Small conductance calcium-activated potassium (KCa2) channels are expressed throughout the CNS and play a critical role in synaptic and neuronal excitability. KCa2 channels have a somatodendritic distribution with their highest expression in distal dendrites. It is unclear whether KCa2 channels are specifically present on the axon initial segment (AIS), the site at which action potentials are initiated in neurons. Through a powerful combination of toxin pharmacology, single-molecule atomic force microscopy, and dual-color fluorescence microscopy, we report here that KCa2 channels-predominantly the KCa2.3 subtype-are indeed present on the AIS. We also report that cAMP-PKA controls the axonal KCa2 channel surface expression. Surprisingly, and in contrast to KCa2 channels that were observed in the soma and dendrites, the inhibition of cAMP-PKA increased the surface expression of KCa2 channels without promoting nanoclustering. Lastly, we found that axonal KCa2 channels seem to undergo endocytosis in a dynamin-independent manner, unlike KCa2 channels in the soma and dendrites. Together, these novel results demonstrate that the distribution and membrane recycling of KCa2 channels differs among various neuronal subcompartments.-Abiraman, K., Tzingounis, A.

View all literature mentionsTHIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on April 12,2023. Matlab code for two-factor (location and year) analysis-of-variance model for the calculation of climate anomalies, in which the reference interval is specified as the full length of the dataset. This scheme avoids the affects of shorter (e.g. 1961-1990) reference intervals on the temporal evolution of the spatial standard deviation of climate anomalies. Data files provided.
