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 lambda 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 lambda -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 beta -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 MOmega . The resistance of patch seals was >10 GOmega . 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 lambda  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 lambda  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).


Fig. 3. KCa currents in HEK 293 cells transfected with hKCa4 gene. A, dependence of whole cell current on 1 µM ionomycin perfusion and blockade by CTX (100 nM). Superimposed currents were evoked by 200-ms voltage ramps from -100 to +30 mV (Ehold = -50 mV). The pipette solution contained 100 nM [Ca2+]free, and the bath solution contained 160 mM K+. B, concentration-dependent blockade of KCa current by CTX, TEA, and clotrimazole (CLT). Protocol was the same as in 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. Solid lines represent fits to a Hill equation of the following form: 100/[1 + (Kd/x)n], where x is concentration, Kd the concentration producing 50% inhibition, and n is the slope factor of the line. See text for fitting parameters. C, K+ selectivity of hKCa4 current. Each point represents the voltage (mean ± S.E.; n = 3-6), where control current converged with current in CTX during voltage ramps at the designated K+(out) concentration. The solid line is a linear regression to the data (slope 57 mV).

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).

The bath contained Ringer with 1 µM ionomycin. The patch was ramped over 100 ms from -120 to +60 mV. A blank trace (i.e. no channel openings) was digitally subtracted. The dashed line represents a slope conductance of 31 pS. B, representative traces obtained from an inside-out patch excised from an hKCa4-transfected cell (Ehold = -80 mV). The pipette contained 160 mM K+, and the patch was perfused with the [Ca2+]free indicated.

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.

During review of this manuscript, two papers were published describing a gene similar to hKCa4. The clone of Joiner et al. (Joiner, W. J., Wang, L. Y., Tang, M. D., and Kaczmarek, L. K. (1997) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 94, 11013-11018) had functional properties that differed significantly from ours. The sequence of Ishii et al. (Ishii, T. M., Silvia, C., Hirschberg, B., Bond, C. T., Adelman, J. P., and Maylie, J. (1997) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 94, 11651---11656) differed by two amino acids in critical regions of the protein. Neither paper established a connection to lymphocytes.
