We determined the effect of nucleotides and protein kinase A (PKA) on the Ca(2+)-dependent gating of the cloned intermediate conductance, Ca(2+)-dependent K(+) channel, hIK1. In Xenopus oocytes, during two-electrode voltage-clamp, forskolin plus isobutylmethylxanthine induced a Ca(2+)-dependent increase in hIK1 activity. In excised inside-out patches, addition of ATP induced a Ca(2+)-dependent increase in hIK1 activity (NP(o)). In contrast, neither nonhydrolyzable (AMP-PNP, AMP-PCP) nor hydrolyzable ATP analogs (GTP, CTP, UTP, and ITP) activated hIK1. The ATP-dependent activation of hIK1 required Mg(2+) and was reversed by either exogenous alkaline phosphatase or the PKA inhibitor PKI(5-24). The Ca(2+) dependence of hIK1 activation was best fit with a stimulatory constant (K(s)) of 350 nM and a Hill coefficient (n) of 2.3. ATP increased NP(o) at [Ca(2+)] >100 nM while having no effect on K(s) or n. Mutation of the single PKA consensus phosphorylation site at serine 334 to alanine (S334A) had no effect on the PKA-dependent activation during either two-electrode voltage-clamp or in excised inside-out patches. When expressed in HEK293 cells, ATP activated hIK1 in a Mg(2+)-dependent fashion, being reversed by alkaline phosphatase. Neither PKI(5-24) nor CaMKII(281-309) or PKC(19-31) affected the ATP-dependent activation. Northern blot analysis revealed hIK1 expression in the T84 colonic cell line. Endogenous hIK1 was activated by ATP in a Mg(2+)- and PKI(5-24)-dependent fashion and was reversed by alkaline phosphatase, whereas CaMKII(281-309) and PKC(19-31) had no effect on the ATP-dependent activation. The Ca(2+)-dependent activation (K(s) and n) was unaffected by ATP. In conclusion, hIK1 is activated by a membrane delimited PKA when endogenously expressed. Although the oocyte expression system recapitulates this regulation, expression in HEK293 cells does not. The effect of PKA on hIK1 gating is Ca(2+)-dependent and occurs via an increase in NP(o) without an effect on either Ca(2+) affinity or apparent cooperativity.
