电压门控脂质离子通道

Voltage-gated lipid ion channels

Andreas Blicher, Thomas Heimburg

摘要:

合成脂质膜可以显示通道样离子传导事件,即使在蛋白质的情况下。我们在这里表明,这些事件是电压门控的二次电压依赖性,如预期的静电理论的电容器。为此,我们记录通道的痕迹和电流直方图在补丁实验脂质膜。我们推导出了一个理论上的电流-电压关系的脂质膜中的孔,描述了实验数据非常好,当假设一个不对称的膜。我们确定了闭合态和开放态之间的平衡常数以及开放概率作为电压的函数。脂质孔的电压依赖性被发现与蛋白质通道的电压依赖性相当。寿命分布的开放和关闭的事件表明,通道开放分布不遵循指数统计,而是幂律行为的开放时间长。

英文摘要:

Synthetic lipid membranes can display channel-like ion conduction events even in the absence of proteins. We show here that these events are voltage-gated with a quadratic voltage dependence as expected from electrostatic theory of capacitors. To this end, we recorded channel traces and current histograms in patch-experiments on lipid membranes. We derived a theoretical current-voltage relationship for pores in lipid membranes that describes the experimental data very well when assuming an asymmetric membrane. We determined the equilibrium constant between closed and open state and the open probability as a function of voltage. The voltage-dependence of the lipid pores is found comparable to that of protein channels. Lifetime distributions of open and closed events indicate that the channel open distribution does not follow exponential statistics but rather power law behavior for long open times.
