We reported previously that singlet oxygen (1O2), generated by illuminating the photosensitizer rose bengal (RB), suppressed the delayed rectifier potassium current (IK) in single frog atrial cells. Considering the brief lifetime of1O2, one might expect IKmodification to reach a steady-state soon after a brief exposure to RB-generated1O2. Here we report that, contrary to expectations, tens of seconds can be required for IKto reach a new steady-state. We will use the term “progression” to refer to the component of current modification which occurs after cessation of illumination. To gain insight into the mechanism of progression, we investigated how its time course and magnitude were affected by (1) membrane potential during and following RB illumination, and (2) the level of IKactivation during illumination. We found that conditions which favored the open state of the potassium channel also favored progression, increasing both its time course and magnitude. Illumination while IKwas activated produced significant progression having a very slow time course (tens of seconds). By comparison, illumination when IKwas not activated produced no progression; IKmodification was completed during the 2 s illumination period. These findings suggest progression results from the kinetics of potassium channel state transitions rather than from a long-lived reactive intermediate produced during the initial1O2exposure.
