Mechanism of external K+ sensitivity of KCNQ1 channels

KCNQ1 voltage-gated K+ channels are involved in a wide variety of fundamental physiological processes and exhibit the unique feature of being markedly inhibited by external K+. Despite the potential role of this regulatory mechanism in distinct physiological and pathological processes, its exact und...

description KCNQ1 voltage-gated K+ channels are involved in a wide variety of fundamental physiological processes and exhibit the unique feature of being markedly inhibited by external K+. Despite the potential role of this regulatory mechanism in distinct physiological and pathological processes, its exact underpinnings are not well understood. In this study, using extensive mutagenesis, molecular dynamics simulations, and single-channel recordings, we delineate the molecular mechanism of KCNQ1 modulation by external K+. First, we demonstrate the involvement of the selectivity filter in the external K+ sensitivity of the channel. Then, we show that external K+ binds to the vacant outermost ion coordination site of the selectivity filter inducing a diminution in the unitary conductance of the channel. The larger reduction in the unitary conductance compared to whole-cell currents suggests an additional modulatory effect of external K+ on the channel. Further, we show that the external K+ sensitivity of the heteromeric KCNQ1/KCNE complexes depends on the type of associated KCNE subunits.
