The last 3 C-terminal residues formed a broad base and participated in crystal contacts with neighboring molecules in the crystal lattice. The surface of the A-domain tail complex was predominantly polar and had 2 distinct networks of side-chain salt bridges and hydrogen bonds.

When coexpressed with wildtype, the mutant W276S protein caused a reduction in current density, consistent with a dominant-negative effect, although the gating properties of the channel were unchanged. Current suppression increased with decreasing wildtype:mutant ratio, consistent with the tetrameric structure of the channel. Most mutants also shortened the kinetics of deactivation. Similar studies with the G321S mutant (<a href="#0003">603537.0003</a>) at the C terminus showed similar effects as those in the pore channel. Immunohistochemical studies showed that none of the pore mutant proteins localized to the plasma membrane when expressed alone, indicating a trafficking defect and retention in the ER. However, coexpression with the wildtype protein resulted in some membrane expression. These findings indicated functional channel defects associated with pathogenic KCNQ4 mutations, but also suggested an interaction with the wildtype protein resulting in different effects.

<strong>Cloning and Expression</strong>
</span>
</h4>
</div>
<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>Kubisch et al. (1999) cloned the KCNQ4 cDNA, which encodes a deduced polypeptide of 695 amino acids with a predicted mass of 77 kD. Its overall amino acid identity to KCNQ1 (607542), KCNQ2 (602235), and KCNQ3 (602232) is 38%, 44%, and 37%, respectively. KCNQ4 has 6 predicted transmembrane domains and a P loop between transmembrane domains S5 and S6. In potassium channels, which are tetramers of identical or homologous subunits, 4 of these highly conserved P loops combine to form the ion-selective pore. As with other KCNQ channels, KCNQ4 has a long predicted cytoplasmic C terminus that accounts for about half of the protein. KCNQ4 is expressed in the cochlea; sensory outer hair cells strongly expressed KCNQ4, whereas the inner hair cells appeared negative. </p>

<strong>Gene Function</strong>
</span>
</h4>
</div>
<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>In the mouse cochlea, the Kcnq4 transcript is found exclusively in the outer hair cells. Using specific antibodies, Kharkovets et al. (2000) showed that Kcnq4 is situated at the basal membrane of these sensory cells. In the vestibular organs, Kcnq4 is restricted to the type I hair cells and the afferent calyx-like nerve endings ensheathing these sensory cells. Kcnq4 is also expressed in neurons of many, but not all, nuclei of the central auditory pathway, and is absent from most other brain regions. It is present, for example, in the cochlear nuclei, the nuclei of the lateral lemniscus, and the inferior colliculus. Kharkovets et al. (2000) stated that this was the first ion channel shown to be specifically expressed in a sensory pathway. Moreover, the expression pattern of the gene in the mouse auditory system raises the possibility of a central component in DFNA2 hearing loss. An understanding of the pharmacologic modification of the ion channels mutant in DFNA2 might permit the development of new treatments that are selective for a sensory modality and perhaps even for the quality of perception (Trussell, 2000). </p><p>By recording channel currents produced in cRNA-injected Xenopus oocytes, Zhang et al. (2003) found that phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate activated all members of the KCNQ channel family analyzed, including KCNQ4. </p>

<strong>Biochemical Features</strong>

</div>
<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>Kv7 channels have distinct assembly preferences that are controlled by their cytoplasmic C-terminal assembly domains, or A-domain tails. Howard et al. (2007) determined the crystal structure of the C-terminal A-domain tail (residues 610 to 640) of Kv7.4 at 2.07-angstrom resolution. The overall structure of the A-domain tail was a tightly twisted left-handed 4-stranded coiled coil. The last 3 C-terminal residues formed a broad base and participated in crystal contacts with neighboring molecules in the crystal lattice. The surface of the A-domain tail complex was predominantly polar and had 2 distinct networks of side-chain salt bridges and hydrogen bonds. The 2 networks made interhelical contacts across helix interfaces. Analysis of the Kv7.4 A-domain tail in aqueous solution showed that it had an estimated helical content of 66% and was present as a tetramer, reflecting the crystal structure and the expected stoichiometry of KCNQ voltage-gated potassium channels. Sequence comparisons showed conservation of the coiled-coil motif in the A-domain tails of all 5 Kv7 subtypes. </p>

