Implication

Extends ball-and-chain inactivation to mammalian RHK1; leaves open relevance to native cardiac K+ channel function.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Mammalian fast-inactivating K channel RHK1 (Kv1.4)
I
Intervention
Deletion of different domains in the NH2-terminal region (domain A, domain I, multiple domains)
C
Comparator
Wild-type RHK1 channel
O
Outcome
Changes in channel properties at whole cell and single channel levels (decay of whole cell currents, burst durations, probability of reopening)surrogate

The inactivation mechanism of the mammalian RHK1 potassium channel relies on a positively charged NH2-terminal cytoplasmic domain, similar to the 'ball and chain' model in Shaker channels.
