BackgroundThe nAcChoR is the prototypical member of a superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels that are all relevant targets of anesthetics and undergo desensitization upon prolonged exposure to agonist. This study was designed to investigate the effects of representative normal alcohols on the apparent rate of acetylcholine-induced nAcChoR desensitization.MethodsNicotinic acetylcholine receptors were obtained from the electroplax organ of Torpedo nobiliana. The apparent rate of acetylcholine-induced desensitization in the presence and absence of normal alcohols was measured using stopped-flow fluorescence.ResultsNormal alcohols as long as octanol (the longest studied) increased the apparent rate of desensitization induced by low concentrations of acetylcholine, shifting the agonist concentration-response curve for desensitization to the left Ethanol butanol, and, to a lesser extent, hexanol increased the maximal rate of desensitization induced by high, saturating concentrations of agonist. Beyond hexanol, heptanol and octanol had no effect on this maximal apparent rate of desensitization, even at concentrations that approach those that directly induce desensitization in the absence of agonist.ConclusionNormal alcohols ranging from ethanol to octanol increase the apparent affinity of nAcChoR for agonist with potencies that are proportional to their hydrophobicities. However, normal alcohol effects on the rate constant for desensitization show a cutoff beyond hexanoL This suggests that the effects of normal alcohols on the apparent agonist affinity and rate constant for desensitization of nAcChoR may be modulated by distinct sites that have different steric constraints; the site (s) responsible for increasing the maximal rate of desensitization are predicted to be smaller than those that increase the apparent agonist affinity.
