Figure Lengend Snippet: Averaged whole cell current traces from cells expressing KCNE1 variants in the homozygous state. Each trace represents JNJ-303 sensitive currents from an average of 21-126 cells co-expressing KCNQ1 with the indicated KCNE1 variant. Currents were normalized to peak current in cells expressing WT KCNE1 and WT KCNQ1 recorded in parallel. Scale bars represent 25% of WT (vertical) and 500 ms (horizontal). Location of variants is indicated by the colored labels (green = N-terminus; orange = TM domain; blue = C-terminus).

Article Snippet: Full length cDNA encoding WT KCNQ1 (GenBank accession number AF000571 ) was engineered in the mammalian expression vector pIRES-CyOFP1 (pIRES-CyOFP1-KCNQ1, AddGene #173162).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Peak current density for KCNE1 variants in the homozygous state. JNJ-303 sensitive peak whole-cell currents measured at +60 mV from CHO-K1 cells co-expressing WT KCNQ1 with KCNE1 variants plotted as fold difference from WT channels recorded in parallel. ( A ) Variants in the N-terminus (green symbols). ( B ) Variants in the transmembrane domain (orange symbols). ( C ) Variants in the C-terminus (blue symbols). All individual data points are plotted as open symbols and mean values are shown as filled symbols with error bars representing the 95% CI. Values to the right or left of the vertical dashed line (normalized WT value) represent current density larger (gain-of-function) or smaller (loss-of-function) than WT, respectively. The number of recorded cells for each variant and individual P -values are presented in Supplemental Dataset 1 .

Figure Lengend Snippet: Averaged whole cell current traces from cells expressing KCNE1 variants in the heterozygous state. Each trace represents JNJ-303 sensitive currents from an average of 38-131 CHO-E1 cells coexpressing KCNQ1 with the indicated KCNE1 variant. Currents were normalized to peak current in CHO-E1 cells co-expressing WT KCNE1 and WT KCNQ1 recorded in parallel. Scale bars represent 25% of WT (vertical) and 500 ms (horizontal).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Functional properties of KCNE1 variants in the heterozygous state. ( A ) Volcano plots of mean JNJ-303 sensitive peak whole-cell current density measured at +60 mV from CHO-E1 cells co-expressing WT KCNQ1 with each KCNE1 variant. Data are displayed as fold divergence from WT channels recorded in parallel. Only variants with peak current density significantly different from WT ( P < 0.02, horizontal dashed line) are labeled. Values to the right or left of the vertical dashed line (normalized WT value) represent current density larger or smaller than WT, respectively. ( B ) Volcano plots of mean difference (ΔV½ in mV) between the averaged V½ for variant and WT channels recorded in parallel. Only variants with peak current density significantly different from WT (P<0.02, horizontal dashed line) are labeled. Values to the right or left of the vertical dashed line indicate hyperpolarized or depolarized activation V½, respectively. ( C ) Volcano plots of mean activation time constants (τ) determined for each heterozygous KCNE1 variant plotted as the ratio to the averaged activation time constant for WT channels recorded in parallel. Values to the right or left of the vertical dashed line (no difference from WT) indicate faster or slower activation, respectively. ( D ) Volcano plots of mean deactivation time constants (τ) determined for each heterozygous KCNE1 variant plotted as the ratio to the averaged deactivation time constant for WT channels recorded in parallel. Values to the right or left of the vertical dashed line indicate slower or faster deactivation, respectively. Symbols colors are defined in previous figures. The number of recorded cells for each variant and individual P -values are presented in Supplemental Dataset 2 . Scatter plots of individual data are presented in Supplemental Figure S8 .
