Twik-related K+ (TREK) channels produce background currents that regulate cell excitability. In vivo, TREK-1 is involved in neuronal processes including neuroprotection against ischemia, general anesthesia, pain perception, and mood. Recently, we demonstrated that A-kinase anchoring protein AKAP150 binds to a major regulatory domain of TREK-1, promoting drastic changes in channel regulation by polyunsaturated fatty acids, pH, and stretch, and by G-protein-coupled receptors to neurotransmitters and hormones. Here, we show that the microtubule-associated protein Mtap2 is another constituent of native TREK channels in the brain. Mtap2 binding to TREK-1 and TREK-2 does not affect directly channel properties but enhances channel surface expression and current density. This effect relies on Mtap2 binding to microtubules. Mtap2 and AKAP150 interacting sites in TREK-1 are distinct and both proteins can dock simultaneously. Their effects on TREK-1 surface expression and activation are cumulative. In neurons, the three proteins are simultaneously detected in postsynaptic dense bodies. AKAP150 and Mtap2 put TREK channels at the center of a complex protein network that finely tunes channel trafficking, addressing, and regulation.

Key words: potassium channels; proteomics; microtubules; trafficking; postsynaptic dense bodies; scaffolding
