ABSTRACT
We have isolated a novel gene, hKCa4,
encoding an intermediate conductance, calcium-activated potassium
channel from a human lymph node library. The translated protein
comprises 427 amino acids, has six transmembrane segments, S1-S6, and
a pore motif between S5 and S6. hKCa4 shares 41-42% similarity at the
amino acid level with three small conductance calcium-activated
potassium channels cloned from brain. Northern blot analysis of primary human T lymphocytes reveals a 2.2-kilobase transcript that is highly
up-regulated in activated compared with resting cells, concomitant with
an increase in KCa current. hKCa4 transcript is also
detected by Northern blots or by polymerase chain reaction in placenta,
prostate, thymus, spleen, colon, and many cell lines of hematopoietic
origin. Patch-clamp recordings of hKCa4-transfected HEK 293 cells reveal a large voltage-independent, inwardly rectifying potassium
current that is blocked by externally applied tetraethylammonium (Kd = 30 ± 7 mM), charybdotoxin
(Kd = 10 ± 1 nM), and
clotrimazole (Kd = 387 ± 34 nM),
but is resistant to apamin, iberiotoxin, kaliotoxin, scyllatoxin
(Kd > 1 µM), and margatoxin
(Kd > 100 nM). Single hKCa4 channels have a conductance of 33 ± 2 picosiemens in symmetrical potassium solutions. The channel is activated by intracellular calcium
(Kd = 270 ± 8 nM) with a highly
cooperative interaction of approximately three calcium ions per
channel. These properties of the cloned channel are very similar to
those reported for the native KCa channel in activated human T
lymphocytes, indicating that hKCa4 encodes this channel
type.
INTRODUCTION
Potassium channels play a critical role in modulating calcium
signaling of lymphocytes (1). Human T lymphocytes express at least two
types of potassium channels (2): those that open in response to changes
in membrane potential (Kv
channels)1 and those that are
activated following elevations of intracellular calcium levels (KCa
channels). The predominant Kv channel in human T cells is encoded by
Kv1.3, a Shaker-related voltage-gated potassium channel gene. Kv1.3 has been characterized extensively at the molecular
and physiological level and plays a vital role in controlling T cell
proliferation, mainly by maintaining the resting membrane potential of
the cell (3). Upon T cell activation, there is at most a 2-fold
increase in Kv1.3 currents. The predominant KCa channel on human T
lymphocytes is of intermediate conductance, is voltage-insensitive, and
is potently blocked by the scorpion venom peptide, charybdotoxin (CTX;
Ref. 4). Unlike Kv1.3, KCa currents are up-regulated dramatically
(10-25-fold) following mitogenic or antigenic stimulation and are
thought to play a significant role in post-activation and secondary
immune phenomena (4, 5). KCa channels with biophysical and
pharmacological properties very similar to the T lymphocyte channel
also have been identified in red blood cells (Gardos channel; Ref. 6),
macrophages (7), neutrophils (8), and B lymphocytes (9), as well as in
other peripheral tissues. However, the molecular identity of this
channel type was hitherto unknown. We report the cloning and
characterization of an intermediate conductance, CTX-sensitive KCa
channel, which we call hKCa4, from a human lymph node
cDNA library. We present convergent molecular, biophysical, and
pharmacological evidence that hKCa4 encodes the predominant
KCa channel in human T cells.
EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES
Data Base Search
We performed a BLAST search of a
proprietary EST data base (licensed from Incyte
Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, CA) for unannotated potassium channel
sequences using the pore sequence of hKv2.1, a Shab-related
K+ channel (PASFWWATITMTTVGYGDIYP; Ref. 10). Two
overlapping clones of interest were identified, and their sequences
were determined (Applied Biosystems PRISMTM377 automated sequencer).
Both of these clones were from a cDNA library of adherent
mononuclear cells, which came from a pool of male and female
donors.
Library Screening and Computer Analysis
A
32P-labeled DNA fragment from one of the above clones,
corresponding to nucleotides 262-1265 in Fig. 1A, was used
as a probe to screen ~600,000 recombinant plaques from a human lymph
node gt10 cDNA library (CLONTECH).
Hybridizations were at 42° C overnight. Filters were washed twice in
1 × SSC (150 mM NaCl, 15 mM
Na3 citrate, pH 7.0) and 0.5% SDS at 65 °C for 1 h
and exposed to x-ray film overnight. Of 38 doubly positive clones, 10 were subjected to two rounds of plaque purification and rescreening.
Inserts were amplified using -specific primers, and amplicons were
sequenced directly by automated sequencing as above. Six clones had
hKCa4 sequence information, and three were full length. One
full-length clone was subcloned and sequenced entirely on both strands
and used for subsequent expression constructs.
Computer analysis of the hKCa4 sequence was done using
Lasergene software (DNAstar, Inc., Madison, WI). Alignments with other potassium channel sequences were performed using the CLUSTAL algorithm, and these were used to create a dendrogram. The gap penalty and the gap
length penalty were 10 each. Hydropathy plots were according to
Kyte-Doolittle criteria, averaging over a nine-residue window. Post-translational modification sites were identified using pattern searches within the Protean program. Patterns were derived from the
Prosite data base, and the threshold for matching was 100%.
Isolation and Activation of Human T Lymphocytes
Mononuclear
cells were isolated from whole blood (obtained from healthy donors) on
Ficoll-Hypaque density gradients. Contaminating red blood cells were
removed by hypotonic lysis for 45 s in 0.2% saline followed by an
equal volume of 1.6% saline to bring saline back to physiological
concentration. Monocytes and B cells were removed using M450 Pan-B
(CD19) and M450 (CD14) Dynabeads according to the Dynal protocol (Lake
Success, NY). Remaining cells were assumed to be mainly T cells
(typically 80-90% as assessed by fluorescence-activated cell sorter
analysis). T cells were cultured overnight at 37 °C, 5%
CO2, in complete RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% fetal
bovine serum and 1 × penicillin/streptomycin (Life Technologies, Inc.). The cells then were activated with 10 µg/ml final
