"Our findings suggest that changes in the kinetics of activation of the IKs channel may predispose to arrhythmic risk in patients who harbor KCNQ1 mutations that are associated with a relatively mild effect on ion channel current and QTc duration."

"Although KCNQ1 alone can form functional ion channels on the plasma membrane, KCNQ1 is believed to form an ion channel complex with auxiliary subunit KCNE proteins ( xref ; xref ; xref )."

"Current activation becomes progressively slower as more KCNE1 subunits are added into the KCNQ1 ion channel tetramer compared with KCNQ1 alone ( xref , right to left panels)."

sparser
"As the Kv7.1 ion channel formed by the KCNQ1 gene requires tetramerization to function, in-frame pathogenic variants which are expressed at the RNA and protein level can potentially result in a more severe phenotype by interfering with the co-assembly of wildtype proteins (dominant-negative effect)."

"KCNE4 is one of the subunits of voltage-gated potassium ion channels, which can interact with KCNQ1 channels to form KCNQ1/KCNE4 ion channel complexes and participate in intracellular signal transduction."
