The Ca(2+)-binding protein, K(+) channel-interacting protein 1 (KChIP1), modulates Kv4 channels. We show here that KChIP1 affects Kv4.1 and Kv4.2 currents differently. KChIP1 slows Kv4.2 inactivation but accelerates the Kv4.1 inactivation time course. Kv4.2 activation is shifted in a hyperpolarizing direction, whereas a depolarizing shift occurs for Kv4.1. On the other hand, KChIP1 increases the current amplitudes and accelerates recovery from inactivation of both currents. An involvement of the Kv4 N-terminus in these differential effects is demonstrated using chimeras of Kv4.2 and Kv4.1. These results reveal a novel interaction of KChIP1 with these two Kv4 members. This represents a mechanism to further increase the functional diversity of K(+) channels.
