| Abstract | 1. A cloned inwardly rectifying K+ channel, IRK2, was expressed in a human cell line, human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293T. Its electrophysiological properties were examined using the patch clamp technique in the whole-cell, cell-attached and inside-out patch configurations. 2. The cells transfected with IRK2 cDNA exhibited a K+ current which showed classical properties of inwardly rectifying K+ channels at both whole-cell and single-channel levels. 3. In the inside-out patch configuration, intracellular Mg2+ (Mg2+i blocked the outward currents in a voltage-dependent and virtually time-independent manner. Mg2+i (1-100 microM) caused a decrease in the unitary current amplitude of the IRK2 channel by inducing subconducting levels. 4. In the absence of Mg2+i, intracellular spermine blocked the outwardly flowing IRK2 currents in a voltage- and time-dependent manner. Spermine (1-100 nM) did not affect the unitary channel current amplitude but reduced the channel open probability. The spermine block showed a slower time and steeper voltage dependence than the Mg2+i++ block. 5. When both these blockers were present, Mg2+i apparently attenuated the inhibitory effect of spermine on the outwardly flowing IRK2 currents. This interaction was voltage and time dependent, and could be well explained by a model in which Mg2+i and spermine competitively bind to the channel with their individual first-order kinetics. This competition would induce time-dependent transits of the channel between the Mg2+i -and spermine-blocked states via a single open state, thereby preserving a certain size of persistent outward currents at depolarized potentials. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
