KCNQ1 (Kv7.1 or KvLQT1) is a voltage-gated potassium ion channel that is involved in the ventricular repolarization following an action potential in the heart. It forms a complex with KCNE1 in the heart and is the pore forming subunit of slow delayed rectifier potassium current (Iks). Mutations in KCNQ1, leading to a dysfunctional channel or loss of activity have been implicated in a cardiac disorder, long QT syndrome. In this study, we report the overexpression, purification, biochemical characterization of human KCNQ1100-370, and lipid bilayer dynamics upon interaction with KCNQ1100-370. The recombinant human KCNQ1 was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified into n-dodecylphosphocholine (DPC) micelles. The purified KCNQ1100-370 was biochemically characterized by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, western blot and nano-LC-MS/MS to confirm the identity of the protein. Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy was utilized to confirm the secondary structure of purified protein in vesicles. Furthermore, 31P and 2H solid-state NMR spectroscopy in DPPC/POPC/POPG vesicles (MLVs) indicated a direct interaction between KCNQ100-370 and the phospholipid head groups. Finally, a visual inspection of KCNQ1100-370 incorporated into MLVs was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The findings of this study provide avenues for future structural studies of the human KCNQ1 ion channel to have an in depth understanding of its structure-function relationship.
