Disease relevance of KCNMA1

  • METHODS: Interaction of FAK with the C terminus of the hSlo alpha-subunit of BK was investigated using the yeast two-hybrid system as well as immunofluorescence microscopy and coimmunoprecipitation experiments with a rabbit anti-hslo antibody on MG63 and CAL72 human osteosarcoma cell lines and on normal human osteoblasts [1].
  • Here we report a genetic locus associated with a human syndrome of coexistent generalized epilepsy and paroxysmal dyskinesia on chromosome 10q22 and show that a mutation of the alpha subunit of the BK channel causes this syndrome [2].
  • Under these experimental conditions, hypoxia caused significant channel inhibition only in the presence of 300 nM Ca2+i. Thus, since regulation was observed in excised patches, maxi-K channel inhibition by hypoxia does not require soluble intracellular components and, mechanistically, is voltage independent and Ca2+i sensitive [3].
  • Here we report the isolation, cloning, and functional characterization of glioma BK (gBK), a novel splice isoform of hSlo, the gene that encodes the alpha-subunits of human BK channels [4].
  • Our study provides the first genetic evidence for the different impact of the BK channel in the control of human blood pressure in men and women, with particular relevance in aging women, and highlights the E65K polymorphism as one of the strongest genetic factors associated thus far to protection against myocardial infarction and stroke [5].
  • KCNMA1 qualifies as a promising diagnostic and therapeutic target in patients with prostate cancer [6].
 

Psychiatry related information on KCNMA1

  • Smith-Lemli-Opitz (SLO or RSH) syndrome is characterized by multiple congenital anomalies, mental retardation, and defective growth; it results from an inherited defect in the biosynthesis of cholesterol [7].
  • OBJECTIVE: To test the safety of a single intracavernous injection of a plasmid vector (hMaxi-K) that expresses the hSlo gene, that encodes the alpha-subunit of the Maxi-K channel, for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) [8].

Biological context of KCNMA1

 

Anatomical context of KCNMA1

  • Interestingly, these two clusters, near CTNNA3 and KCNMA1 and each containing five genes with down-regulated expression in androgenetic placentas, coincided with the regions with maximal maternal allele sharing seen in the pre-eclamptic sisters [18].
  • Focal adhesion kinase pp125FAK interacts with the large conductance calcium-activated hSlo potassium channel in human osteoblasts: potential role in mechanotransduction [1].
  • Multiple cell-signaling pathways converge to modulate large-conductance, voltage- and Ca2+-sensitive K+ channel (maxi-K channel) activity and buffer cell excitability in human myometrial smooth muscle cells (hMSMCs) [19].
  • Maxi-K channels localize to caveolae in human myometrium: a role for an actin-channel-caveolin complex in the regulation of myometrial smooth muscle K+ current [19].
  • These data indicate that the actin cytoskeleton is involved as part of a caveolar complex in the regulation of myometrial maxi-K channel function [19].
 

Associations of KCNMA1 with chemical compounds

  • The BK channel in vascular smooth muscle is formed by an ion-conducting alpha subunit and a regulatory beta(1) subunit, which couples local increases in intracellular Ca(2+) to augmented channel activity and vascular relaxation [20].
  • In agreement, coronary muscle MaxiK currents were enhanced by Lavendustin A [17].
  • Cholesterol depletion redistributed the BK channels to non-caveolar fractions of BAECs, resulting in BK channel activation (7.3 +/- 1.6 pA/picofarad (pF), n = 5) [21].
  • Inclusion of a caveolin-1 scaffolding domain peptide (10 microM) in the pipette solution completely abrogated the effects of ISO on BK channel activation, whereas inclusion of the scrambled control peptide (10 microM) did not inhibit the ISO effects [21].
  • This PGE2-mediated channel opening induces the recruitment of various tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins on the hSlo alpha-subunit of BK [12].
 

Physical interactions of KCNMA1

 

Regulatory relationships of KCNMA1

  • Herein, we report a transmembrane beta subunit (beta2) that yields inactivating MaxiK currents on coexpression with the pore-forming alpha subunit of MaxiK channels [27].
  • Taken together, these data show that the pore-forming alpha subunit of the hSlo channel promotes N-linked glycosylation of its auxiliary beta4 subunit, and this in turn influences the modulation of the channel by the beta4 subunit [22].
  • As shown by RT-PCR, blockade of MaxiK by paxilline also inhibits induction of the mRNA of TNF-alpha and IL-6 [28].
  • Cytokine production initiated by several Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands and by interleukin-1 is inhibited by MaxiK blockade [29].
  • Thus, these results permit us to identify the maxi-K channel as the molecular target of E2 that regulates cell proliferation independently of the estrogen receptor [30].
 

Other interactions of KCNMA1

  • RT-PCR analysis showed expression of P2Y(1), P2Y(2), P2Y(11), P2X(1), P2X(4), and P2X(7) receptors, large-conductance (KCNMA1 and KCNMB1-4), and intermediate-conductance (KCNN4) Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels [31].
  • We show that FAK/hSlo interaction likely takes place through the Pro-1-rich domain situated in the C-terminal region of the kinase [1].
  • We coexpressed BK channel alpha (BKalpha) and BKbeta4 subunits in vitro in CHO cells [32].
  • To explore the functional role of SV1, we coexpressed SV1 with the alpha (human SLO) and beta1 (KCNMB1) subunits of the MaxiK channel [33].
  • Statistical analysis with the KCNMA1, HTR7 and SLC18A2 genes, which lie in the support region of interest revealed no evidence for association after correction for multiple comparisons [34].
