Figure Legend Snippet: Transcriptional profiling of Cx30.2-lacZ + cells identifies MyoR as an AVC-enriched transcript. (A) Strategy used for purifying E12.5 Cx30.2-lacZ + AVC cells by flow cytometry. (B) Partial list of genes found to be enriched in microarray analysis. Fold enrichment refers to transcript levels in Cx30.2-lacZ + cells relative to lacZ -null cells. Note that MyoR transcripts were 7-fold more abundant in Cx30.2-lacZ + cells within the E12.5 heart. (C) qRT-PCR analysis of microdissected E10.5 AVC tissue demonstrating enrichment of MyoR. Fold enrichment refers to transcript levels in dissected AVC tissue versus whole heart. (D) Developmental analysis of MyoR expression by qRT-PCR analysis. MyoR expression in the whole heart at a particular time point relative to E10.5 is shown. MyoR transcripts were found to peak during late gestation (E16.5). (E) qRT-PCR analysis of MyoR expression level in Cx30.2-EGFP + AVC cells isolated at E16.5. MyoR expression is shown relative to transcript levels in EGFP − AVC cells. (F) Western blot analysis of AVC and ventricular nuclear extracts dissected from E16.5 embryos (top) with the indicated antibodies. Band quantitation and normalization demonstrated ∼14-fold enrichment of MyoR in the E16.5 AVC relative to ventricular tissue. (G) Immunostaining of consecutive sections through an E16.5 Cx30.2-EGFP heart for GFP, Gata4, Hcn4, and MyoR, demonstrating localization of Cx30.2, Gata4, and MyoR to the Hcn4 + AVN (dashed outline). All sections were counterstained with DAPI to stain cell nuclei. Scale bar, 20 μm. LV, left ventricle; RV, right ventricle; FDG, fluorescein digalactopyranoside; AVC, atrioventricular canal; AVN, atrioventricular node.

Figure Legend Snippet: A C-terminal-truncated HCN2 (HCN2ΔC) protein forms heteromeric channels with HCN4 in HEK-293 cells. A , representative recordings obtained from (wild type or HCN4) expressing HEK-293 cells following transient transfection with cDNA constructs encoding the full-length HCN2 or the C-terminal HCN2 truncation in mutant, HCN2ΔC. Representative currents in HEK-293 cells stably expressing HCN4 are also illustrated. In each case, currents evoked during 3 s hyperpolarizing voltage steps to test potentials between −130 and −60 mV from a holding potential of −40 mV are illustrated; the voltage clamp paradigm is illustrated below the records. B , peak currents at each test potential in each cell were measured and normalized to the maximal peak current recorded in the same cell, and mean ± S.E. normalized peak currents are plotted as a function of the test potential; the individual curves were fitted to the Boltzmann equation (see “Materials and Methods”). Mean ± S.E. voltages (V 1/2 ) of half-maximal current activation ( C ) and activation time constants ( D ) are illustrated; n values are presented above the bars (*, p

Figure Legend Snippet: Co-immunoprecipitation of HCN2 and HCN4 from adult (mouse) heart. Proteins were isolated from adult mouse heart and immunoprecipitations ( IPs ) were performed with the rabbit IgG ( control ), anti-N-HCN4 ( A ), or anti-N2-HCN2 ( B ) polyclonal antibody. Following the immunoprecipitations, proteins were eluted from the beads, fractionated on polyacrylamide (SDS-PAGE) gels, and Western blots ( IB ) were performed using either the anti-N2-HCN2 ( A ) or the anti-N-HCN4 ( B ) polyclonal antibody. Either HCN2 protein bands or HCN4 protein bands were indicated by a closed arrow . IgG bands were indicated by an open arrow . Although full-length (160 kDa) HCN4 protein was readily identified in the heart lysate, i.e. prior to the immunoprecipitation ( lane 4 ) and in the (immunoprecipitated) protein sample obtained following the immunoprecipitation with the anti-N2-HCN2 antibody ( B ), the anti-N2-HCN2 antibody detected only a single low molecular mass ∼60-kDA protein ( A ) in both the immunoprecipitated protein sample and in the Western blot of the whole heart lysate. No additional HCN2 ( A ) or HCN4 ( B ) proteins were observed in the samples obtained following further washing of the beads ( lanes A3 and B3 ). As is also evident, neither HCN2 ( A ) nor HCN4 ( B ) was immunoprecipitated using rabbit IgG ( lanes A1 and B1 ).

Figure Legend Snippet: Detection of full-length channel proteins in heart lysates. Proteins, isolated from HEK-293 cells stably expressing HCN4 and from adult mouse heart, were fractionated on SDS-PAGE gels and immunoblotted ( IB ) with the anti-N-HCN4 antibody ( A ) or the anti-C-HCN4 antibody ( B ). HCN4 and Nav1.5 protein bands were indicated by a closed arrow . A ∼160-kDa band was detected in samples from the HEK-293 cell line stably expressing HCN4 and in mouse heart. Nothing was detected in untransfected (wild type) HEK-293 cells with either of these (anti-HCN4) antibodies. C , similarly, a single, high molecular mass protein (at ∼250 kDa) was detected in lysates from adult mouse heart and from HEK-293 cells stably expressing Nav1.5, but not in extracts from untransfected HEK-293 cells.

Figure Legend Snippet: Electrophysiological Parameters of Pacemaker-like Cardiomyocytes Obtained from iSABs (A) Distribution of pacemaker cells as shown by single-cell patch-clamp and funny-channel measurements: > 81% of pacemaker-like cells were achieved; 19% of these represented immature pacemaker cells and the rest were mature pacemaker cells (n = 65). The data represent seven independent experiments and are presented as means ± SD. See also Tables S1–S3 . (B) Patch-clamp protocol. Voltage was applied to elicit the hyperpolarization-activated current for I f recordings from isolated iSAB cells. (C) Example of I f current, recorded from an isolated iSAB-derived cell. (D and E) Current density (D) and time constant of activation (E) at –130 mV, demonstrating a robust I f expression with slow activation kinetics typical of the HCN4 channel subtype and mature SA nodal I f (n = 17). The data represent three independent experiments and are presented as means ± SD. (F) Reaction to β-adrenergic (isoprotenerol) and muscarinic (carbachol) stimulation leads to typical accelerated versus decelerated AP rates. iSAB-derived cells show a pronounced response to isoprotenerol, with beating rates reaching up to 560 bpm. iSAB/Iso: n = 9; iSAB/Carb: n = 5. The data represent seven independent experiments and are presented as means ± SD. See also Figures S1 and S2 .
