A mammalian two pore domain mechano-gated S-like K+ channel.


ABSTRACT: Aplysia S-type K+ channels of sensory neurons play a dominant role in presynaptic facilitation and behavioural sensitization. They are closed by serotonin via cAMP-dependent phosphorylation, whereas they are opened by arachidonic acid, volatile general anaesthetics and mechanical stimulation. We have identified a cloned mammalian two P domain K+ channel sharing the properties of the S channel. In addition, the recombinant channel is opened by lipid bilayer amphipathic crenators, while it is closed by cup-formers. The cytoplasmic C-terminus contains a charged region critical for chemical and mechanical activation, as well as a phosphorylation site required for cAMP inhibition.
