1. Using transient calcium phosphate transfection into the human embryonic kidney tsa-201 cell line and subsequent whole-cell patch-clamp protocols, we examined the tonic modulation of cloned N- and P/Q-type calcium channels by fire different G protein beta subunits via strong depolarizing voltage prepulses.2. For N- and P/Q-type channels, the magnitude of inhibition was dependent on the G(beta) subtype co-expressed.3. Both the absolute and relative magnitudes of G(beta) subunit-induced inhibition of P/Q-type channels differed from those observed with the N-type channel.4. For each calcium channel subtype, kinetics of both the prepulse-mediated recovery from inhibition and the re-inhibition following the prepulse were examined for each of the G(beta) subunits by varying either the duration between the pre- and the test pulse or the length of the prepulse5. For each channel subtype, we observed a differential G(beta) subunit rank order with regard to the rates of re-inhibition and recovery from inhibition.6. On average, P/Q-type channels exhibited more rapid rates of recovery from inhibition than those observed with N-type channels.7. Different G(beta) subtypes mediated different degrees of slowing of activation kinetics.8. The differential modulation of P/Q- and N-type channels by various G(beta) subtypes may provide a mechanism for fine tuning the amount of calcium entering the presynaptic nerve termini.
