Separation of P/C‐ and U‐type inactivation pathways in Kv1.5 potassium channels
Bibliographic record
Abstract
P/C-type inactivation of Kv channels is thought to involve conformational changes in the outer pore of the channel, culminating in a partial constriction of the selectivity filter. Recent studies have identified a number of phenotypic differences in the inactivation properties of different Kv channels, including different sensitivities to elevation of extracellular K+ concentration, and different state dependencies of inactivation. We have demonstrated that an alternatively spliced short form of Kv1.5, resulting in disruption of the T1 domain, exhibits a shift in the state dependence of inactivation in this channel, and in the current study we have examined this further to contrast the properties of inactivation from open versus closed states. In a TEA+-sensitive mutant of Kv1.5 (Kv1.5 R487T), 10 mM extracellular TEA+ inhibits inactivation in both full-length and T1-deleted channels, but does not inhibit closed-state inactivation in T1-deleted channel forms. Similarly, substitution of K+ and Na+ with Cs+ ions in the recording medium inhibits inactivation of both full-length and T1-deleted channel forms, but fails to inhibit closed-state inactivation of T1-deleted channels. Collectively, these data distinguish between open-state and closed-state inactivation, and suggest the presence of multiple possible mechanisms of inactivation coexisting in Kv1 channels.

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.
