Upon heterologous expression in Sf21 cells, homomeric Tsha3 did not yield voltage-activated potassium channels but produced only ohmic currents that reversed at - 15 mV. After co-expression with Tsha1, a novel outward rectifier current was generated that differed from homomeric Tsha1 by its slower kinetics of activation, its partial current inactivation, and its partial blockade by 5 mM TEA as well as 1 muM DTX. Co-immunoprecipitation studies using anti-Tsha3 antibodies confirmed that Tsha3 tightly bound with Tsha1 in co-infected Sf21 cells. As revealed from GFP- and DsRed-labeling studies, the pattern of distribution of Tsha1 was profoundly altered after co-infection with Tsha3 subunits. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. |
