Modulation of K_V4.3-KChIP2 Channels by IQM-266: Role of DPP6 and KCNE2.

ABSTRACT: The transient outward potassium current (I_tof) is generated by the activation of K_V4 channels assembled with KChIP2 and other accessory subunits (DPP6 and KCNE2). To test the hypothesis that these subunits modify the channel pharmacology, we analyzed the electrophysiological effects of (3-(2-(3-phenoxyphenyl)acetamido)-2-naphthoic acid) (IQM-266), a new KChIP2 ligand, on the currents generated by K_V4.3/KChIP2, K_V4.3/KChIP2/DPP6 and K_V4.3/KChIP2/KCNE2 channels. CHO cells were transiently transfected with cDNAs codifying for different proteins (K_V4.3/KChIP2, K_V4.3/KChIP2/DPP6 or K_V4.3/KChIP2/KCNE2), and the potassium currents were recorded using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique.
