Single canine cardiac ryanodine receptor channels were incorporated into planar lipid bilayers. Single-channel currents were sampled at 1-5 kHz and filtered at 0.2-1.0 kHz. Channel incorporations were obtained in symmetrical solutions (20 mM HEPES-Tris, pH 7.4, and pCa 5). Unitary Ca2+ currents were monitored when 2-30 mM Ca2+ was added to the lumenal side of the channel. The relationship between the amplitude of unitary Ca2+ current (at 0 mV holding potential) and lumenal [Ca2+] was hyperbolic and saturated at approximately 4 pA. This relationship was then defined in the presence of different symmetrical CsCH3SO3 concentrations (5, 50, and 150 mM). Under these conditions, unitary current amplitude was 1.2 +/- 0.1, 0.65 +/- 0.1, and 0.35 +/- 0.1 pA in 2 mM lumenal Ca2+; and 3.3 +/- 0.4, 2.4 +/- 0. 2, and 1.63 +/- 0.2 pA in 10 mM lumenal Ca2+ (n &gt; 6). Unitary Ca2+ current was also defined in the presence of symmetrical [Mg2+] (1 mM) and low [Cs+] (5 mM). Under these conditions, unitary Ca2+ current in 2 and 10 mM lumenal Ca2+ was 0.66 +/- 0.1 and 1.52 +/- 0.06 pA, respectively. In the presence of higher symmetrical [Cs+] (50 mM), Mg2+ (1 mM), and lumenal [Ca2+] (10 mM), unitary Ca2+ current exhibited an amplitude of 0.9 +/- 0.2 pA (n = 3). This result indicates that the actions of Cs+ and Mg2+ on unitary Ca2+ current were additive. These data demonstrate that physiological levels of monovalent cation and Mg2+ effectively compete with Ca2+ as charge carrier in cardiac ryanodine receptor channels. If lumenal free Ca2+ is 2 mM, then our results indicate that unitary Ca2+ current under physiological conditions should be &lt;0.6 pA.
