摘要：Members of KCNE family are membrane proteins with single transmembrane helix. They are all found to associate and modulate alpha-subunit of different potassium channels. KCNQ1 is a voltage gated delayed outward rectified potassium channel and have very diverse but essential functions in brain and cardiovascular system. KCNE1 and KCNE2 are known to associate with KCNQ1 but have different modulation influences. Three dimensional structure of KCNE1 and KCNE2 have been determined in the presence of detergent micelles, using solution NMR. Some local differences have been observed through examing structure of KCNE1 and KCNE2. Furthermore, computation and physiological studies indicate that KCNE1 and KCNE2 have different dynamic regulation on KCNQ1 potassium conductance.
