FK1, a ferret ventricular full-length cDNA clone, encodes a 654-amino acid protein with 98% identity to human K+ transient outward current (Ito)-like HK1 (Tamkun et al. FASEB J.5: 331-337, 1991). FK1 is detectable in ferret brain, atrium, left and right ventricle, and kidney but not in skeletal muscle, endothelial cells, aorta, and liver. In Xenopus oocytes, FK1 cRNA gives rise to a rapidly activating and inactivating Ito-like current, which is highly K+ selective (Na(+)-to-K+ permeability ratio = 0.003). Activation occurs over an approximately 50-mV range (-40 to +10 mV) and displays a sigmoid delay in onset with potential-dependent time constants that decrease with depolarization. Steady-state activation can be described with either a simple Boltzmann relationship [half-activation potential (V1/2) = -25 mV, slope (k) = 10 mV] or a Boltzmann relationship raised to either the third or fourth power (alpha 3: V1/2 = -43 mV, kappa = 13.1 mV; alpha 4: V1/2 = -48 mV, kappa = 13.6 mV, where alpha is the activation variable). Inactivation kinetics are biexponential, with the main fast time constant becoming independent of membrane potential depolarized to 0 mV. Steady-state inactivation can be described with a single Boltzmann relationship (V1/2 = -57 mV, kappa = 5.0 mV). Fast inactivation is removed by NH2-terminal deletions. Recovery from inactivation (-90 mV) is quite slow (half-time = 4.8 +/- 2.5 s). In 2 mM extracellular K+ concentration ([K+]o), FK1 tail currents display conventional deactivation behavior; however, in 98 mM [K+]o the tail currents display "reopening" behavior. These results suggest a molecular basis for the electrophysiological similarities between ferret and human ventricular Ito (Campbell et al. J. Gen. Physiol. 101: 571-601, 1993; Näbauer et al. Circ. Res. 73: 386-394, 1993).
