The "patch-clamp" method was applied to rat ventricular cardiomyocytes to study the effect of endogenous cardiopeptides (a component of a cardiologic medicine "cardialin") on single K(+)-channel currents. It was noted that ATP-sensitive K(+)-channel activity increased only in the presence of 10(-8)-10(-6) mg.ml-1 peptide solution in the patch-clamp micropipette. To check up the suggestion that G-protein takes part in a direct reaction of K(+)-channel by external ligand we studied the effect of GTP-gamma-S (0.1 mM) in the presence of Mg2+ (1 mM) on the K(+)-channel in "run-down" state in the "inside-out" configuration. It was demonstrated experimentally that reactivation of the ATP-sensitive K(+)-channel develops in the presence of GTP-analogue.
