Summary
KCNQ2 (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 2, HGNC:6296) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 20q13.33, encoding Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily KQT member 2 (O43526). Pore-forming subunit of the voltage-gated potassium (Kv) M-channel which is responsible for the M-current, a key controller of neuronal excitability. It is haploinsufficient (ClinGen: sufficient evidence).
The M channel is a slowly activating and deactivating potassium channel that plays a critical role in the regulation of neuronal excitability. The M channel is formed by the association of the protein encoded by this gene and a related protein encoded by the KCNQ3 gene, both integral membrane proteins. M channel currents are inhibited by M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and activated by retigabine, a novel anti-convulsant drug. Defects in this gene are a cause of benign familial neonatal convulsions type 1 (BFNC), also known as epilepsy, benign neonatal type 1 (EBN1). At least five transcript variants encoding five different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function. Pore-forming subunit of the voltage-gated potassium (Kv) M-channel which is responsible for the M-current, a key controller of neuronal excitability. M-channel is composed of pore-forming subunits KCNQ2 and KCNQ3 assembled as heterotetramers. The native M-current has a slowly activating and deactivating potassium conductance which plays a critical role in determining the subthreshold electrical excitability of neurons as well as the responsiveness to synaptic inputs. KCNQ2-KCNQ3 M-channel is selectively permeable in vitro to other cations besides potassium, in decreasing order of affinity K(+) > Rb(+) > Cs(+) > Na(+). M-channel association with SLC5A3/SMIT1 alters channel ion selectivity, increasing Na(+) and Cs(+) permeation relative to K(+). Suppressed by activation of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor CHRM1.
Subunit / interactions. Heterotetramer with KCNQ3; forms heterotetrameric M-channel responsible for the native M-current. Homotetrameric; forms a functional homotetrameric channel resulting in the expression of a small M-current. Interacts with calmodulin; the interaction is calcium-independent, constitutive and participates in the proper assembly of a functional M-channel. May associate with KCNE2. Interacts with IQCJ-SCHIP1. Interacts (via the pore module) with SLC5A3/SMIT1; forms a coregulatory complex that alters ion selectivity, voltage dependence and gating kinetics of the channel. Interacts with AKAP5; the interaction may help KCNQ2 channel complex to retain calcium-bound calmodulin.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane.
Tissue specificity. In adult and fetal brain. Highly expressed in areas containing neuronal cell bodies, low in spinal cord and corpus callosum. Isoform 2 is preferentially expressed in differentiated neurons. Isoform 6 is prominent in fetal brain, undifferentiated neuroblastoma cells and brain tumors.
Post-translational modifications. KCNQ2/KCNQ3 heteromeric current can be increased by intracellular cyclic AMP, an effect that depends on phosphorylation of Ser-52 in the N-terminal region. KCNQ2/KCNQ3 are ubiquitinated by NEDD4L. Ubiquitination leads to protein degradation. Degradation induced by NEDD4L is inhibited by USP36.
Disease relevance. Seizures, benign familial neonatal 1 (BFNS1) [MIM:121200] A disorder characterized by clusters of seizures occurring in the first days of life. Most patients have spontaneous remission by 12 months of age and show normal psychomotor development. Some rare cases manifest an atypical severe phenotype associated with epileptic encephalopathy and psychomotor retardation. The disorder is distinguished from benign familial infantile seizures by an earlier age at onset. In some patients, neonatal convulsions are followed later in life by myokymia, a benign condition characterized by spontaneous involuntary contractions of skeletal muscles fiber groups that can be observed as vermiform movement of the overlying skin. Electromyography typically shows continuous motor unit activity with spontaneous oligo- and multiplet-discharges of high intraburst frequency (myokymic discharges). Some patients may have isolated myokymia. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 7 (DEE7) [MIM:613720] An autosomal dominant seizure disorder characterized by infantile onset of refractory seizures with resultant delayed neurologic development and persistent neurologic abnormalities. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Activity regulation. Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) potentiates the activation of KCNQ channels by enhancing the electro-mechanical coupling of the voltage-sensing domain (VSD) and the pore-forming domain (PD). In the closed state of the channel, PIP2 is anchored at the S2-S3 loop; upon channel activation, PIP2 interacts with the S4-S5 linker and is involved in channel gating. Calcium suppresses KCNQ2 and KCNQ2-KCNQ3 channel currents, with calcium-bound calmodulin inducing a change in channel configuration which leads to the reduction of channel affinity for PIP2 and subsequent current suppression. M-channel is blocked by linopirdine and XE991, and activated by the anticonvulsants ztz240 and retigabine.
Domain organisation. Each subunit contains six transmembrane segments (S1-S6) with S1-S4 forming one voltage sensing domain (VSD) and S5-S6 contributing to form one quarter of an interlocking pore-forming domain (PD). The S4-S5 linker preferentially interacts with PIP2 in the open-state KCNQ2 channel, whereas the S2-S3 loop interacts with PIP2 in the closed state. The intracellular C-terminal domain is bound constitutively by calmodulin (CaM). This domain plays key functions in channel tetramerization, trafficking, and gating.
Miscellaneous. May be produced at very low levels due to a premature stop codon in the mRNA, leading to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Inclusion of isoform 6 in heteromultimers results in attenuation of potassium current. Prominent expression of isoform 6 in the developing brain may alter firing repertoires of immature neurons excitability to provide cues for proliferation rather than differentiation.
Similarity. Belongs to the potassium channel family. KQT (TC 1.A.1.15) subfamily. Kv7.2/KCNQ2 sub-subfamily.
