We characterised the human gene KCNA7, encoding the voltage-gated potassium channel Kv1.7 and compared its coding sequence with that of the mouse orthologue, kcna7. Both genes are encoded by two exons separated by a conserved intron, unlike all the other Kv1-family genes that contain intronless coding regions. KCNA7 and kcna7 encode proteins of 456 amino acid residues that share 495% sequence identity, and the mouse channel has biophysical and pharmacological properties closely resembling the ultra- rapidly activating delayed rectifier (IKur) in cardiac tissue. Using reverse transcriptase-PCR, KCNA7 mRNA was detected in adult human heart. We determined that KCNA7 resides on chromosome 19q13.3 in a region that also contains the progressive familial heart block I (PFHBI) locus. Direct sequencing of KCNA7's coding sequence in PFHB1-affected individuals revealed no pathogenic sequence changes, but two single nucleotide polymorphisms detected in exon 2 result in amino acid substitutions. These results provide evidence for the exclusion of this candidate as the PFHB1-causative gene, although mutations in regulatory and non-coding regions cannot be excluded. As ion channel-encoding genes have been implicated in a growing number of genetic conditions, the data presented may facilitate further analysis of the role of KCNA7 and its product in the heart.

Whilst exercise training is recommended in health guidelines to improve V̇O2peak, there is considerable inter-individual variability in the V̇O2peak response to the same dose of exercise. Understanding how genetic factors contribute to V̇O2peak training response may improve personalisation of exercise programs. The aim of this study was to identify genetic variants that are associated with the magnitude of V̇O2peak response following exercise training. Methods: Participant change in objectively measured V̇O2peak from 18 diferent interventions was obtained from a multi-centre study (Predict-HIIT). A genome-wide association study was completed (n 507), and a polygenic predictor score (PPS) was developed using alleles from single nucleotide polymorphisms= (SNPs) signifcantly associ- –5 ated (P < 1 ­10 ) with the magnitude of V̇O2peak response.

  • Potassium Channels in Epilepsy
    Downloaded from http://perspectivesinmedicine.cshlp.org/ on September 28, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Potassium Channels in Epilepsy Ru¨diger Ko¨hling and Jakob Wolfart Oscar Langendorff Institute of Physiology, University of Rostock, Rostock 18057, Germany Correspondence: [email protected] This review attempts to give a concise and up-to-date overview on the role of potassium channels in epilepsies. Their role can be defined from a genetic perspective, focusing on variants and de novo mutations identified in genetic studies or animal models with targeted, specific mutations in genes coding for a member of the large potassium channel family. In these genetic studies, a demonstrated functional link to hyperexcitability often remains elusive. However, their role can also be defined from a functional perspective, based on dy- namic, aggravating, or adaptive transcriptional and posttranslational alterations. In these cases, it often remains elusive whether the alteration is causal or merely incidental. With 80 potassium channel types, of which 10% are known to be associated with epilepsies (in humans) or a seizure phenotype (in animals), if genetically mutated, a comprehensive review is a challenging endeavor. This goal may seem all the more ambitious once the data on posttranslational alterations, found both in human tissue from epilepsy patients and in chronic or acute animal models, are included. We therefore summarize the literature, and expand only on key findings, particularly regarding functional alterations found in patient brain tissue and chronic animal models.

  • Rescue of Motor Coordination by Purkinje Cell-Targeted Restoration of Kv3.3 Channels in Kcnc3-Null Mice Requires Kcnc1
    The Journal of Neuroscience, December 16, 2009 • 29(50):15735–15744 • 15735 Cellular/Molecular Rescue of Motor Coordination by Purkinje Cell-Targeted Restoration of Kv3.3 Channels in Kcnc3-Null Mice Requires Kcnc1 Edward C. Hurlock, Mitali Bose, Ganon Pierce, and Rolf H. Joho Department of Neuroscience, The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas 75390-9111 The role of cerebellar Kv3.1 and Kv3.3 channels in motor coordination was examined with an emphasis on the deep cerebellar nuclei (DCN). Kv3 channel subunits encoded by Kcnc genes are distinguished by rapid activation and deactivation kinetics that support high-frequency, narrow action potential firing. Previously we reported that increased lateral deviation while ambulating and slips while traversing a narrow beam of ataxic Kcnc3-null mice were corrected by restoration of Kv3.3 channels specifically to Purkinje cells, whereas Kcnc3-mutant mice additionally lacking one Kcnc1 allele were partially rescued. Here, we report mice lacking all Kcnc1 and Kcnc3 alleles exhibit no such rescue. For Purkinje cell output to reach the rest of the brain it must be conveyed by neurons of the DCN or vestibular nuclei. As Kcnc1, but not Kcnc3, alleles are lost, mutant mice exhibit increasing gait ataxia accompanied by spike broadening and deceleration in DCN neurons, suggesting the facet of coordination rescued by Purkinje-cell-restricted Kv3.3 restoration in mice lacking just Kcnc3 is hypermetria, while gait ataxia emerges when additionally Kcnc1 alleles are lost. Thus, fast repolarization in Purkinje cells appears important for normal movement velocity, whereas DCN neurons are a prime candidate locus where fast repolarization is necessary for normal gait patterning.

