Abstract

1. The transient outward current (Ito) plays a prominent role in the repolarization phase of the cardiac action potential. Several K+ channel genes, including Kv1.4, are expressed in the heart, produce rapidly inactivating currents when heterologously expressed, and may be the molecular basis of Ito. 2. We engineered mice homozygous for a targeted disruption of the K+ channel gene Kv1.4 and compared Ito in wild-type (Kv1.4+/+), heterozygous (Kv1.4+/-) and homozygous 'knockout' (Kv1.4-/-) mice. Kv1.4 RNA was truncated in Kv1.4-/- mice and protein expression was absent. 3. Adult myocytes isolated from Kv1.4+/+, Kv1.4+/- and Kv1.4-/- mice had large rapidly inactivating outward currents. The peak current densities at 60 mV (normalized by cellular capacitance, in pA pF-1; means +/- s.e.m.) were 53.8 +/- 5. 3, 45.3 +/- 2.2 and 44.4 +/- 2.8 in cells from Kv1.4+/+, Kv1.4+/- and Kv1.4-/- mice, respectively (P < 0.02 for Kv1.4+/+ vs. Kv1.4-/-). The steady-state values (800 ms after the voltage clamp step) were 30.9 +/- 2.9, 26.9 +/- 3.8 and 23.5 +/- 2.2, respectively (P < 0.02 for Kv1.4+/+ vs. Kv1.4-/-). The inactivating portion of the current was unchanged in the targeted mice. 4. The voltage dependence and time course of inactivation w...Continue Reading
