Heteromeric KCNQ5/Q3 channels were stably expressed in Chinese Hamster ovary cells and characterized using the whole cell voltage-clamp technique. KCNQ5/Q3 channels were activated by the novel anticonvulsant, retigabine (EC50, 1.4 muM) by a mechanism that involved drug-induced, leftward shifts in the voltage-dependence of channel activation (-31.8 mV by 30 muM retigabine). KCNQ5/Q3 channels were inhibited by linopirdine (IC50 7.7 muM) and barium (IC50, 0.46 mM), at concentrations similar to those required to inhibit native M-currents. These findings identify KCNQ5/Q3 channels as a molecular target for retigabine and raise the possibility that activation of KCNQ5/Q3 channels may be responsible for some of the anti-convulsant activity of this agent. Furthermore, the sensitivity of KCNQ5/Q3 channels to linopirdine supports the possibility that potassium channels comprised of KCNQ5 and KCNQ3 may make a contribution to native M-currents.
