Tertiapin (TPN), a small protein derived from honey bee venom, inhibits the GIRK1/4 and ROMK1 channels with nanomolar affinities. Methionine residue 13 in TPN interacts with residue F148 in the channel, located just outside of the narrow region of the

Inward-rectifier K+ channels are a group of highly specialized K+ channels that accomplish a variety of important biological tasks. Inward-rectifier K+ channels differ from voltage-activated K+ channels not only functionally but also structurally. Each of the four subunits of the

Tertiapin-Q (TPN(Q)) is a derivative of honey bee toxin tertiapin (TPN) whose methionine residue is replaced with a glutamine residue. TPN(Q) inhibits the ROMK1 and GIRK1/4 inward-rectifier K(+) channels with affinities very similar to TPN. However, unlike native TPN, TPN(Q)
