Figure Lengend Snippet: The γENaC-G532S mutation decreases the ENaC sodium current. (A) Current traces of αβγENaC-WT (top) and αβγENaC-G532S (bottom) are shown during exposure to the solutions indicated by the horizontal bars, at a holding potential of −80 mV. The left and right representative traces result from the protocol measuring amiloride-sensitive current; middle traces show currents measured during exposure to 5 μg/mL trypsin. The current amplitude scale is the same for the 6 traces, as indicated. (B) Amiloride-sensitive currents (I Na ) measured in oocytes expressing αβγENaC-WT ( n = 31) or αβγENaC-G532S ( n = 57), measured before, during, and after treatment with trypsin. *** p < 0.001, Kruskal–Wallis’s one-way ANOVA test, followed by the Dunn’s multiple comparison test. (C) Normalized amiloride-sensitive currents. The current amplitudes recorded from a given batch of oocytes were normalized to the average ENaC-WT amplitude of that batch for this analysis. (D) Fold increase in I Na measured after treatment with trypsin: in each oocyte, the amiloride-sensitive current amplitude after trypsin exposure was normalized to that measured before trypsin. (E) Amiloride-sensitive currents (I Na ), peak and plateau, measured during treatment with trypsin. *** p < 0.001, Kruskal–Wallis’s one-way ANOVA test, followed by the Dunn’s multiple comparison test. (F) I peak /I plateau of amiloride-sensitive current during trypsin treatment was calculated in each oocyte by normalizing the transient peak amplitude to the corresponding plateau current. (C,D,F) Mann–Whitney’s U -test was performed for statistical analysis. (B–F) Bars represent the mean ± SEM. Note that all data of this figure are from oocytes injected with RNA encoding the three subunits α, β and γ, αβγENaC-WT or αβγENaC-G532S.