concentration phytohemagglutinin (Sigma) in complete RPMI for 48-72
h.
RNA Isolation and Northern Blot Analysis
T cell
poly(A)+ RNA was isolated using Invitrogen's FastTrack 2.0 kit (Carlsbad, CA). 0.9 µg each of resting and activated T cell RNA
(equivalent to 12 × 107 resting and 1 × 107 activated T cells) was resolved by electrophoresis
through a 1% agarose gel containing 2.2 M formaldehyde,
with 3 µg of RNA ladder as a size marker (Life Technologies, Inc.).
RNA was transferred for 6 h to positively charged nylon membrane
(Hybond-N+, Amersham Life Science, Inc.), followed by UV
cross-linking.
Twenty-five to forty ng (9-15 × 106 cpm) of
32P-labeled polymerase chain reaction fragment
corresponding to nucleotides 262-702 of hKCa4 (Fig.
1A) was used to probe multiple tissue Northern blots (~2
µg RNA/lane, CLONTECH) and a T cell blot. Blots
were hybridized for 1.5 h at 68 °C and washed two times in
0.1 × SSC + 0.1% SDS at 50 °C, then exposed to film 3-14
days using two intensifying screens. Laser densitometry was used to
quantitate relative band intensities on the T cell blot. The same blot,
when probed with -actin, revealed 2.0-kb bands in both lanes,
confirming the integrity of the RNA.
Transient Transfections
A ~1.3-kb
SmaI/ScaI fragment containing the coding region
of hKCa4 was cloned into pcDNA3 vector (Invitrogen) at
the EcoRV site. This cloning strategy introduced an
additional methionine and two amino acids (G, A) upstream and in-frame
with the authentic initiator methionine. Approximately 3 × 105 HEK 293 cells (ATCC, Rockville, MD) were transfected
with 5 µg of hKCa4 gene in pcDNA3 vector along with 1 µg of green fluorescent protein (GFP) in pEGFP-C1 vector
(CLONTECH) using the LipoTAXI transfection kit
(Stratagene, La Jolla, CA) as per the manufacturer's instructions.
Currents were recorded 24-72 h later.
Patch-Clamp Recording
Currents were recorded with an
Axopatch 200A amplifier (Axon Instruments, Foster City, CA) using the
whole cell, cell-attached, and inside-out configurations (12).
Transfected HEK cells were selected for recording by the presence of
GFP epifluorescence (excitation: 485/22 nm, emission: 505 nm).
Thin-wall borosilicate glass pipettes were fabricated, sylgarded, and
fire-polished to a DC resistance of 2-8 M . The resistance of patch
seals was >10 G . Liquid junction potentials were corrected for in
all experiments, and series resistance compensation of >70% was used
where maximal current was >0.5 nA. Voltage clamp protocols were
implemented and data acquisition performed with pClamp 6.0 software
(Axon Instruments.). Currents were low pass-filtered ( 3 db at 1 kHz) and then digitized at 3-8 kHz as computer files with a TL-1 interface (Scientific Solutions, Solon, OH). Currents were measured with p-Clamp
software, and iterative curve fittings were performed with either
p-Clamp or Origin software (Version 3.73; Microcal Inc., Northampton,
MA).
For whole cell recording, the pipette solution contained (in
mM) 160 potassium aspartate, 2 MgCl2, 5 HEPES,
and 1.6 EGTA with either 0.8 CaCl2 (calculated
[Ca2+]free = 100 nM; Eqcal
software, Biosoft Corp, Cambridge, United Kingdom) or 1.6 CaCl2 (calculated [Ca2+]free = 1 µM) at pH 7.2 (by KOH) and osmolality ~315 mOsm (by sucrose). Cells were perfused locally with a solution containing 160 KCl, 2 CaCl2, 1 MgCl2, 5 HEPES, and 5 glucose
at pH 7.4 (by KOH) and osmolality ~325 mOsm. In K+
selectivity experiments, equimolar Na+ was substituted for
K+. For cell-attached patches, the pipette
solution contained 160 KCl, 2 CaCl2, 1 MgCl2,
and 10 HEPES at pH 7.4 (by NaOH) and osmolality ~325 mOsm. Cells were
perfused with Ringer solution (160 NaCl, 4.5 KCl, 1 MgCl2,
5 HEPES, and 2 CaCl2 at pH 7.4) ± 1 µM
ionomycin. For excised inside-out patches, the pipette
solution contained 160 KCl, 2 CaCl2, 1 MgCl2,
and 10 HEPES at pH 7.4 (by KOH) and osmolality ~325 mOsm. The local
perfusion solution (cytoplasmic face) contained 160 K aspartate, 2 MgCl2, 5 HEPES, and 10 EGTA at pH 7.2 (by KOH) and
osmolality ~329 mOsm with CaCl2 added at concentrations
that yielded the calculated [Ca2+]free
specified. Perfusion solutions were delivered locally using a solenoid
valve system (13). Toxins were purchased from Sigma and were diluted in
solution containing 0.01% bovine serum albumin.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
We obtained a 2.2-kb cDNA clone from a human lymph node library using a probe derived from an EST sequence that was identified from a data base search for novel potassium channels. The clone has 400 bp of 5 -UTR, 1.3 kb of coding region, and 540 bp of 3 -UTR (Fig.
1A). We have mapped the entire
transcript of the predominant 2.2-kb band seen in Northern blots from
various tissues (see Fig. 2), because
four independent clones started with the same 5 -UTR sequence (±15
bp), and the 3 -UTR ended with a polyadenylation signal followed by a
poly(A) tail. We also detected an in-frame stop codon upstream of the
initiator ATG in all four clones, ruling out the existence of alternate
upstream initiator ATG codons. The translated protein comprises 427 amino acids. Hydropathy plot analysis reveals a short intracellular N
terminus, followed by six transmembrane segments (S1-S6) and a long
intracellular C terminus (Fig. 1B). The loop between S5 and
S6 contains the highly conserved GYG sequence characteristic of all
cloned potassium channel pores (10). The hKCa4 protein has one
consensus N-linked glycosylation site between S5 and the
pore and several sites for serine-threonine phosphorylation. There are
no consensus EF hand motifs in hKCa4. A comparison of the amino acid
sequence of hKCa4 with representative members of the K+
channel superfamily reveals that it is most similar to the small conductance KCa channels (hSK1, rSK2, rSK3) recently cloned from brain
(14). However, it shares only 41-42% amino acid identity with them,
warranting placement within a distinct subfamily (Fig. 1C).
The amino acid sequence of hKCa4 is 11-14% similar to the other
cloned six-transmembrane K+ channels (Kv, SLO, HERG, and
KVLQT1; Ref. 10). In a recent abstract, J. P. Adelman reported
cloning an intermediate-conductance KCa channel from a human pancreatic
cDNA library; sequence information was not published (15).

