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.

D008051 Lipid Bilayers Layers of lipid molecules which are two molecules thick. Bilayer systems are frequently studied as models of biological membranes. Bilayers, Lipid,Bilayer, Lipid,Lipid Bilayer
D008390 Markov Chains A stochastic process such that the conditional probability distribution for a state at any future instant, given the present state, is unaffected by any additional knowledge of the past history of the system. Markov Process,Markov Chain,Chain, Markov,Chains, Markov,Markov Processes,Process, Markov,Processes, Markov
D008564 Membrane Potentials The voltage differences across a membrane. For cellular membranes they are computed by subtracting the voltage measured outside the membrane from the voltage measured inside the membrane. They result from differences of inside versus outside concentration of potassium, sodium, chloride, and other ions across cells' or ORGANELLES membranes. For excitable cells, the resting membrane potentials range between -30 and -100 millivolts. Physical, chemical, or electrical stimuli can make a membrane potential more negative (hyperpolarization), or less negative (depolarization).
