Figure Legend Snippet: Mitochondrial calcium uptake is impaired by Paxilline and by genetic ablation of β1-subunit A) Paxilline reduces the amount of mitochondrial Ca 2+ necessary to induce formation and opening of mPTP. B) Mitochondria from the β1 KO required less Ca 2+ than mitochondria from the Wt to trigger the opening of mPTP.

Techniques Used:

Figure Legend Snippet: MitoBK Ca alpha and auxiliary β1 subunit association in cardiac mitochondria. A) Immunoprecipitation (IP) of BK Ca alpha and BK-β1 subunit with an antibody against BK Ca ). Taken together, these results indicates an association between mitoBK Ca and its auxiliary β1 subunit. Having demonstrated this, we characterized the biophysical properties of mitoBK Ca in Wt and β1-KO cardiac mitoplasts. B) Single-channel currents of mitoBK Ca recorded from Wt mitoplasts. The P o of the channel was 0.9 ± 0.08, n=4, in average at +80 mV and the indicated matrix Ca 2+ . C) Representative traces of a mitoplast from the β1 KO, were no single-channel current was detected at the indicated voltages and matrix Ca 2+ (upper traces). Few mitoplasts (5 out of 28, mitoplasts, n=5 hearts) showed mitoBK Ca channel activity with a P o of 0.4 ± 0.004, n=3 at +40 mV in the indicated matrix Ca 2+ . D) Plots of I vs. V at 12 µM matrix Ca 2+ from Wt and β1 KO mitoplasts (data from 6 and 3 patches, respectively). A slope conductance of 302±26 (n=4) and 335 ±15 pS (n=3) was calculated for Wt and β1 KO, respectively. E) Plots of P o vs. V for mitoBK Ca channels, data points represent the average of 4 and 3 mitoplasts for Wt and BK-β1 KO, respectively. Bars SEM.
