Kinetics of the receptor current in bullfrog saccular hair cells
D P Corey et al. J Neurosci. 1983 May.
Abstract
The receptor current of hair cells from the bullfrog's sacculus was measured by voltage clamp recording across the isolated sensory epithelium. Several hundred hair cells were stimulated en masse by moving the overlying otolithic membrane with a piezoelectrically activated probe. As measured by optical recording of otolithic membrane motion, the step displacement stimuli reached their final amplitudes of up to 1 micrometer within 100 microseconds. The relationship between displacement and steady-state receptor current is an asymmetric, sigmoidal curve about 0.5 micrometer in extent. The time constant of the approach to steady state depends upon the magnitude of the hair bundle displacement and ranges from 100 to 500 microseconds at 4 degrees C; the time course is faster with larger displacements or at higher temperatures. Both the displacement-response curve and the kinetics of the response are changed by alterations in the Ca2+ concentration at the apical surface of the cells. The characteristics of the response are not consistent with simple models for the transduction process that involve enzymatic regulation of channel proteins or diffusible second messengers. Mechanical stimulation is instead posited to act directly by altering the free energy difference between the open and closed forms of the transduction channel, thereby inducing a redistribution between these states. The dependences of the response kinetics on displacement and on temperature suggest that the thermal interconversion between open and closed transduction channels is limited by an enthalpy of activation of about 12 kcal/mol.
