Abstract

Patch recordings from Xenopus oocytes indicated that mechanically gated (MG) channels are expressed at a uniform surface density (∼1 channel μm−2) with an estimated > 3 × 106 MG channels per oocyte that could generate microamps of current at ±50 mV. Removal of external Ca2+ induced a membrane conductance that differed from MG channels in ion selectivity, pharmacology and sensitivity to connexion‐38. Depolarization to +50 mV activated a Na+‐selective, a Cl−‐selective and a non‐selective conductance. Hyperpolarization to −150 mV activated a non‐selective conductance. None of these conductances appeared to be mediated by MG channels. Hypotonicity (25 %) failed to evoke any change in membrane conductance in the majority of defolliculated oocytes. Hypertonicity (200 %) evoked a large non‐selective (PK/PCl≈ 1) membrane conductance that was not blocked by 100 μM Gd3+. Although the above stimuli could activate a variety of whole‐oocyte conductances, including three novel conductances, they did not involve MG channel activation. Possible mechanisms underlying the discrepancy between observed conductances and those anticipated from patch‐clamp studies are discussed.
