Slowly activating I:(Ks) (KCNQ1/MinK) channels were expressed in Xenopous: oocytes and their sensitivity to chromanols was compared to homomeric KCNQ1 channels. To elucidate the contribution of the ss-subunit MinK on chromanol block, a formerly described chromanol HMR 1556 and its enantiomer S5557 were tested for enantio-specificity in blocking I:(Ks) and KCNQ1 as shown for the single enantiomers of chromanol 293B. Both enantiomers blocked homomeric KCNQ1 channels to a lesser extent than heteromeric I:(Ks) channels. Furthermore, we expressed both WT and mutant MinK subunits to examine the involvement of particular MinK protein regions in channel block by chromanols. Through a broad variety of MinK deletion and point mutants, we could not identify amino acids or regions where sensitivity was abolished or strikingly diminished (>2.5 fold). This could indicate that MinK does not directly take part in chromanol binding but acts allosterically to facilitate drug binding to the principal subunit KCNQ1.
