Abstract

(1) Background: G protein-coupled inward-rectifier potassium (GIRK) channels, especially neuronal GIRK1/2 channels, have been the focus of intense research interest for developing drugs against brain diseases. In this context, venom peptides that selectively activate GIRK channels can be seen as a new source for drug development. Here, we report on the identification and electrophysiological characterization of a novel activator of GIRK1/2 channels, AsKC11, found in the venom of the sea anemone . (2) Methods: AsKC11 was purified from the sea anemone venom by reverse-phase chromatography and the sequence was identified by mass spectrometry. Using the two-electrode voltage-clamp technique, the activity of AsKC11 on GIRK1/2 channels was studied and its selectivity for other potassium channels was investigated. (3) Results: AsKC11, a Kunitz peptide found in the venom of , is the first peptide shown to directly activate neuronal GIRK1/2 channels independent from Gi/o protein activity, without affecting the inward-rectifier potassium channel (IRK1) and with only a minor effect on K1.6 channels. Thus, AsKC11 is a novel activator of GIRK channels resulting in larger K currents because of an increased chord conductance. (4) Conclusions: These discoveries provide new insights into a novel class of GIRK activators.

摘要

(1) 背景:G 蛋白偶联内向整流钾 (GIRK) 通道,尤其是神经元 GIRK1/2 通道,一直是开发针对脑部疾病药物的研究热点。在这种情况下,选择性激活 GIRK 通道的毒液肽可被视为药物开发的新来源。在此,我们报告了在海葵毒液中发现的新型 GIRK1/2 通道激活剂 AsKC11 的鉴定和电生理特性。

(2) 方法:通过反相色谱法从海葵毒液中纯化 AsKC11,并通过质谱鉴定其序列。使用双电极电压钳技术,研究了 AsKC11 对 GIRK1/2 通道的活性,并研究了其对其他钾通道的选择性。

(3) 结果:AsKC11 是一种在海葵毒液中发现的 Kunitz 肽,是第一个被证明可直接激活神经元 GIRK1/2 通道的肽,而不依赖 Gi/o 蛋白活性,不影响内向整流钾通道 (IRK1),对 K1.6 通道的影响较小。因此,AsKC11 是一种新型的 GIRK 通道激活剂,由于增加了弦电导,导致更大的 K 电流。

(4) 结论:这些发现为新型 GIRK 激活剂提供了新的见解。
