Patients with loss-of-function mutations in KCNQ1 have KCNQ1 long QT syndrome (LQTS). KCNQ1 encodes a voltage-gated K(+) channel located in both cardiomyocytes and pancreatic β-cells. Inhibition of KCNQ1 in β-cells increases insulin secretion. Therefore KCNQ1 LQTS patients may exhibit increased insulin secretion. Fourteen patients, from six families, diagnosed with KCNQ1 LQTS were individually ...
The KCNQ1 K(+) channel plays a key role in the regulation of several physiological functions, including cardiac excitability, cardiovascular tone, and body electrolyte homeostasis. The metabolic sensor AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has been shown to regulate a growing number of ion transport proteins. To determine whether AMPK regulates KCNQ1, we studied the effects of AMPK activation on ...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia whose molecular etiology is poorly understood. We studied a family with hereditary persistent AF and identified the causative mutation (S140G) in the KCNQ1 (KvLQT1) gene on chromosome 11p15.5. The KCNQ1 gene encodes the pore-forming alpha subunit of the cardiac I(Ks) channel (KCNQ1/KCNE1), the KCNQ1/KCNE2 and the KCNQ1/KCNE3 potassium chan...
Ion channel subunits encoded by KCNQ1 and KCNE1 produce the slowly activating K+ current (IKs) that plays a central role in myocardial repolarization. The KCNQ1 alpha-subunit and the KCNE1 beta-subunit assemble with their membrane-spanning segments interacting, resulting in transformation of channel activation kinetics. We recently reported a functional interaction involving C-terminal portions...
KCNQ1 is responsible for the pore-forming subunit of channels that mediate the cardiac 'IKs' potassium channel current. The S140G KCNQ1 gain-of-function mutation is responsible for a form of heritable atrial fibrillation. Here the action potential (AP) voltage clamp technique was used to elucidate the effect of S140G KCNQ1 on the profile of recombinant I(Ks) during atrial and ventricular APs ap...
Cardiac repolarization is controlled by the rapidly (I(Kr)) and slowly (I(Ks)) activating delayed rectifier potassium channels. The human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) encodes I(Kr), whereas KCNQ1 and KCNE1 together encode I(Ks). Decreases in I(Kr) or I(Ks) cause long QT syndrome (LQTS), a cardiac disorder with a high risk of sudden death. A reduction in extracellular K(+) concentration ([K...
We have previously shown that targeted disruption of the mouse Kcnq1 gene produces a long QT phenotype in vivo that requires extracardiac factors for manifestation (Casimiro et al., 2001). In the present study, we explore the hypothesis that autonomic neuroeffector transmission represents the "extra cardiac" stimulus that induces a long QT phenotype in mouse hearts lacking Kcnq1. Using the isol...
BACKGROUND/AIMS KCNQ1/E1 channels are expressed in diverse tissues and serve a variety of functions including endolymph secretion in the inner ear, cardiac repolarization, epithelial transport and cell volume regulation. Kinases involved in regulation of epithelial transport and cell volume include SPAK (SPS1-related proline/alanine-rich kinase) and OSR1 (oxidative stress-responsive kinase 1), ...
The aim of this study was to evaluate KCNQ1 K+ channel expression in the frog kidney of Rana esculenta. KCNQ1 K+ channel, also known as KvLQT1, is the pore forming a-subunit of the IKs K+ channel, a delayed rectifier voltage-gated K+ channel, which has an important role in water and salt transport in the kidney and gastrointestinal tract. The expression of KCNQ1 K+ channel along tubular epithel...
T he cardiac IKs channel is a major repolarization current in the heart that responds rapidly and robustly to sympathetic nervous system stimulation to ensure adequate diastolic filling time in the face of accompanying accelerated heart rate. In cardiac myocytes, the IKs channel is a macromolecular complex composed of a poreforming α (KCNQ1) subunit and modulatory β (KCNE1) subunit, as well as ...
