1 Whole‐cell current responses to brief flashes were obtained from voltage‐clamped ‘on’ bipolar cells in dark‐adapted dogfish retinal slices. When internal Ca2+ was buffered to low levels, the current‐voltage (I‐V) relation of their flash responses was linear, with a reversal potential near 0 mV. 2 On elevating internal Ca2+ the light‐dependent I‐V relation showed outward rectification, such that the current response to a flash decreased e‐fold for a hyperpolarization of 22 mV. 3 Inclusion of a CaMKII inhibitory peptide in the patch‐pipette solution removed the rectification even in the presence of 50 μm Ca2+. 4 These results are consistent with CaMKII phosphorylation of cGMP‐activated channels leading to a voltage‐dependent reduction in conductance (outward rectification) and a reduced light response. The voltage‐dependent property suggests that phosphorylation creates an energy barrier near the outer part of the channel, reducing the flow principally of monovalent cations. 5 This is the first reported instance of CaMKII phosphorylation acting to change the electrical characteristics of a membrane channel from linear to rectifying. 6 Ca2+‐dependent desensitization by background light and channel rectification may underlie the change in centre‐surround organization of the visual system with light adaptation.
