	Figure 1. Effects of mutation at E363 on CNG channel block by spermine. (A and B) Macroscopic I-V curves of wild-type and mutant E363G channels, respectively, in the absence and presence of various concentrations of intracellular spermine. (C and D) The fractions of unblocked currents of wild-type and mutant channels in the presence of various concentrations of spermine are plotted as a function of membrane voltage.
	Figure 2. Comparison of CNG channel block by intracellular spermine and putrescine. (A) I-V curves of the CNG channel in the absence and presence of 10 μM spermine (SPM). (B) The fraction of current not blocked by 10 μM spermine is plotted against membrane voltage. (C and E) I-V curves of the channel in the absence and presence of 10 mM of putrescine (PUT), over different voltage ranges. (D and F) The fractions of current not blocked by 10 mM putrescine, obtained from C and E, are plotted against membrane voltage.
	Figure 3. Effect of diamines on the current–voltage relationship of the CNG channel. I-V curves were obtained in the absence and presence of nine diamines (DMC2 through DMC10, labeled as C2 through C10) at the various concentrations indicated.
	Figure 4. Voltage dependence of CNG channel block by various diamines. The fraction of current not blocked by nine diamines (DMC2 through DMC10, labeled as C2 through C10) at various concentrations is plotted against membrane voltage.

	Figure 5. Intracellular pH dependence of CNG channel block by intracellular spermine. (A) I-V curves of the CNG channel in the absence and presence of 10 μM spermine at intracellular pH 7.6 and 8.6. Extracellular pH was 7.6 in both cases. (B) Ratios of the I-V curves at the corresponding pH, shown in A, are plotted against membrane voltage. The smooth curves were obtained by simultaneous fitting of the two data curves using . The values of all parameters obtained from fitting are: K1a = 0.51 ± 0.04 μM, Z1a = 3.0 ± 0.1, k−2a/k−1a = 8.5 ± 0.3, “z−2a+ z−1a” = 5.5 ± 0.1, K1b = 45.9 ± 0.9 μM; Z−1b = 1.8 ± 0.1, and pKa = 9.1 ± 0.1 (mean ± SEM, n = 3).

(B) The fractions of current not blocked by PhTx are plotted against membrane voltage. The curves superimposed on the data are fits of the Woodhull equation, I/Io = 1/(1 + [PhTx]/Kde−ZFV/RT. The Kd and Z determined from the fits are 2.8 ± 0.5 μM and 1.8 ± 0.3 (mean ± SEM, n = 4).
	Figure 9. A kinetic model for CNG channel block by diamines. (A) Reaction scheme. Ch represents the CNG channel, DMi and DMo denote intra- and extracellular diamines, and Ch·DMa and Ch·DMb denote the CNG channels blocked by DM in two conformations, respectively. Rate constants at 0 mV (kx or k−x) and the corresponding valence number (zx or z−x) are indicated. (B) Noisy experimental trace plots the fraction of current not blocked by 10 mM putrescine against membrane voltage. Curve a superimposed on the data is a fit of . The fit gives K1a = 2.0 mM, Z1a = 1.1, k−2a/k−1a = 2.0, “z−2a+ z−1a” = 1.9, K1b = 388.2 mM, and Z−1b = 0.5. The other three curves correspond to three hypothetical cases using the corresponding parameters from the fit, except that putrescine is assumed to act (b) as a pure high-affinity permeant blocker (K1b = ∞), (c) as a pure high-affinity non-permeant blocker (K1b = ∞ and k−2a = 0), or (d) as a low affinity nonpermeant blocker for curve d (K1a = ∞ and k−2b = 0).
	Figure 10. Summary of the fitting parameters obtained from analyzing the diamine-blocking curves. As illustrated in Fig. 4, all diamine-blocking curves were fitted with either or , depending on whether the fitted curve contains a second descending phase. The six adjustable parameters, plotted in A–F against number of methylene groups in the diamine chain, were K1a, Z1a, k−2a/k−1a, and “z−2a+ z−1a” needed in both equations, and K1b and Z1b needed in only. All parameters, obtained from the fits, are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 6–10).
