1. When jellyfish Shaker potassium channels (jShak2) are heterologously expressed in Xenopus oocytes at different levels they demonstrate density-dependent changes in electrical and kinetic properties of macroscopic currents. 2. The activation and inactivation properties of jShak2 channels depend on the extracellular potassium concentration. In this study we present experimental data which show that expression-dependent changes in kinetic and electrical properties of jShak2 macroscopic currents can be explained by the positive feedback effect of dynamic accumulation of K+ in the perimembranal space.
