The RS1 gene on Xp 22.13 encodes retinoschisin which is known to directly interact with the retinal Na/K-ATPase at the photoreceptor inner segments. Pathologic mutations in RS1 cause X-linked juvenile retinoschisis (XLRS), a hereditary retinal dystrophy in young males. To further delineate the retinoschisin-Na/K-ATPase complex, co-immunoprecipitation was performed with porcine and murine retinal lysates targeting the ATP1A3 subunit. This identified the voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channel subunits Kv2.1 and Kv8.2 as direct interaction partners of the retinal Na/K-ATPase. Colocalization of the individual components of the complex was demonstrated at the membrane of photoreceptor inner segments. We further show that retinoschisin-deficiency, a frequent consequence of molecular pathology in XLRS, causes mislocalization of the macromolecular complex during postnatal retinal development with a simultaneous reduction of Kv2.1 and Kv8.2 protein expression, while the level of retinal Na/K-ATPase expression remains unaffected. Patch-clamp analysis revealed no effect of retinoschisin-deficiency on Kv channel mediated potassium ion currents in vitro. Together, our data suggest that Kv2.1 and Kv8.2 together with retinoschisin and the retinal Na/K-ATPase are integral parts of a macromolecular complex at the photoreceptor inner segments. Defective compartmentalization of this complex due to retinoschisin-deficiency may be a crucial step in initial XLRS pathogenesis.
