Abstract

HERG1 K(+) channels are critical for modulating the duration of the cardiac action potential. The role of hERG1 channels in maintaining electrical stability in the heart derives from their unusual gating properties: slow activation and fast inactivation. HERG1 channel inactivation is intrinsically voltage sensitive and is not coupled to activation in the same way as in the Shaker family of K(+) channels. We recently proposed that the S4 transmembrane domain functions as the primary voltage sensor for hERG1 activation and inactivation and that distinct regions of S4 contribute to each gating process. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that S4 rearrangements underlying activation and inactivation gating may be associated with distinct cooperative interactions between a key residue in the S4 domain (R531) and acidic residues in neighboring regions (S1 - S3 domains) of the voltage sensing module. Using double-mutant cycle analysis, we found that R531 was energetically coupled to all acidic residues in S1-S3 during activation, but was coupled only to acidic residues near the extracellular portion of S2 and S3 (D456, D460 and D509) during inactivation. We propose that hERG1 activation involves a cooperative conformational change...Continue Reading
