The properties of depolarizationevoked calcium transients are known to change during the maturation of dissociated cerebellar granule neuron cultures. Here, we assessed the role of the calciuminduced calcium release (CICR) mechanism in granule neuron maturation. Both depletion of intracellular calci

The binding of [ 3 H]ryanodine was determined in microsomal membrane preparations obtained from cultured cerebellar granule cells. A K D of 1 nM and a B max of 64 fmol/mg protein were calculated from saturation experiments. This binding was calcium dependent and maximum values were obtained at 100-3
In the brain, the transient-inactivating voltage-gated potassium channel currents (called I K(A) or A-currents) are activated at subthreshold membrane potentials to control the excitability of neurons. In the current study, the effect of intracellular calcium on the A-current and the action mechanis
The protective action of Ca2+ and a series of other divalent cations on heat inactivation (48"C, 30 min) of ['251]~-conotoxin (CTX) binding sites was investigated in membranes prepared from rat forebrain. Moreover, the influence of GABA (500 pM) on this protection was studied. Binding of ['251]CTX a