Northern blot analysis of hKCa4 revealed a strong signal at
~2.2 kb in activated human T lymphocytes, placenta, prostate, and
colon (Fig. 2, A and B). Moderate signal was
observed in spleen, thymus, and peripheral blood leukocytes (Fig.
2A); there was no detectable signal in brain. Minor
transcripts of larger sizes also were seen in some tissues (Fig.
2A).
The hKCa4 gene, when co-transfected with a reporter gene for
GFP into HEK 293 cells, produced a calcium-dependent
K+ current with strong inward rectification in symmetrical
K+ solutions upon perfusion of 1 µM ionomycin
(Fig. 3A). Current induced by
ionomycin was blocked completely by 100 nM CTX, but unaffected (i.e. <10% change in amplitude) by 1 µM apamin (n = 2). Internal dialysis with
a solution containing 1 µM
[Ca2+]free also activated a stable large
current (15.4 ± 2.4 nS slope conductance between 100 and 30
mV; n = 11) with similar characteristics. Control
current during ramps in symmetrical 160 mM K+
converged with current elicited during 100 nM CTX perfusion
close to 0 mV (e.g. Fig. 3A), supporting
K+ selectivity of the channel. K+ selectivity
was evaluated further by examining reversal potentials of control
versus CTX currents over a range of different
K+(out) concentrations (Fig. 3C).
Reversal potential shifted 57 mV per 10-fold increase in
K+(out), in close agreement with the predicted
Nernstian value for a K+-selective channel. Pharmacological
evaluation (Fig. 3B) revealed that this current was
inhibited by CTX (Kd = 10 ± 1 nM) and tetraethylammonium (TEA; Kd = 30 ± 7 mM), but insensitive to margatoxin (Kd
>100 nM), apamin, iberiotoxin, kaliotoxin, and scyllatoxin
(Kd >1 µM, n = 2-3
each). Clotrimazole, a drug that is reported to block KCa channels in
erythrocytes and thymocytes in the low micromolar range (16), blocked
hKCa4 currents with a Kd of 387 ± 34 nM. Untransfected HEK 293 cells or cells transfected
with GFP alone showed very small CTX-resistant currents in response to
voltage ramps during dialysis with 1 µM
[Ca2+]free (conductance < 0.1 nS;
n = 8).

