Also known as KCa1.1mSLO1
Summary
KCNMA1 (potassium calcium-activated channel subfamily M alpha 1, HGNC:6284) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 10q22.3, encoding Calcium-activated potassium channel subunit alpha-1 (Q12791). Potassium channel activated by both membrane depolarization or increase in cytosolic Ca(2+) that mediates export of K(+).
This gene encodes the alpha subunit of calcium-activated BK channel. The encoded protein is involved in several physiological processes including smooth muscle contraction, neurotransmitter release and neuronal excitability. Mutations in this gene are associated with a spectrum of neurological disorders including Paroxysmal Nonkinesigenic Dyskinesia 3, Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsy 16 and Liang-Wang syndrome.

Function. Potassium channel activated by both membrane depolarization or increase in cytosolic Ca(2+) that mediates export of K(+). It is also activated by the concentration of cytosolic Mg(2+). Its activation dampens the excitatory events that elevate the cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration and/or depolarize the cell membrane. It therefore contributes to repolarization of the membrane potential. Plays a key role in controlling excitability in a number of systems, such as regulation of the contraction of smooth muscle, the tuning of hair cells in the cochlea, regulation of transmitter release, and innate immunity. In smooth muscles, its activation by high level of Ca(2+), caused by ryanodine receptors in the sarcoplasmic reticulum, regulates the membrane potential. In cochlea cells, its number and kinetic properties partly determine the characteristic frequency of each hair cell and thereby helps to establish a tonotopic map. Kinetics of KCNMA1 channels are determined by alternative splicing, phosphorylation status and its combination with modulating beta subunits. Highly sensitive to both iberiotoxin (IbTx) and charybdotoxin (CTX). Possibly induces sleep when activated by melatonin and through melatonin receptor MTNR1A-dependent dissociation of G-beta and G-gamma subunits, leading to increased sensitivity to Ca(2+) and reduced synaptic transmission. Potassium channel activated by both membrane depolarization or increase in cytosolic Ca(2+) that mediates export of K(+).
Subunit / interactions. Homotetramer; which constitutes the calcium-activated potassium channel. Interacts with RAB11B. Interacts with beta subunits KCNMB1, KCNMB2, KCNMB3 and KCNMB4. Interacts with gamma subunits LRRC26, LRRC38, LRRC52 and LRRC55. Beta and gamma subunits are accessory, and modulate its activity.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane.
Tissue specificity. Widely expressed. Except in myocytes, it is almost ubiquitously expressed.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated. Phosphorylation by kinases such as PKA and/or PKG. In smooth muscles, phosphorylation affects its activity. Palmitoylation by ZDHHC22 and ZDHHC23 within the intracellular linker between the S0 and S1 transmembrane domains regulates localization to the plasma membrane. Depalmitoylated by LYPLA1 and LYPLAL1, leading to retard exit from the trans-Golgi network.
Disease relevance. Paroxysmal non-kinesigenic dyskinesia 3 with or without generalized epilepsy (PNKD3) [MIM:609446] An autosomal dominant neurologic disorder characterized by absence seizures, generalized tonic-clonic seizures, paroxysmal nonkinesigenic dyskinesia and involuntary dystonic or choreiform movements. Onset is usually in childhood. Patients may have seizures only, dyskinesia only, or both. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Epilepsy, idiopathic generalized 16 (EIG16) [MIM:618596] An autosomal dominant form of idiopathic generalized epilepsy, a disorder characterized by recurring generalized seizures in the absence of detectable brain lesions and/or metabolic abnormalities. Generalized seizures arise diffusely and simultaneously from both hemispheres of the brain. Seizure types include juvenile myoclonic seizures, absence seizures, and generalized tonic-clonic seizures. EIG16 is characterized by onset of seizures soon after birth or in the first years of life. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Cerebellar atrophy, developmental delay, and seizures (CADEDS) [MIM:617643] An autosomal recessive disease characterized by epilepsy, developmental delay and severe cerebellar atrophy. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Liang-Wang syndrome (LIWAS) [MIM:618729] An autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by a highly variable phenotype and severity. The broad spectrum of clinical features includes developmental delay, intellectual disability, ataxia, axial hypotonia, and poor or absent speech, visceral and cardiac malformations, connective tissue presentations with arterial involvement, bone dysplasia and characteristic craniofacial dysmorphism. About half of patients have cerebral and cerebellar atrophy, and thin corpus callosum. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Activity regulation. Ethanol and carbon monoxide-bound heme increase channel activation. Heme inhibits channel activation.
Domain organisation. The S0 segment is essential for the modulation by the accessory beta subunits KCNMB1, KCNMB2, KCNMB3 and KCNMB4. The S4 segment, which is characterized by a series of positively charged amino acids at every third position, is part of the voltage-sensor. The pore-forming domain (also referred as P region) is imbedded into the membrane, and forms the selectivity filter of the pore. It contains the signature sequence of potassium channels that displays selectivity to potassium. The RCK N-terminal domain mediates the homotetramerization, thereby promoting the assembly of monomers into functional potassium channel. It includes binding sites for Ca(2+) and Mg(2+). The calcium bowl constitutes one of the Ca(2+) sensors and probably acts as a Ca(2+)-binding site. There are however other Ca(2+) sensors region required for activation of the channel. The heme-binding motif mediates inhibition of channel activation by heme. Carbon monoxide-bound heme leads to increased channel activation.
Miscellaneous. The protein was initially thought to contain two functionally distinct parts: The core channel (from the N-terminus to the S9 segment) that mediates the channel activity, and the cytoplasmic tail (from the S9 segment to the C-terminus) that mediates the calcium sensing. The situation is however more complex, since the core channel also contains binding sites for Ca(2+) and Mg(2+).
Similarity. Belongs to the potassium channel family. Calcium-activated (TC 1.A.1.3) subfamily. KCa1.1/KCNMA1 sub-subfamily.
