Many drugs block delayed rectifier K+ channels and prolong the cardiac action potential duration. Here we investigate the molecular mechanisms of voltage-dependent block of human ether-a-go-go-related gene (HERG) K channels expressed in cells HEK-293 and Xenopus oocytes by maprotiline. The IC50 determined at 0 mV on HERG expressed HEK-293 cell and oocytes was 5.2 and 23.7 mu M, respectively. Block of HERG expressed in oocytes by maprotiline was enhanced by progressive membrane depolarization and accompanied by a negative shift in the voltage dependence of channel activation. The potency of maprotiline was reduced 7-fold by point mutation of a key aromatic residue (F656T) and 3-fold for Y652A, both located in the S6 domain. The mutation Y652A inverted the voltage dependence of HERG channel block by maprotiline. Together, these results Suggest that voltage-dependent block of HERG results from gating dependent changes in the accessibility of Y652, a critical component of the drug binding site.
