| Abstract | Transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7) channels were originally identified electrophysiologically when depletion of cytosolic Mg2+ resulted in the gradual development of an outwardly rectifying cation current. Conversely, inclusion of millimolar Mg2+ in internal solutions prevented activation of these channels in whole cell patch clamp. We recently demonstrated that the Jurkat T-cell whole cell TRPM7 channels are inhibited by internal Mg2+ in a biphasic manner, displaying high [IC50(1) ≈ 10 μM] and low [IC50(2) ≈ 165 μM] affinity inhibitor sites. In that study, we had characterized the dependence of the maximum cell current density on intracellular Mg2+ concentration. To characterize Mg2+ inhibition in Jurkat T cells in more detail and compare it to whole cell results, we recorded single TRPM7 channels in cell-free membrane patches and investigated the dependence of their activity on Mg2+ added on the cytoplasmic side. We systematically varied free Mg2+ from 265 nM to 407 μM and evaluated the extent of channel inhibition in inside-out patch for 58 patches. We found that the TRPM7 channel shows two conductance levels of 39.0 pS (γ1) and 18.6 pS (γ2) and that both are reversibly inhibited by internal Mg2+. The 39.0-pS conductance is the dominant state of the channel, observed most frequently in this recording configuration. The dose-response relation in inside-out patches shows a steeper Mg2+ dependence than in whole cell, yielding IC50(1) of 25.1 μM and IC50(2) of 91.2 μM.. Single-channel analysis shows that the primary effect of Mg2+ in multichannel patches is a reversible reduction of the number of conducting channels (No). Additionally, at high Mg2+ concentrations, we observed a saturating 20% reduction in unitary conductance (γ1). Thus Mg2+ inhibition in whole cell can be explained by a drop in individual participating channels and a modest reduction in conductance. We also found that TRPM7 channels in some patches were not sensitive to this ion at submaximal Mg2+ concentrations. Interestingly, Mg2+ inhibition showed the property of use dependence: with repeated applications, Mg2+ effect became gradually more potent, which suggests that Mg2+ sensitivity of the channel is a dynamic characteristic that depends on other membrane factors. |

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.
