摘要

Expression of voltage-gated K channel, shaker-related subfamily, member 5 (KCNA5) underlies the human atrial ultra-rapid delayed rectifier K current (I(Kur)). The KCNA5 polymorphism resulting in P532L in the C terminus generates I(Kur) that is indistinguishable from wild type at baseline but strikingly resistant to drug block. In the present study, truncating the C terminus of KCNA5 generated a channel with wild-type drug sensitivity, which indicated that P532 is not a drug-binding site. Secondary structure prediction algorithms identified a probable alpha-helix in P532L that is absent in wild-type channels. We therefore assessed drug sensitivity of I(Kur) generated in vitro in CHO and HEK cells by channels predicted to exhibit or lack this C-terminal alpha-helix. All constructs displayed near-identical I(Kur) in the absence of drug challenge. However, those predicted to lack the C-terminal alpha-helix generated quinidine-sensitive currents (43-51 block by 10 microM quinidine), while the currents generated by those constructs predicted to generate a C-terminal alpha-helix were inhibited less than 12. Circular dichroism spectroscopy revealed an alpha-helical signature with peptides derived from drug-resistant channels and no organized structure in those associated with wild-type drug sensitivity. In conclusion, we found that this secondary structure in the KCNA5 C terminus, absent in wild-type channels but generated by a naturally occurring DNA polymorphism, does not alter baseline currents but renders the channel drug resistant. Our data support a model in which this structure impairs access of the drug to a pore-binding site.
