Abstrakt: Plasma membrane phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) is a precursor of PI(4,5)P 2 , an important regulator of a large number of ion channels. Although the role of the phospholipid PI(4,5)P 2 in stabilizing ion channel function is well established, little is known about the role of phospholipids in channel membrane localization and specifically the role of PI4P in channel function and localization. The phosphatidylinositol 4-kinases (PI4Ks) synthesize PI4P. Our data show that inhibition of PI4K and prolonged decrease of levels of plasma membrane PI4P lead to a decrease in the KCNQ1/KCNE1 channel membrane localization and function. In addition, we show that mutations linked to Long QT syndrome that affect channel interactions with phospholipids lead to a decrease in membrane expression. We show that expression of a LQT1-associated C-terminal deletion mutant abolishes PI4Kinase-mediated decrease in membrane expression and rescues membrane expression for phospholipid-targeting mutations. Our results indicate a novel role for PI4P on ion channel regulation. Our data suggest that decreased membrane PI4P availability to the channel, either due to inhibition of PI4K or as consequence of mutations, dramatically inhibits KCNQ1/KCNE1 channel membrane localization and current. Our results may have implications to regulation of other PI4P binding channels.