<strong>Molecular Genetics</strong>

<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>Kubisch et al. (1999) identified a heterozygous mutation (603537.0001) in the pore region in exon 6 of the KCNQ4 gene in all affected members of a family segregating autosomal dominant deafness (DFNA2A; 600101). The mutation abolished the potassium currents of wildtype KCNQ4, on which it exerted a strong dominant-negative effect. Kubisch et al. (1999) concluded that KCNQ4-related hearing loss is intrinsic to outer hair cells. The authors also found that KCNQ4 formed heteromeric channels with KCNQ3. </p><p>Coucke et al. (1999) analyzed the KCNQ4 gene in 5 previously reported families with DFNA2A, 3 from the Netherlands and Belgium (Van Camp et al., 1997) and 2 from Indonesia and the U.S. (Coucke et al., 1994). They found missense mutations altering conserved amino acids in 3 families and an inactivating deletion in a fourth family. No KCNQ4 mutation was found in the DFNA2A family of Indonesian origin. Van Hauwe et al. (1999) analyzed the GJB3 gene in the same 5 families and found no mutations in any. Coucke et al. (1999) concluded that at least 2 and possibly 3 genes responsible for hearing impairment are located close together on 1p34 and suggested that KCNQ4 mutations may be a relatively frequent cause of autosomal dominant hearing loss. </p><p>Talebizadeh et al. (1999) described a leu281-to-ser missense mutation (603537.0006) of the KCNQ4 gene in all cases of nonsyndromic dominant progressive hearing loss in a 5-generation American family. They also tested for KCNQ4 mutations in probands from 20 families with dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss and probands from 60 families with recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss; none of these patients showed a truncating mutation in KCNQ4. </p><p>Van Hauwe et al. (2000) identified a leu274-to-his (603537.0007) mutation in the KCNQ4 gene in affected members of another Dutch family with DFNA2A. Examination of the position of all known KCNQ4 mutations showed a clustering of mutations in the pore region of the gene, which is responsible for the ion selectivity of the channel. </p><p>In affected members of a 4-generation Spanish family segregating autosomal dominant hearing loss, Mencia et al. (2008) identified heterozygosity for a mutation (G296S; 603537.0009) in the KCNQ4 gene. Expression and functional studies demonstrated a strong dominant-negative effect on wildtype channel activity via a trafficking defect. </p><p>In electrophysiologic studies, Kim et al. (2011) found that Chinese hamster ovary cells transfected with KCNQ4 mutants affecting the pore region (L274H, 603537.0007; W276S, 603537.0002; L281S, 603537.0006; G285C, 603537.0004; and G296S, 603537.0009) had no measurable outward currents compared to cells transfected with the wildtype protein. When coexpressed with wildtype, the mutant W276S protein caused a reduction in current density, consistent with a dominant-negative effect, although the gating properties of the channel were unchanged. Current suppression increased with decreasing wildtype:mutant ratio, consistent with the tetrameric structure of the channel. Most mutants also shortened the kinetics of deactivation. Similar studies with the G321S mutant (603537.0003) at the C terminus showed similar effects as those in the pore channel. Immunohistochemical studies showed that none of the pore mutant proteins localized to the plasma membrane when expressed alone, indicating a trafficking defect and retention in the ER. However, coexpression with the wildtype protein resulted in some membrane expression. These findings indicated functional channel defects associated with pathogenic KCNQ4 mutations, but also suggested an interaction with the wildtype protein resulting in different effects. Finally, the results of Kim et al. (2011) indicated that the F182L variant, identified in a Taiwanese patient with deafness (Su et al., 2007) had normal cell surface expression and functional features, suggesting that it is not pathogenic. </p>

To ensure long-term funding for the OMIM project, we have diversified
our revenue stream. We are determined to keep this website freely
accessible. Unfortunately, it is not free to produce. Expert curators
review the literature and organize it to facilitate your work. Over 90%
of the OMIM's operating expenses go to salary support for MD and PhD
science writers and biocurators. Please join your colleagues by making a
donation now and again in the future. Donations are an important
component of our efforts to ensure long-term funding to provide you the
information that you need at your fingertips.
