| Heteromultimers shown to form in vivo: K2P1 has been shown to form channels with K2P3 and K2P9 subunits in primary cultures of rat cerebellar granule neurons [9] and binds with K2P2 in cortical astrocytes [3]. Protein-protein interactions: K2P1 channels are modified by the small ubiquitin like modifier protein, SUMO at C-terminal lysine K274. SUMOylation of K2P1 has been demonstrated following heterologous expression of the channel in Xenopus oocytes, COS-7 and CHO cells [8,10]. SUMOylation of native K2P1 homodimeric and K2P1 subunit containing heterodimeric channels has been demonstrated in cerebellar granule neurons [9]. In MDCK cells, K2P1 associates with EFA6, an exchange factor for the small G protein ADP-ribosylation factor 6 (ARF6), an interaction that is important for channel endocytosis [1]. |

| General Comments |
| Covalent attachment of SUMO to lysine 274 silences K2P1. Mutation of lysine 274 or desumoylation of K2P1 by a SUMO specific protease (SENP) reveals an open rectifier. Like K2P3 and K2P9, K2P1 is blocked by extracellular acidification due to titration of a histidine residue in the first pore loop. EFA6 interacts with the C-terminal part of K2P1 [10]. This interaction may be important for channel internalization and recycling [1]. |
