The IQ Motif is Crucial for Ca v 1.1 Function

Figure 1

Ca2+-binding ability of CaM does not affect skeletal muscle EC coupling. (a) The average peak current density ( ) is plotted as a function of membrane potential ( ). Data were obtained from the indicated number of myotubes for each group. The smooth lines through the data were generated by using equation (1) (see Methods) and the average values. (b) The average peak fluorescence ( ) is plotted as a function of membrane potential ( ). Data were obtained from the indicated number of myotubes for each group. The smooth lines through data represent Boltzmann fits to the average data using equation (3) (see Methods).
