The pancreatic ATP-sensitive potassium channels comprise two subunits: SUR1 and Kir6.2. Two SUR1 mutations, A116P and V187D, reduce channel activity causing persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy. We investigated whether these mutations cause temperature sensitive misfolding. We show that the processing defect of these mutants is temperature sensitive and these two mutations disrupt the association between SUR1 and Kir6.2 by causing misfolding in SUR1 at 37°C but can be rescued at 18°C. Extensive electrophysiological characterization of these mutants indicated that low temperature largely, if not completely, corrects the folding defect of these two SUR1 mutants observed at 37°C.
