KAT1‐type channels mediate K+ influx into guard cells that enables stomatal opening. In this study, a KAT1‐type channel AmKAT1 was cloned from the xerophyte Ammopiptanthus mongolicus. In contrast to most KAT1‐type channels, its activation is strongly dependent on external K+ concentration, so it can be used as a model to explore the mechanism for the K+‐dependent gating of KAT1‐type channels. Domain swapping between AmKAT1 and KAT1 reveals that the S5–pore–S6 region controls the K+ dependence of AmKAT1, and residue substitutions show that multiple residues within the S5–Pore linker and Pore are involved in its K+‐dependent gating. Importantly, complex interactions occur among these residues, and it is these interactions that determine its K+ dependence. Finally, we analyzed the potential mechanism for the K+ dependence of AmKAT1, which could originate from the requirement of K+ occupancy in the selectivity filter to maintain its conductive conformation. These results provide new insights into the molecular basis of the K+‐dependent gating of KAT1‐type channels. 相似文献

Trichogin GA IV, an antimicrobial peptaibol, exerts its function by augmenting membrane permeability, but the molecular aspects of its pore‐forming mechanism are still debated. Several lines of evidence indicate a ‘barrel‐stave’ channel structure, similar to that of alamethicin, but the length of a trichogin helix is too short to span a normal bilayer. Herein, we present electrophysiology measurements in planar bilayers, showing that trichogin does form channels of a well‐defined size (R=4.2?109 Ω; corresponding at least to a trimeric aggregate) that span the membrane and allow ion diffusion, but do not exhibit voltage‐dependent rectification, unlike those of alamethicin. 相似文献

The Arabidopsis K+ channel KAT1 complements in K+-limited medium the growth of the K+ uptake defective Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutant strain CY162, while another K+ channel, AKT2, does not. To gain insight into the structural basis for this difference, we constructed 12 recombinant chimeric channels from these two genes. When expressed in CY162, only three of these chimeras fully rescued the growth of CY162 under K+-limited conditions. We conclude that the transmembrane core region of KAT1 is important for its activity in S. cerevisiae. This involves not only the pore region but also parts of its voltage-sensor domain. 相似文献

Abstract In this study, structural model of the pore loop region of the voltage-gated potassium channel Kv1.1 from human Homo sapiens was constructed based on the crystallographic structure of KcsA by structural homology. The pore loop region of Kv1.1 exhibits similar folds as that of KcsA. The structural feature of the selectivity filter of Kv1.1 is nearly identical to that of KcsA, whereas most of the structural variations occur in the turret as well as in the inner and outer helices. Molecular docking experiments of the scorpion toxin Tc1 from Tityus cambridgei to the outer vestibule of KcsA as well as Kv1.1 were subsequently performed with various initial Tc1 orientations. Tc1 was found to form the most stable complexes with these two K+ channels when the side chain of Lys14 occupies the pore of the selectivity filter through electrostatic interaction. Tc1 binds preferentially towards Kv1.1 than KcsA due to stronger hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions formed between the toxin and the selectivity filter and outer vestibule of Kv1.1. Furthermore, surface complementarity of the outer vestibules of the channels to the Tc1 spatial conformations also plays an important role in stabilizing both the Tc1/KcsA and Tc1/Kv1.1 complexes. 相似文献

Cyclic nucleotide‐sensitive ion channels, known as HCN and CNG channels, are crucial in neuronal excitability and signal transduction of sensory cells. HCN and CNG channels are activated by binding of cyclic nucleotides to their intracellular cyclic nucleotide‐binding domain (CNBD). However, the mechanism by which the binding of cyclic nucleotides opens these channels is not well understood. Here, we report the solution structure of the isolated CNBD of a cyclic nucleotide‐sensitive K+ channel from Mesorhizobium loti. The protein consists of a wide anti‐parallel β‐roll topped by a helical bundle comprising five α‐helices and a short 310‐helix. In contrast to the dimeric arrangement (‘dimer‐of‐dimers’) in the crystal structure, the solution structure clearly shows a monomeric fold. The monomeric structure of the CNBD supports the hypothesis that the CNBDs transmit the binding signal to the channel pore independently of each other. 相似文献

