摘要
Tremor dominant Kyoto (Trdk) is an autosomal dominant mutation that appeared in F344/NSlc rats mutagenized with N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU). In this study, we characterized and genetically analyzed F344-Trdk/+ heterozygous rats. The rats exhibited a tremor that was especially evident around weaning but persisted throughout life. The tremors of F344-Trdk/+ rats were attenuated by drugs effective against essential tremor (ET) but not drugs used to treat Parkinson's disease-related tremor, indicating that the pharmacological phenotype of F344-Trdk/+ rats was similar to human ET. Using positional candidate approach, we identified the Trdk mutation as a missense substitution (c. 866 T > A, p. 1289N) in Kcnn2, which encodes the SK2 subunit of the small-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel. In vitro electrophysiological studies revealed that the I289N mutation diminished SK2 channel activity. These findings demonstrate that F344-Trdk/+ rats represent a novel model of ET, and strongly suggest that Kcnn2 is the causative gene for the tremor phenotype in F344-Trdk/+ rats.
