Kv4.2 internalization requires PKA phosphorylation at Ser 552. A, Representative images show that AMPA (50 μm) does not induce redistribution of Kv4.2gS552A from dendritic spines. AMPA treatment (n = 23 neurons, 1908 spines) had no effect on the percentage of spines containing Kv4.2gS552A (92.17 ± 1.49%), compared with control (93.89 ± 0.87%; n = 25 neurons, 3247 spines; p = 0.33). B, FSK (10 μm; n = 6) significantly reduces the peak current density of IA compared with untreated cultured neurons expressing Kv4.2g (Cont; n = 8; *p < 0.05). This effect was not observed in cultured neurons expressing Kv4.2S552A (Cont, n = 6; FSK, n = 8; p = 0.65). All data are mean ± SE.
