Among K2P channels, a few of them turned out tobe difficult to express in heterologous systems and werecoined "silent subunits". Recent studies have shed light onthe mechanisms behind this apparent lack of channel activityat the plasma membrane. For TWIK1 and THIK2 channels,silence is related to a combination of intracellular retentionand low...
Despite a high level of sequence homology, tandem poredomain halothane-inhibited K channel 1 (THIK1) producesbackground K currents, whereas THIK2 is silent. This lack ofactivity is due to a unique combination of intracellular retentionand weak basal activity in the plasma membrane. Here, wedesigned THIK subunits containing dominant negative...

Inhibitory potassium channels of the TREK1/TRAAK family are integrators of multiple stimuli, including temperature, membrane stretch, polyunsaturated fatty acids and pH. How these signals affect the gating of these channels is the subject of intense research. We have previously identified a cytoplasmic domain, pCt, which plays a major role in...
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,...

The tandem pore domain halothane-inhibited K channel 1(THIK1) produces background K currents. Despite 62% aminoacid identity with THIK1, THIK2 is not active upon heterologous expression. Here, we show that this apparent lack of activity is due to a unique combination of retention in the endoplasmic reticulum and low intrinsic channel activity...

Vesicular H(+)-ATPases and ClC-chloride transporters are described to acidify intracellular compartments, which also express the highly conserved Na(+)/H(+) exchangers NHE6, NHE7, and NHE9. Mutations of these exchangers cause autism-spectrum disorders and neurodegeneration. NHE6, NHE7, and NHE9 are hypothesized to exchange cytosolic K(+) for...