Voltage‐gated calcium channels (VGCCs) represent the sole mechanism to convert membrane depolarization into cellular functions like secretion, contraction, or gene regulation. VGCCs consist of a pore‐forming α1 subunit and several auxiliary channel subunits. These subunits come in multiple isoforms and splice‐variants giving rise to a stunning molecular diversity of possible subunit combinations. It is generally believed that specific auxiliary subunits differentially regulate the channels and thereby contribute to the great functional diversity of VGCCs. If auxiliary subunits can associate and dissociate from pre‐existing channel complexes, this would allow dynamic regulation of channel properties. However, most auxiliary subunits modulate current properties very similarly, and proof that any cellular calcium channel function is indeed modulated by the physiological exchange of auxiliary subunits is still lacking. In this review we summarize available information supporting a differential modulation of calcium channel functions by exchange of auxiliary subunits, as well as experimental evidence in support of alternative functions of the auxiliary subunits. At the heart of the discussion is the concept that, in their native environment, VGCCs function in the context of macromolecular signaling complexes and that the auxiliary subunits help to orchestrate the diverse protein–protein interactions found in these calcium channel signalosomes. Thus, in addition to a putative differential modulation of current properties, differential subcellular targeting properties and differential protein–protein interactions of the auxiliary subunits may explain the need for their vast molecular diversity.

Recent advances in structural biology underlying mechanisms of channel gating have strengthened our knowledge about how K+ channels can be inter-convertible between conductive and non-conductive states. We have reviewed and combined mutagenesis
with biochemical, biophysical and structural information in order to understand the critical roles of the pore residues in
stabilizing the pore structure and channel open state. We also discuss how the latest knowledge on the K+ channel KcsA may provide a step towards better understanding of distinct pore stabilizing differences among diversified K+ channels. 相似文献

Voltage‐gated K+ channels co‐assemble with auxiliary β subunits to form macromolecular complexes. In heart, assembly of Kv7.1 pore‐forming subunits with KCNE1 β subunits generates the repolarizing K+ current IKS. However, the detailed nature of their interface remains unknown. Mutations in either Kv7.1 or KCNE1 produce the life‐threatening long or short QT syndromes. Here, we studied the interactions and voltage‐dependent motions of IKS channel intracellular domains, using fluorescence resonance energy transfer combined with voltage‐clamp recording and in vitro binding of purified proteins. The results indicate that the KCNE1 distal C‐terminus interacts with the coiled‐coil helix C of the Kv7.1 tetramerization domain. This association is important for IKS channel assembly rules as underscored by Kv7.1 current inhibition produced by a dominant‐negative C‐terminal domain. On channel opening, the C‐termini of Kv7.1 and KCNE1 come close together. Co‐expression of Kv7.1 with the KCNE1 long QT mutant D76N abolished the K+ currents and gated motions. Thus, during channel gating KCNE1 is not static. Instead, the C‐termini of both subunits experience molecular motions, which are disrupted by the D76N causing disease mutation. 相似文献

F‐ATP synthases convert the electrochemical energy of the H+ gradient into the chemical energy of ATP with remarkable efficiency. Mitochondrial F‐ATP synthases can also undergo a Ca2+‐dependent transformation to form channels with properties matching those of the permeability transition pore (PTP), a key player in cell death. The Ca2+ binding site and the mechanism(s) through which Ca2+ can transform the energy‐conserving enzyme into a dissipative structure promoting cell death remain unknown. Through in vitro, in vivo and in silico studies we (i) pinpoint the “Ca2+‐trigger site” of the PTP to the catalytic site of the F‐ATP synthase β subunit and (ii) define a conformational change that propagates from the catalytic site through OSCP and the lateral stalk to the inner membrane. T163S mutants of the β subunit, which show a selective decrease in Ca2+‐ATP hydrolysis, confer resistance to Ca2+‐induced, PTP‐dependent death in cells and developing zebrafish embryos. These findings are a major advance in the molecular definition of the transition of F‐ATP synthase to a channel and of its role in cell death. 相似文献

