The affinity of the heteromeric mutant channels Kv7.2 R463Q/Kv7.3 and Kv7.2 R463E/Kv7.3 for PIP2 correlates with the degree of current inhibition by tamoxifen.

Molecular Basis for Activation to Inhibition Switching in Kv7.2 Channel Modulators

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
The paper describes the serendipitous discovery of chemical manipulation allowing the activator‐to‐inhibitor switching in Kv7.2 channel modulators. The molecular determinants driving this switch have been rationalized by multidisciplinary investigation encompassing synthetic and analytical chemistry, in silico methods, cryo‐EM analysis ...

A Novel Kv7.3 Variant in the Voltage-Sensing S4 Segment in a Family With Benign Neonatal Epilepsy: Functional Characterization and in vitro Rescue by β-Hydroxybutyrate

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2020
Pathogenic variants in KCNQ2 and KCNQ3, paralogous genes encoding Kv7.2 and Kv7.3 voltage-gated K+ channel subunits, are responsible for early−onset developmental/epileptic disorders characterized by heterogeneous clinical phenotypes ranging from benign ...

Precision therapies for genetic epilepsies in 2025: Promises and pitfalls

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract By targeting the underlying etiology, precision therapies offer an exciting paradigm shift to improve the stagnant outcomes of drug‐resistant epilepsies, including developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. Unlike conventional antiseizure medications (ASMs) which only treat the symptoms (seizures) but have no effect on the underlying ...

Tamoxifen inhibition of Kv7.2 channels is related to PIP2-channel affinity.

open access: yes, 2013
A and B, Superimposed representative Kv7.2 R463Q and Kv7.2 R463E current traces recorded in control (black) and in presence of 10 µM tamoxifen (gray). Currents were evoked depolarizing the membrane to +40 mV for 3 s and then repolarizing to -60 mV.

A recurrent KCNQ2 pore mutation causing early onset epileptic encephalopathy has a moderate effect on M current but alters subcellular localization of Kv7 channels

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2015
Mutations in the KCNQ2 gene encoding the voltage-dependent potassium M channel Kv7.2 subunit cause either benign epilepsy or early onset epileptic encephalopathy (EOEE).

Multiple Domains in the Kv7.3 C-Terminus Can Regulate Localization to the Axon Initial Segment

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2020
The voltage-gated Kv7.2/Kv7.3 potassium channel is a critical regulator of neuronal excitability. It is strategically positioned at the axon initial segment (AIS) of neurons, where it effectively inhibits repetitive action potential firing.

Persistent in vitro nociceptor hyperexcitability and axonal retraction produced by repeated paclitaxel doses

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Repeated paclitaxel exposure causes long‐lasting nociceptor hyperexcitability and axonal retraction in adult sensory neurons. Using a long‐term primary nociceptor culture, we show that hyperexcitability is mediated by sequential upregulation of NaV1.8, TRPV1, TRPA1, and TRPM8 channels.

Maturation of spinal motor control through developmental changes in ion currents

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Ion channels of spinal neurons have been shown to change during development in a wide range of species. These changes occur at specific stages of development. An important developmental process is the maturation of motor control by which the body acquires new movements or refines movements already present.
