The KCNH channels are voltage-gated potassium channels that play important roles in heart and nerve cells. The N-terminal region of the KCNH channel contains a Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS) domain which is important for the channel gating through interaction with other regions of the channel. To study the solution structure of the N-terminal PAS domain of the KCNH channel from Zebrafish (zNTD), we over-expressed and purified zNTD. We report the resonance assignments for zNTD. The data will allow us to perform structural studies for this domain, which will provide insight into its structural basis for the molecular interaction with other regions of the KCNH channel.

The family of potassium channels serves relevant physiological functions in both excitable and non-excitable cells, reflected in the massive consequences of mutations or pharmacological manipulation of their function. This group of channels shares structural homology with other voltage-gated K channels, but the mechanisms of gating in this family show significant differences with respect to the canonical electromechanical coupling in these molecules. In particular, the large intracellular domains of channels play a crucial role in gating that is still only partly understood.

Ion channels are transmembrane proteins essential for cellular functions and are important drug targets. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is a powerful technique for investigating protein-protein and protein-small molecule ligand interactions. SPR has been underutilized for studies of ion channels, even though it could provide a wealth of information on the mechanisms of ion channel regulation and aid in ion channel drug discovery.

Ether-à-go-go (EAG) potassium channels play a crucial role in the regulation of neuronal excitability and cancer progression, rendering them potential drug targets for cancer therapy. However, the scarcity of information regarding the selection sites on hEAG1 has posed a challenge in the discovery of new hEAG1 inhibitors. In this study, we introduced a novel natural product, corydaline, which selectively inhibits the hEAG1 channel without sensitivity to other KCNH channels.

Zebrafish provide a translational model of human cardiac function. Their similar cardiac electrophysiology enables screening of human cardiac repolarization disorders, drug arrhythmogenicity, and novel antiarrhythmic therapeutics. However, while zebrafish cardiac repolarization is driven by delayed rectifier potassium channel current (I), the relative role of alternate channel transcripts is uncertain.