[Ca2+]free, and the bath solution contained
160 mM K+. B,

A, except that [Ca2+]free was
buffered to 1 µM in the pipette, and ionomycin was
omitted from the bath. Currents were measured at 95 mV on the ramp
and normalized between control amplitude and that obtained during perfusion with 100 nM CTX in the same experiment. Each
point is the mean ± S.E. of three to five experiments.

hKCa4 current. Each point represents the voltage (mean ± S.E.;

Cell-attached recordings revealed single channel openings during
perfusion with Ringer solution containing 1 µM ionomycin. Channels showed a unitary conductance of 33 ± 2 pS
(n = 3; Fig. 4A) measured during voltage
ramps between 120 and 30 mV with pipettes containing 160 mM K+ and a unitary conductance of 9 ± 1 pS (n = 3) with pipettes containing 4.5 mM
K+. Pipette potentials between 100 and +20 mV had no
apparent effect on the probability of channel openings
(Po) during ramps (e.g. Fig.
4A) or steps. The inside-out configuration in symmetrical K+ also revealed single channels of similar conductance
with gating that clearly depended on the
[Ca2+]free at the cytoplasmic face of the
patch (Fig. 4B). The Po with different [Ca2+]free varied considerably
between cells, but never exceeded ~0.5. Fitting the open probability
versus [Ca2+]free revealed an
activation Kd = 270 ± 8 nM
Ca2+ with a Hill coefficient of 2.7 ± 0.2, indicative
of a highly cooperative interaction between calcium ions and the
channel (Fig. 4C).

conductance of 31 pS. B, representative traces obtained from

[View Larger Version of this Image (35K GIF file)]
We provide strong molecular, biophysical, and pharmacological evidence
that hKCa4 encodes the calcium-activated potassium channel
in T lymphocytes: (a) the clone was identified from a lymph
node library, which is enriched for activated T cells; (b) Northern blot analysis of resting and activated T cells revealed ~10-fold up-regulation of transcript levels, with a corresponding increase in current levels (Fig. 2, B and C); and
(c) the electrophysiological properties of the hKCa4
currents are essentially indistinguishable from those reported for T
cells (1, 4), including inward rectification in high potassium
solution, block by CTX and TEA, single-channel conductance, and
Kd for calcium dependence (Fig. 4D).
hKCa4 may also encode the KCa channels found in other cells
of hematopoietic origin (6-9), because the properties reported for the
channel from these cells is compatible with our data on the
hKCa4 clone heterologously expressed in HEK 293 cells. In addition, we were able to amplify a 1-kb band using
hKCa4-specific primers and to confirm sequence from many
cell lines of hematopoietic origin (e.g. U937, fetal liver
cells, Jurkats, etc.). Our results do not rule out possible association
of hKCa4 with accessory proteins; such interactions as well as
variations in post-translational modifications, could account for the
subtle differences in reported properties in different cell types
(6-9; 15). Further biochemical studies could address these issues.
The significant up-regulation of hKCa4 transcript levels
during T cell activation highlights the importance of these channels in
early activation and post-activation immune responses. Engagement of
the T cell receptor by mitogen or antigen evokes an increase in
intracellular calcium concentration leading to membrane
hyperpolarization (rather than depolarization) caused by opening of KCa
channels (1). This event, in turn, maximizes the electrical driving force for calcium influx through calcium release-activated channels, facilitating sustained calcium oscillations required for cell proliferation, cytokine production, and the expression of immune function (1, 4, 5). Blockade of both KCa and Kv channels has been
reported to cause profound inhibition of T cell proliferation (17),
whereas blockade of KCa channels is sufficient to prevent secondary
immune responses (5). With the identification and characterization of
hKCa4, it is now possible to dissect the molecular mechanisms by which calcium-activated potassium channels control leukocyte development and activation.

The clone of Joiner et al. (Joiner, W. J., Wang, L. Y.,
Tang, M. D., and Kaczmarek, L. K. (1997) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.

critical regions of the protein. Neither paper established a connection
to lymphocytes.
