Secondary structure transitions and dual PIP2 binding define cardiac KCNQ1-KCNE1 channel gating
2025-06-10
Abstract excerpt
The KCNQ1+KCNE1 potassium channel complex forms the slow delayed rectifier current (I Ks ) critical for cardiac repolarization. Loss-of-function variants in KCNQ1 and KCNE1 cause long QT syndrome types 1 and 5 (LQT1/LQT5), accounting for over one-third of clinical LQTS cases. Despite prior structural work on KCNQ1 and KCNQ1+KCNE3, the structural basis of KCNQ1+KCNE1 remains unresolved. Using cryo-EM and electro...
