The LQT1 locus (KCNQ1) has been correlated with the most common form of inherited long QT (LQT) syndrome. LQT patients suffer from syncopal episodes and high risk of sudden death. The KCNQ1 gene encodes KvLQT1 alpha-subunits, which together with auxiliary IsK (KCNE1, minK) subunits form IK(s) K(+) channels. Mutant KvLQT1 subunits may be associated either with an autosomal dominant form of inherited LQT, Romano-Ward syndrome, or an autosomal recessive form, Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS). We have identified a small domain between residues 589 and 620 in the KvLQT1 C-terminus, which may function as an assembly domain for KvLQT1 subunits. KvLQT1 C-termini do not assemble and KvLQT1 subunits do not express functional K(+) channels without this domain. We showed that a JLN deletion-insertion mutation at KvLQT1 residue 544 eliminates important parts of the C-terminal assembly domain. Therefore, JLN mutants may be defective in KvLQT1 subunit assembly. The results provide a molecular basis for the clinical observation that heterozygous JLN carriers show slight cardiac dysfunctions and that the severe JLNS phenotype is characterized by the absence of KvLQT1 channel.
