Figure 1.

Mutations in the N-lobe and C-lobe of CaM affect the currents of hSK2 expressed in HEK 293 cells. (A) hSK2 channels were coexpressed with CaMWT or mutant CaMs (CaM1,2, CaM3,4, or CaM1,2,3,4). Current was recorded before (black trace) and after (red trace) application of apamin (10 nM). (B) Summary data at +60 and −120 mV indicating significant reduction of the SK currents by mutant CaMs (n = 12 cells; *, P < 0.05). (C and D) hSK2 channels were coexpressed with CaMWT (black bars), CaMN54I (red bars), CaMF90L (green bars), CaMD96V (blue bars), CaMN98S (cyan bars), and CaMD130G (magenta bars). (C) Current was recorded before (black trace) and after (red trace) application of apamin (10 nM). (D) Summary data at −120 mV and +60 mV (n = 10–13 cells; *, P < 0.05). For B and D, the colors of the asterisks denote comparisons with the corresponding bar graphs of the same colors, using one-way ANOVA combined with Tukey's test (at −120 mV, P = 0.00001 for all pairwise comparisons except P = 0.04 for CaMN54I versus CaMD96V, and P = NS for CaMD96V versus CaMD130G and CaMWT versus CaMF90L; at +60 mV, P = 0.00001 for all pairwise comparisons except P= NS for CaMD96V versus CaMD130G). Data shown represents mean ± SEM.
