Fig. 7. Disruption of syntaxin 1A and CFTR interactions does not alter the biophysical properties of CFTR; however, open probability increases significantly. (A) Representative single-channel traces of CFTR in 16HBE14o- cells prior to and after addition of 350 nM GST-Syn1A{Delta}C or 350 nM GST-Syn1A{Delta}H3 to the cytoplasmic face of inside-out patches. (B) The single-channel conductance for currents in the presence or absence of GST-Syn1A{Delta}C or GST-Syn1A{Delta}H3 was 6 pS. The vertical bars are s.e.m. (n ranged from 1 to 8 at each measured potential). (C) Mean open time ({tau}o) and mean closed times ({tau}c) prior to and after disruption of syntaxin-1A-CFTR interaction by Syn1A{Delta}C. {tau}o (~250 mseconds) was unaffected whereas {tau}c decreased from 1.95 seconds to 480 mseconds. (D) Open probability (Po) in the absence and presence of GST-Syn1A{Delta}C was 0.03±0.03 and 0.17±0.05, respectively (n=5 (P<0.05)). Po remained unchanged from 0.07±0.03 to 0.04±0.02 following the addition of the negative control fusion peptide, GST-Syn1A{Delta}H3 (n=6).
