摘要

Aims: K 2P2.1 (TREK1) two-pore-domain potassium channels control electrical activity in the central nervous system (CNS) and in the heart. Auxiliary β subunits (Kvβ) increase functional K + channel diversity in the CNS. Based on similar tissue distribution and common functional significance of Kvβ2 protein and K 2P2.1 channels in neuronal excitability, we hypothesized that Kvβ2 subunits modulate K 2P2.1 currents. Main methods: Rat K 2P2.1 channels and rKvβ subunits were expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes, and two-electrode voltage clamp electrophysiology was used to assess K 2P2.1 function. Key findings: Kvβ2 subunits increased K 2P2.1 currents by 2.9-fold in concentration-dependent fashion (I 0mV,K2P2.1, 0.53 ± 0.07 μA; I 0mV,K2P2.1 + Kvβ2, 1.56 ± 0.13 μA; n = 15). K 2P2.1 channel stimulation resulted in resting membrane potential hyperpolarization by - 10.7 mV (n = 15). Open rectification and current-voltage relationships of K 2P2.1 channels were not markedly altered upon co-expression with Kvβ2, and K 2P2.1 membrane expression was not affected by Kvβ2 subunits. Related subunits Kvβ1 (1.7-fold; n = 16), Kvβ3 (2.2-fold; n = 16), and Kvβ4 (2.8-fold; n = 16) similarly activated K 2P2.1 currents, indicating a broader role for Kvβ proteins in K 2P2.1 regulation. Significance: Kvβ subunits stabilize the resting membrane potential through enhancement of K 2P2.1 K + currents. The significance of this previously unappreciated biophysical mechanism in neuronal physiology remains to be investigated.
