摘要
It has been known for more than three decades that outward Kir currents (I-K1) increase with increasing extracellular K+ concentration ([K+](o)). Although this increase in I-K1 can have significant impacts under pathophysiological cardiac conditions, where [K+](o) can be as high as 18 mM and thus predispose the heart to re-entrant ventricular arrhythmias, the underlying mechanism has remained unclear. Here, we show that the steep [K+](o) dependence of Kir2.1-mediated outward I-K1 was due to [K+](o)-dependent inhibition of outward I-K1 by extracellular Na+ and Ca2+. This could be accounted for by Na+/Ca2+ inhibition of I-K1 through screening of local negative surface charges. Consistent with this, extracellular Na+ and Ca2+ reduced the outward single-channel current and did not increase open-state noise or decrease the mean open time. In addition, neutralizing negative surface charges with a carboxylate esterifying agent inhibited outward I-K1 in a similar [K+](o)-dependent manner as Na+/Ca2(+). Site-directed mutagenesis studies identified Asp(114) and Glu(153) as the source of surface charges. Reducing K+ activation and surface electrostatic effects in an R148Y mutant mimicked the action of extracellular Na+ and Ca2+, suggesting that in addition to exerting a surface electrostatic effect, Na+ and Ca2+ might inhibit outward I-K1 by inhibiting K+ activation. This study identified interactions of K+ with Na+ and Ca2+ that are important for the [K+](o) dependence of Kir2.1-mediated outward I-K1.
