title: Intracellular ADP-ribose inhibits ATP-sensitive K+ channels in rat ventricular myocytes.
abstract: Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), an NAD metabolite, has been shown to be a messenger for Ca2+ mobilization from intracellular Ca2+ stores. However, the physiological role of ADP-ribose (ADPR), another metabolite of NAD, is not known. We examined the effects of cADPR and ADPR on the ATP-sensitive K+ channel (KATP) activity in rat ventricular myocytes by use of the inside-out patch-clamp configuration. ADPR, but not cADPR, inhibited the channel activity at micromolar range with an inhibitor constant (Ki) of 38.4 microM. The Hill coefficient was 0.9. ATP inhibited the K+ channel with a Ki of 77.8 microM, and the Hill coefficient was 1.8. Single-channel conductance was not affected by ADPR. These findings strongly suggest that ADPR may act as a regulator of KATP channel activity.
