Research Abstract

Compartmentalization of neuronal function is achieved by highly localized clustering of ion channels in discrete subcellular membrane domains. Voltage-gated potassium (Ky) and sodium (Nay) channels exhibit highly variable cellular and subcellular patterns of expression. To understand how they are regulated, we focused on the two distinct subcellular domains: localization at synapses/dendrites and nodes of Ranvier.
Kv4.2, a voltage-gated K channel, shows somatodendritic localization in cerebellar granule cells. We found that its subcellular localization changes from soma to the dendrites and synapses during synaptogenesis, and the neuronal activity plays a key role in this change. This induction of localization was mediated by either NMDA or AMPA receptors.
Nav and Kv in myelinated axons show striking segregation at nodes of Ranvier. The axoglial paranodal junction is essential for the proper localization of these ion channels. We showed that sulfatide, a myeline glycolipid, and CD9,a member of the tetraspanin family, play an important role on the regulation of ion-channel localization through the formation of paranodal junction.
