Vacuolar tandem-pore channels could not be analysed in Xenopus oocytes so far, due to misguided translocation. Owing to the conservation of their pore regions, we were able to prepare functional pore-chimeras between the plasma membrane localised TPK4 and vacuolar TPKs. Thereby, we found evidence that TPK2, TPK3 and TPK5, just like TPK4, form potassium-selective channels with instantaneous current kinetics. Homology modelling and mutational analyses identified a pore-located aspartate residue (Asp110), which is involved in potassium permeation as well as in inward rectification of TPK4. Furthermore, dominant-negative mutations in the selectivity filter of either pore one or two (Asp86, Asp200) rendered TPK4 non-functional. This observation supports the notion that the functional TPK4 channel complex is formed by two subunits. (C) 2010 Federation of European Biochemical Societies. Published by Elsevier B. V.
