Effects of flecainide and quinidine on Kv4.2 currents: voltage dependence and role of S6 valines
Bibliographic record
Abstract
1. The effects of flecainide and quinidine were studied on wild-type Kv4.2 channels (Kv4.2WT), channels with deletion of the N-terminal domain (N-del) and channels with mutations in the valine residues located at positions 402 and 404 in the presence (V[402,404]I) or in the absence (N-del/V[402,404]I) of the N-terminus. 2. The experiments were performed at 37 degrees C on COS7 cells using the whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique. 3. Flecainide and quinidine inhibited Kv4.2WT currents in a concentration-dependent manner (IC(50)=23.6+/-1.1 and 12.0+/-1.4 microMat +50 mV, respectively), similar to their potency for the rest of the constructs at the same voltage. In Kv4.2WT channels, flecainide- and quinidine-induced block increased as channel inactivation increased. In addition, the inhibition produced by quinidine, but not by flecainide, increased significantly at positive test potentials. Similar effects were observed in N-del channels. However, in V[402,404]I and N-del/V[402,404]I channels, the voltage dependence of block by both quinidine and flecainide was lost, without significant modifications in potency at +50 mV. 4. These results point to an important role for S6 valines at positions 402 and 404 in mediating voltage-dependent block by quinidine and flecainide.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
