Delayed rectifier potassium current diversity and regulation are essential
for signal processing and integration in neuronal circuits. Here, we
investigated a neuronal role for MinK-related peptides (MiRPs),
membrane-spanning modulatory subunits that generate phenotypic diversity in
cardiac potassium channels. Native coimmunoprecipitation from rat brain
membranes identified two novel potassium channel complexes, MiRP2-Kv2.1 and
MiRP2-Kv3.1b. MiRP2 reduces the current density of both channels, slows Kv3.1b
activation, and slows both activation and deactivation of Kv2.1. Altering
native MiRP2 expression levels by RNAi gene silencing or cDNA
transfection toggles the magnitude and kinetics of endogenous delayed
rectifier currents in PC12 cells and hippocampal neurons. Computer simulations
predict that the slower gating of Kv3.1b in complexes with MiRP2 will broaden
action potentials and lower sustainable firing frequency. Thus, MiRP2, unlike
other known neuronal subunits, provides a mechanism for influence over
multiple delayed rectifier potassium currents in mammalian CNS via modulation
of subunits from structurally and kinetically distinct
subfamilies.
