Kv1.4 encodes a slowly
recovering transient outward current (Ito),
which inactivates by a fast N-type (intracellular ball and chain)
mechanism but has slow recovery due to C-type inactivation. C-type
inactivation of the NH2-terminal deletion mutant
(fKv1.4
N) was inhibited by 98 mM extracellular K+
concentration ([K+]o), whereas N-type
was unaffected. In 98 mM [K+]o, removal of
intracellular K+ concentration
([K+]i) speeded C-type inactivation but had
no effect on N-type inactivation, suggesting that C-type inactivation
is sensitive to K+ binding to intracellular sites. C-type
inactivation is thought to involve closure of the extracellular pore
mouth. However, a valine to alanine mutation on the intracellular side
of S6 (V561A) of fKv1.4
N alters recovery and results in anomalous
speeding of C-type inactivation with increasing
[K+]o. Extracellular pH (pHo)
modulated both N- and C-type inactivation through an S5-H5 linker
histidine (H508) with acidosis speeding both N- and C-type
inactivation. Mutation of an extracellular lysine to a tyrosine (K532Y)
slowed C-type inactivation and inhibited the pH dependence of both N-
and C-type inactivation. These results suggest that mutations,
[K+], and pH modulate inactivation through
membrane-spanning mechanisms involving S6.
