Kv1 potassium channels are widely distributed in mammalian tissues and are involved in a variety of functions from controlling the firing rate of neurons to maturation of T-lymphocytes. Here we show that the newly described KCNE4 β-subunit has a drastic inhibitory effect on currents generated by Kv1.1 and Kv1.3 potassium channels. The inhibition is found on channels expressed heterologously in both...
The function of the KCNE5 (KCNE1-like) protein has not previously been described. Here we show that KCNE5 induces both a time- and voltage-dependent modulation of the KCNQ1 current. Interaction of the KCNQ1 channel with KCNE5 shifted the voltage activation curve of KCNQ1 by more than 140mV in the positive direction. The activation threshold of the KCNQ1+KCNE5 complex was +40mV and the midpoint of...
