A molecular switch in RCK2 triggers sodium-dependent activation of KNa1.1 (KCNT1) potassium channels.

B. A. Cole, A. C. Kalli, N. Pilati, S. P. Muench, J. D. Lippiat

This paper identifies a molecular switch in the RCK2 domain of KNa1.1 channels that mediates sodium-dependent activation through conformational changes involving specific amino acid residues.

Structure-based identification and characterisation of novel inhibitors of KNa1.1 potassium channels, a stratified target for KCNT1-related epilepsy.

B. A. Cole, R. M. Johnson, H. Dejakaisaya, N. Pilati, C. W. G. Fishwick, S. P. Muench, J. D. Lippiat

This study identifies novel inhibitors of KNa1.1 potassium channels using cryo-EM structures and computational methods, showing improved potency over quinidine for KCNT1-related epilepsy treatment.