    Sharma et al. BMC Genomics 2010, 11:84 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/11/84 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Gene prioritization in Type 2 Diabetes using domain interactions and network analysis Amitabh Sharma1†, Sreenivas Chavali1†, Rubina Tabassum1, Nikhil Tandon2, Dwaipayan Bharadwaj1* Abstract Background: Identification of disease genes for Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) by traditional methods has yielded limited success. Based on our previous observation that T2D may result from disturbed protein-protein interactions affected through disrupting modular domain interactions, here we have designed an approach to rank the candidates in the T2D linked genomic regions as plausible disease genes. Results: Our approach integrates Weight value (Wv) method followed by prioritization using clustering coefficients derived from domain interaction network. Wv for each candidate is calculated based on the assumption that disease genes might be functionally related, mainly facilitated by interactions among domains of the interacting proteins. The benchmarking using a test dataset comprising of both known T2D genes and non-T2D genes revealed that Wv method had a sensitivity and specificity of 0.74 and 0.96 respectively with 9 fold enrichment. The candidate genes having a Wv > 0.5 were called High Weight Elements (HWEs). Further, we ranked HWEs by using the network property-the clustering coefficient (Ci). Each HWE with a Ci < 0.015 was prioritized as plausible disease candidates (HWEc) as previous studies indicate that disease genes tend to avoid dense clustering (with an average Ci of 0.015). This method further prioritized the identified disease genes with a sensitivity of 0.32 and a specificity of 0.98 and enriched the candidate list by 6.8 fold.

  • Ion Channels 3 1
    r r r Cell Signalling Biology Michael J. Berridge Module 3 Ion Channels 3 1 Module 3 Ion Channels Synopsis Ion channels have two main signalling functions: either they can generate second messengers or they can function as effectors by responding to such messengers. Their role in signal generation is mainly centred on the Ca2 + signalling pathway, which has a large number of Ca2+ entry channels and internal Ca2+ release channels, both of which contribute to the generation of Ca2 + signals. Ion channels are also important effectors in that they mediate the action of different intracellular signalling pathways. There are a large number of K+ channels and many of these function in different + aspects of cell signalling. The voltage-dependent K (KV) channels regulate membrane potential and + excitability. The inward rectifier K (Kir) channel family has a number of important groups of channels + + such as the G protein-gated inward rectifier K (GIRK) channels and the ATP-sensitive K (KATP) + + channels. The two-pore domain K (K2P) channels are responsible for the large background K current. Some of the actions of Ca2 + are carried out by Ca2+-sensitive K+ channels and Ca2+-sensitive Cl − channels. The latter are members of a large group of chloride channels and transporters with multiple functions. There is a large family of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters some of which have a signalling role in that they extrude signalling components from the cell. One of the ABC transporters is the cystic − − fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) that conducts anions (Cl and HCO3 )and contributes to the osmotic gradient for the parallel flow of water in various transporting epithelia.

Yet unlike non-hibernating mammals, they can sustain breathing rhythms. The physiological processes that make this possible are still not understood.

In this review, we present an in-depth analysis of microarray-based gene expression profiles available for microdissected mouse distal nephron segments, i.e., the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and the connecting tubule (CNT), and for the cortical portion of the collecting duct (CCD) (Zuber et al., 2009). Classification of expressed transcripts in 14 major functional gene categories demonstrated that all principal proteins involved in maintaining of salt and water balance are represented by highly abundant transcripts. However, a significant number of transcripts belonging, for instance, to categories of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) or serine-threonine kinases exhibit high expression levels but remain unassigned to a specific renal function.
