SLO-1 potassium channels control quantal content of neurotransmitter release at the C. elegans neuromuscular junction.

Neuron - 6 Dec 2001

Wang Z W, Saifee O, Nonet M L, Salkoff L

Abstract excerpt

Six mutants of SLO-1, a large-conductance, Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channel of C. elegans, were obtained in a genetic screen for regulators of neurotransmitter release. Mutants were isolated by their ability to suppress lethargy of an unc-64 syntaxin mutant that restricts neurotransmitter release. We measured evoked postsynaptic currents at the neuromuscular junction in both wild-type and mutants and observed that...
