"These data, combined with previous studies of PLD2 activation of TREK-1, led us to propose a model where PIP 2 can directly antagonize TREK-1."

reach
"However, crude increases in PIP 2 concentration after initial activation have been shown to inactivate TREK-1 in cell culture, consistent with our direct PIP 2 antagonism playing a role in vivo."

reach
"Exogenous PIP 2 application was reported to reduce TREK1 response to various activating stimuli, including acidosis and membrane stretch."

reach
"Later the same authors reported that PIP application can also produce TREK-1 inhibition (Chemin et al, 2007)."

reach
"Our assay shows PIP 2 binds with high affinity (0.87 mM) but surprisingly can directly antagonize TREK-1 in liposomes."

reach
"Because PIP 2 appears to antagonize TREK-1, it is unclear whether binding of small molecules is directly competing or if there are multiple conformations that lead to antagonism."

reach
"For example, PIP 2 inhibits TREK-1 while PA activates and PA saturation inhibits K ir 2 channels while PIP 2 activates (Box 1) [XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR]."

reach
"Furthermore, in liposomes, PIP caused inhibition of TREK-1 K flux in the presence of PG, suggesting that PIP might cause inhibition by competitive displacement of the strongly activatory lipids such as PG or PA (Cabanos et al., 2017)."

reach
"So why does PIP 2 antagonize TREK-1 in liposomes when PA and PG are activating?"

reach
"Channels like TREK-1 that are agonized by PA and directly inhibited by PIP 2 [XREF_BIBR] are likely the most affected since PEtOH and PIP 2 would combine to antagonize PA, and PA is in relatively low concentrations in the cell."
