| Abstract | Mammalian taste cells of the type II release ATP, an afferent neurotransmitter, by employing unselective ATP-permeable ion channels. The molecular identity of these channels is not known with confidence, although evidence implicates certain channel proteins from the connexin and pannexin families as most likely candidates. Here we carried out the comparative analysis of biophysical features and pharmacological profiles of unselective channels operative in type II cells and recombinant pannexin 1 (Panx1), which was cloned from the taste tissue and heterologously expressed in eukaryotic cells of several lines, including HEK-293, CHO, and neuroblastoma SK-N-SH. Integral currents mediated by Panx1 hemichannels were recorded to elucidate their kinetics characteristics, such as activation and deactivation, voltage dependence, and sensitivity to a variety of blockers, including carbenoxolone, DIDS, and NPPB. It was shown that the heterologous expression of Panx1 in cells of each type induced specific conductance, which exhibited outward rectification and was effectively blockable with carbenoxolone and anionic channel blockers DIDS and NPPB. Panx1 activity was studied at the single channel level as well. As was found, transfection of HEK-293 cells with the plasmid harboring cDNA encoding Panx1 gave rise to single channel current-like events in excised patches that were inhibited by 20 μM carbenoxolone, the relatively specific blocker of Panx1. These carbenoxolone-sensitive channels were peculiar in that single-channel current versus membrane voltage was not linear but exhibited outward rectification. In addition, the open-channel probability strongly increased with membrane voltage. Taken together, the data obtained here and earlier demonstrate clearly that by their biophysical and pharmacological features, ATP-permeable channels operative in type II cells are rather distinct from recombinant Panx1 hemichannels, thus arguing against Panx1 as the main conduit of ATP release in taste cells. |

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.
