Abstract
ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channel couples membrane excitability to intracellular energy metabolism. Maintaining KATP channel surface expression is key to normal insulin secretion, blood pressure and cardioprotection. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating KATP channel internalization and endocytic recycling, which directly affect the surface expression of KATP channels, are poorly understood. Here we used the cardiac KATP channel subtype, Kir6.2/SUR2A, and characterized Rab35 GTPase as a key regulator of KATP channel endocytic recycling. Electrophysiological recordings and surface biotinylation assays showed decreased KATP channel surface density with co-expression of a dominant negative Rab35 mutant (Rab35-DN), but not other recycling-related Rab GTPases, including Rab4, Rab11a and Rab11b. Immunofluorescence images revealed strong colocalization of Rab35-DN with recycling Kir6.2. Rab35-DN minimized the recycling rate of KATP channels. Rab35 also regulated KATP channel current amplitude in isolated adult cardiomyocytes by affecting its surface expression but not channel properties, which validated its physiologic relevance and the potential of pharmacologic target for treating the diseases with KATP channel trafficking defects.
