1. We studied the gating kinetics of Kv4.2 channels, the molecular substrate of neuronal somatodendritic A-type currents. For this purpose wild-type and mutant channels were transiently expressed in the human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cell line and currents were measured in the whole-cell patch-clamp configuration.2. Kv4.2 channels inactivated from pre-open closed state(s) with a mean time constant of 959 ms at -50 mV. This closed-state inactivation was not affected by a deletion of the Kv4.2 N-terminus (Delta2-40).3. Kv4.2 currents at +40 mV inactivated with triple-exponential kinetics. A fast component (tau = 11 ms) accounted for 73%, an intermediate component (tau = 50 ms) for 23% and a slow component (tau = 668 ms) for 4% of the total decay.4. Both the fast and the intermediate components of inactivation were slowed by a deletion of the Kv4.2 N-terminus (tau = 35 and 111 ms) and accounted for 33 and 56%, respectively, of the total decay. The slow component was moderately accelerated by the truncation (tau = 346 ms) and accounted for 11% of the total Kv4.2 current inactivation.5. Recovery from open-state inactivation and recovery from closed-state inactivation occurred with similar kinetics in a strongly voltage-dependent manner. Neither recovery reaction was affected by the N-terminal truncation.6. Kv4.2 Delta2-40 channels displayed slowed deactivation kinetics, suggesting that the N-terminal truncation leads to a stabilization of the open7. Simulations with an allosteric model of inactivation, supported by the experimental data, suggested that, in response to membrane depolarization, Kv4.2 channels accumulate in the closed-inactivated state(s), from which they directly recover, bypassing the open state.
