Abstract

Hyperpolarization-activated, cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels generate the pacemaking current, I(h), which regulates neuronal excitability, burst firing activity, rhythmogenesis, and synaptic integration. The physiological consequence of HCN activation depends on regulation of channel gating by endogenous modulators and stabilization of the channel complex formed by principal and ancillary subunits. KCNE2 is a voltage-gated potassium channel ancillary subunit that also regulates heterologously expressed HCN channels; whether KCNE2 regulates neuronal HCN channel function is unknown.

Figure 4: Activation time constants for Ih in pyramidal cells were fast in both genotypes compared to those in VB neurons, Kcne2 deletion again increased time constants in pyramidal neurons Figure 6: he frequency of spontaneous EPSPs in layer 6 pyramidal neurons in the absence of 4-AP was increased by Kcne2 deletion, suggesting a possible alteration in glutamate release machinery.
