T-type channels are low-voltage-activated channels that play a role in the cardiovascular system particularly for pacemaker activity. Glycosylation is one of the most prevalent post-translational modifications in protein. Among various glycosylation types, the most common one is asparagine-linked (N-linked) glycosylation. The aim of this study was to elucidate the roles of N-linked glycosylation for the gating properties of the CaV3.1-T-type Ca2+ channel. N-linked glycosylation synthesis inhibitor tunicamycin causes a reduction of CaV3.1-T-type Ca2+ channel current (CaV3.1-ICa.T) when applied for 12h or longer. Tunicamycin (24h) significantly shifted the activation curve to the depolarization potentials, whereas the steady-state inactivation curve was unaffected. Use-dependent inactivation of CaV3.1-ICa.T was accelerated, and recovery from inactivation was prolonged by tunicamycin (24h). CaV3.1-ICa.T was insensitive to a glycosidase PNGase F when the channels were expressed on the plasma membrane. These findings suggest that N-glycosylation contributes not only to the cell surface expression of the CaV3.1-T-type Ca2+ channel but to the regulation of the gating properties of the channel when the channel proteins were processed during the folding and trafficking steps in the cell.
