Abstrakt: The patch-clamp technique was used to demonstrate the presence of ATP-sensitive K(+) channels and Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels in lamprey ( Petromyzon marinus) red blood cell membrane. Whole-cell experiments indicated that the membrane current under isosmotic (285 mosmol l(-1)) conditions is carried by K(+). In the inside-out configuration an ATP-sensitive K(+) channel (70-80 pS inward, 35-40 pS outward) was present in 35% of patches. Application of ATP to the intracellular side reduced unitary current with half-maximal inhibition in the range 10-100 microM. A block was obtained with 100 microM lidocaine and inhibition was obtained with 0.5 mM barium acetate. A Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channel (25-30 pS inward, 10-15 pS outward) was present in 57% of patches. Inhibition was produced by 10 mM TEA and 500 nM apamin and sensitivity to Ba(2+) was lower than for ATP-sensitive channels. No spontaneous channel activity was recorded in the cell-attached configuration under isotonic conditions. With hypotonic saline 68% of patches showed spontaneous single-channel activity, and, of 75 active patches, 66 cell-attached patches showed channel activity corresponding to Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels.
