Citation | Journal: Cell Rep / Year: 2026Title: Structure basis for the activation of KCNQ2 by endogenous and exogenous ligands. Authors: Yiwen Zhao / Zhenni Yang / Sai Shi / Han Hao / Xinmeng Li / Demin Ma / Nannan Su / Weixin Zhao / Jicheng Shao / Yating An / Ke Wang / Yinuo Liu / Lu Zou / Jinlong Qi / Hailin Zhang / Jiangtao Guo / Xiaona Du / ![]() Abstract: The voltage-gated potassium channel KCNQ2 is crucial for stabilizing neuronal membrane potential, and its mutations can cause various epilepsies. KCNQ2 is activated by endogenous ligand ...The voltage-gated potassium channel KCNQ2 is crucial for stabilizing neuronal membrane potential, and its mutations can cause various epilepsies. KCNQ2 is activated by endogenous ligand phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP) and exogenous ligands, yet the structural mechanisms underlying these activations remain unclear. Here, we report the cryo-electron microscopy structures of human KCNQ2 in complex with exogenous ligands QO-58 and QO-83 in the absence or presence of PIP in either closed or open conformation. While QO-83 binds in the classical fenestration pocket of the pore domain, QO-58 mainly binds at the flank of S4 in the voltage-sensing domain. These structures, along with electrophysiological assays and computational studies, provide mechanistic insights into the ligand activation of KCNQ2 and may guide the development of anti-epileptic drugs targeting KCNQ2. | |||||||||
