"However, Pin1C113S induces a higher degree of reduction of UBE3A-Kv4.2 association when co-expressed with Kv4.2-DPP6 complexes compared to expression with Kv4.2-KChIP2 complexes ( xref ), suggesting that Kv4.2 phosphorylation and Pin1 isomerization increases UBE3A binding to Kv4.2."

"Using co-immunoprecipitation, they identified the short intracellular N-terminal domain (32 aa at the N-terminus) plus the transmembrane domain (total 54 aa) as important in facilitating DPP6-Kv4.2 interaction, while the extracellular C-terminal domain is required for trafficking out of the ER and membrane expression of Kv4.2 [ xref ]."

"Our previous study defined a Pin1 isomerase-dependent mechanism that regulates the composition of the Kv4.2-DPP6 complex, neuronal excitability, and cognitive flexibility. xref In response to activity, Kv4.2 is phosphorylated at T607 by p38 kinase, which triggers Pin1 binding to and isomerization of Kv4.2, resulting in Kv4.2-DPP6 dissociation. xref Kv4.2 and DPP6 have been implicated in neurological diseases, such as autism spectrum disorder, xref – xref temporal lobe epilepsy, xref , xref fragile X syndrome, xref , xref and neurodegeneration. xref In the present study, we identify Kv4.2 as an activity-dependent substrate of UBE3A via a tandem affinity purification-mass spectrometry (TAP-MS) pull-down assay."

"Future studies will determine if DPP10 is affected in the DPP6-KO; if it is a common associate in a complex with DPP6 and Kv4.2, then the loss of DPP6 could affect the levels of DPP10 and perhaps adversely affect the function of the potassium channel complexes and lead directly to some of the changes that we see in the DPP6-KO."

"Specifically, Kv4.2 and its association with DPP6 is key in regulating spike-timing-dependent long-term potentiation (STD LTP). xref We hypothesized that the dysregulation of Kv4.2-DPP6 complexes, increase in Kv4.2 protein levels, and Kv4.2-induced alterations in excitatory synaptic connectivity in SR of the hippocampus of AS mice may contribute to impairments in plasticity and learning and memory observed in the disease."
