| Abstract | A cloned, human, A-type, voltage-gated potassium channel (hKv1.4) was expressed transiently in Chinese hamster ovary cells and the effects of the broad-spectrum tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein on hKv1.4 were studied using the whole-cell patch-clamp recording method. Genistein (up to 50 µM) reversibly reduced the peak currents of hKv1.4 by 44.9±12%. In addition, genistein markedly slowed the activation kinetics (time constant τa) of hKv1.4. At +50 mV, τa increased from 1.8±0.3 to 5.0±0.6 ms (P<0.01). The effect of genistein on the channel inactivation kinetics (time constant τi) was more complex, in that τi was increased significantly at lower step potentials but unaltered at +50 mV or more depolarized potentials. Tail current analysis showed that genistein had no effect on the kinetics of deactivation (time constant τd), but shifted the steady-state activation curve significantly to the right by about 15 mV (potential for half-maximal activation, V 1/2, changed from –7.4±4.4 to +7.7±2.7 mV) with a moderate change in the slope (k) of the curve (from 17.4±2.2 to 23±1.0 mV, P<0.05). Genistein slightly altered the slope of the steady-state inactivation curve from –5.5±0.4 to –7.5±0.4 mV (P<0.01). The recovery rate from inactivation was not altered by genistein. The tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor orthovanadate (1 mM) alone had little impact on current amplitude or channel kinetics. However, orthovanadate significantly, but not completely, blocked the effect of genistein on current amplitude (by 25.5%) and kinetics (by 67.1%). Daidzein (up to 50 µM), an inactive analogue of genistein, had no effect on current amplitude or kinetics. In contrast to genistein, another tyrosine kinase inhibitor, herbimycin A, had little effect on the channel peak amplitude or kinetics. In addition, genistein had a similar impact on the channel peak current amplitude and kinetics in cells with or without pre-treatment with herbimycin A (10 µM). The data suggest that genistein-induced inhibition of tyrosine phosphorylation may not be the exclusive mechanism by which hKv1.4 is down-regulated and channel gating affected. Genistein may produce a non-catalytic blockade of this channel. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
