Extracellular ATP (ATPo) and adenosine activate G protein-gated inwardly rectifying K+ currents in atrial cells. Earlier studies have suggested that the two agonists may use separate pathways to activate the K+ current. Therefore, we examined whether the K+ channels activated by the two agonists have different properties under identical ionic conditions. In cell-attached patches, K+ channels activated by 100 microM ATP in the pipette had a single-channel conductance and mean open time of 32.0 +/- 0.2 pS and 0.5 +/- 0.1 ms, respectively, compared with 31.3 +/- 0.3 pS and 0.9 +/- 0.1 ms for the K+ channels activated by adenosine (140 mM KCl). With ATPo as the agonist, the K+ channel activity in cell-attached patches was approximately threefold lower than that in inside-out patches with 100 microM GTP in the bath. Applying ATP to the cytoplasmic side of the membrane (ATPi) produced a biphasic concentration-dependent effect on channel activity: an increase at low [mean affinity constant (K0.5) = 190 microM] and a decrease at high (K0.5 = 1.3 mM) concentrations. In contrast, with adenosine as the agonist, K+ channel activity in cell-attached patches was approximately fourfold greater than that in inside-out patches with 100 microM GTP in the bath. In inside-out patches, ATPi only augmented the K+ channel activity (K0.5 = 32 microM). These results show that although both ATPo and adenosine activate kinetically similar K+ channels in atrial cells, the channels are regulated differently by intracellular nucleotides.
