from the ryanodine binding site.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1085\/jgp.111.5.679","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,26]],"date-time":"2002-07-26T12:50:20Z","timestamp":1027687820000},"page":"679-690","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1085\/jgp.crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":80,"title":["Imperatoxin A Induces Subconductance States in Ca2+ Release Channels (Ryanodine Receptors) of Cardiac and Skeletal Muscle"],"prefix":"10.1085","volume":"111","author":[{"given":"Ashutosh","family":"Tripathy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the *Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, and Department of Physiology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599; and \u2021Department of Physiology, University of Wisconsin Medical School, Madison, Wisconsin 53706"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wolfgang","family":"Resch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the *Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, and Department of Physiology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599; and \u2021Department of Physiology, University of Wisconsin Medical School, Madison, Wisconsin 53706"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"family":"Le Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the *Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, and Department of Physiology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599; and \u2021Department of Physiology, University of Wisconsin Medical School, Madison, Wisconsin 53706"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hector H.","family":"Valdivia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the *Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, and Department of Physiology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599; and \u2021Department of Physiology, University of Wisconsin Medical School, Madison, Wisconsin 53706"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gerhard","family":"Meissner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the *Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, and Department of Physiology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599; and \u2021Department of Physiology, University of Wisconsin Medical School, Madison, Wisconsin 53706"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"291","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1998,5,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023072611483065200_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"317","DOI":"10.1085\/jgp.91.3.317","article-title":"Charybdotoxin inhibition of Ca2+-activated K+channels.
