ABSTRACT

A comparison is made of two types of chloride-selective channel in skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) vesicles incorporated into lipid bilayers. The I/V relationships of both channels, in 250/50 mM Cl- (cis/trans), were linear between -20 and +60 mV (cis potential,) reversed near Ecl and had slope conductances of approximately 250 pS for the big chloride (BCl) channel and approximately 70 pS for the novel, small chloride (SCl) channel. The protein composition of vesicles indicated that both channels originated from longitudinal SR and terminal cisternae. BCl and SCl channels responded differently to cis SO4(2-) (30-70 mM), 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene 2,2'-disulfonic acid (8-80 microM) and to bilayer potential. The BCl channel open probability was high at all potentials, whereas SCl channels exhibited time-dependent activation and inactivation at negative potentials and deactivation at positive potentials. The duration and frequency of SCl channel openings were minimal at positive potentials and maximal at -40 mV, and were stationary during periods of activity. A substate analysis was performed using the Hidden Markov Model (S. H. Chung, J. B. Moore, L. Xia, L. S. Premkumar, and P. W. Gage, 1990, Phil. Trans. R. Soc. Lond. B., 329:265-285) and the algorithm EVPROC (evaluated here). SCl channels exhibited transitions between 5 and 7 conductance levels. BCl channels had 7-13 predominant levels plus many more short-lived substates. SCl channels have not been described in previous reports of Cl- channels in skeletal muscle SR.
