1. The effects of external divalent cations on odor-dependent, cyclic AMP-activated single-channel currents from olfactory receptor neurons of the tiger salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum) were studied in inside-out membrane patches taken from dendritic regions of freshly isolated sensory cells. 2. Channels were reversibly activated by 100 microM cyclic AMP. In the absence of divalent cations, the channel had a linear current-voltage relation giving a conductance of 45 pS. With increasing concentrations of either Ca2+ or Mg2+ in the external solution, the channel displayed a rapid flickering behavior. At higher concentrations of divalent cations, the transitions were too rapid to be fully resolved and appeared as a reduction in mean unitary single-channel current amplitude. 3. This effect was voltage dependent, and on analysis was shown to be due to an open channel block by divalent ions. In the case of Mg2+, the block increased steadily with hyperpolarization. In contrast, for Ca2+ the block first increased with hyperpolarization and then decreased with further hyperpolarization beyond -70 mV, providing evidence for Ca2+ permeation of this channel. 4. This block is similar to that seen in voltage-gated calcium channels. Additionally, the cyclic nucleotide-gated channel shows some pharmacological similarities with L-type calcium channels, including a novel block of the cyclic nucleotide channel by nifedipine (50 microM). 5. Our results indicate that the sensory generator current simultaneously depends on the presence of the second messenger and on the membrane potential of the olfactory neuron.

In these brief notes we document work using published microarray data (1, 2) to pioneer integrative transcriptome analysis comparing vulvar carcinoma to its tissue of origin, the vulva. We report the differential expression of cyclic nucleotide gated channel beta 1, encoded by CNGB1, in cancer of the vulva. CNGB1 may be of pertinence to understanding transformation and disease progression in vulvar cancer (3).

The sympathetic nervous system increases heart rate by activating β adrenergic receptors and increasing cAMP levels in myocytes in the sinoatrial node. The molecular basis for this response is not well understood; however, the cardiac funny current (If) is thought to be among the end effectors for cAMP signaling in sinoatrial myocytes. If is produced by hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide–sensitive (HCN4) channels, which can be potentiated by direct binding of cAMP to a conserved cyclic nucleotide binding domain in the C terminus of the channels. β adrenergic regulation of If in the sinoatrial node is thought to occur via this direct binding mechanism, independent of phosphorylation. Here, we have investigated whether the cAMP-activated protein kinase (PKA) can also regulate sinoatrial HCN4 channels. We found that inhibition of PKA significantly reduced the ability of β adrenergic agonists to shift the voltage dependence of If in isolated sinoatrial myocytes from mice. PKA also shifted the voltage dependence of activation to more positive potentials for heterologously expressed HCN4 channels. In vitro phosphorylation assays and mass spectrometry revealed that PKA can directly phosphorylate at least 13 sites on HCN4, including at least three residues in the N terminus and at least 10 in the C terminus. Functional analysis of truncated and alanine-substituted HCN4 channels identified a PKA regulatory site in the distal C terminus of HCN4, which is required for PKA modulation of If. Collectively, these data show that native and expressed HCN4 channels can be regulated by PKA, and raise the possibility that this mechanism could contribute to sympathetic regulation of heart rate.
