SCN MFs induce AMF-like behavior on the apparent Ca 2+ sensitivity of WT TMEM16A. (A) Examples of macroscopic currents induced by applying increasing [Ca2+]i (indicated at the top of the panel) to the cytosolic side of four different inside-out patches held at +80 mV. The extracellular side of the patches was exposed to 0.25 (olive, n = 9), 0.5 (orange, n = 7), 0.75 (green, n = 5), or 1 (blue, n = 6) SCN MF. [Cl]i = 40 mM, pHe = pHi = 7.3. (B) Concentration–response curves constructed with the current magnitudes obtained with 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1 SCN MF shown in A. Continuous lines are fits of Hill equation, used to determine EC50 and nH coefficient. (C) Relationship between SCN MF present on the extracellular side of the patch and the EC50 (black) and nH (blue) parameters. **, Ca2+ EC50 values are statistically different (P = 0.01) from the Ca2+ EC50 value calculated in 0 SCN MF. The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA with a Tukey’s post-hoc test. The gray curve shows the Ca2+ EC50 versus SCN MF at +100 mV (n > 7). nH values were between 1.79 and 2.17.