Calcium channels in the plasma membrane of root cells fulfill both nutritional and signaling roles. The permeability of these
channels to different cations determines the magnitude of their cation conductances, their effects on cell membrane potential
and their contribution to cation toxicities. The selectivity of the rca channel, a Ca2+-permeable channel from the plasma membrane of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) roots, was studied following its incorporation into planar lipid bilayers. The permeation of K+, Na+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ through the pore of the rca channel was modeled. It was assumed that cations permeated in single file through a pore with three energy barriers and two
ion-binding sites. Differences in permeation between divalent and monovalent cations were attributed largely to the affinity
of the ion binding sites. The model suggested that significant negative surface charge was present in the vestibules to the
pore and that the pore could accommodate two cations simultaneously, which repelled each other strongly. The pore structure
of the rca channel appeared to differ from that of L-type calcium channels from animal cell membranes since its ion binding sites had
a lower affinity for divalent cations. The model adequately accounted for the diverse permeation phenomena observed for the
rca channel. It described the apparent submillimolar K
m
for the relationship between unitary conductance and Ca2+ activity, the differences in selectivity sequences obtained from measurements of conductance and permeability ratios, the
changes in relative cation permeabilities with solution ionic composition, and the complex effects of Ca2+ on K+ and Na+ currents through the channel. Having established the adequacy of the model, it was used to predict the unitary currents that
would be observed under the ionic conditions employed in patch-clamp experiments and to demonstrate the high selectivity of
the rca channel for Ca2+ influx under physiological conditions.

Potassium channels in plants play a variety of important physiological roles including K+ uptake into roots, stomatal and leaf movements, and release of K+ into the xylem. This review summarizes current knowledge about a class of plant genes whose products are K+ channel-forming proteins. Potassium channels of this class belong to a superfamily characterized by six membrane-spanning domains (S1-6), a positively charged S4 domain and a region between the S5 and S6 segments that forms the channel selectivity filter. These channels are voltage dependent, which means the membrane potential modifies the probability of opening (Po). However, despite these channels sharing the same topology as the outward-rectifying K+ channels, which are activated by membrane depolarization, some plant K+ channels such as KAT1/2 and KST1 open with hyperpolarizing voltages. In outward-rectifying K+ channels, the change in Po is achieved through a voltage sensor formed by the S4 segment that detects the voltage transferring its energy to the gate that controls pore opening. This coupling is achieved by an outward displacement of the charges contained in S4. In KAT1, most of the results indicate that S4 is the voltage sensor. However, how the movement of S4 leads to opening remains unanswered. On the basis of recent data, we propose here that in plant-inward rectifiers an inward movement of S4 leads to channel opening and that the difference between it and outward-rectifying channels resides in the mechanism that couples gating charge displacement with pore opening. 相似文献

Voltage-gated K+ channels underlie the electrical excitability of cells. Each subunit of the functional tetramer consists of the tandem fusion of two modules, an N-terminal voltage-sensor and a C-terminal pore. To investigate how sensor coupling to the pore generates voltage-dependent channel opening, we solved the crystal structure and characterized the function of a voltage-gated K+ channel pore in a lipid membrane. The structure of a functional channel in a membrane environment at 3.1 Å resolution establishes an unprecedented connection between channel structure and function. The structure is unique in delineating an ion-occupied ready to conduct selectivity filter, a confined aqueous cavity, and a closed activation gate, embodying a dynamic entity trapped in an unstable closed state. 相似文献

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is caused by mutations in two genes, PKD1 and PKD2, which encode polycystin‐1 (PC1) and polycystin‐2 (PC2), respectively. Earlier work has shown that PC1 and PC2 assemble into a polycystin complex implicated in kidney morphogenesis. PC2 also assembles into homomers of uncertain functional significance. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms that direct polycystin complex assembly and specify its functions. We have identified a coiled coil in the C‐terminus of PC2 that functions as a homodimerization domain essential for PC1 binding but not for its self‐oligomerization. Dimerization‐defective PC2 mutants were unable to reconstitute PC1/PC2 complexes either at the plasma membrane (PM) or at PM‐endoplasmic reticulum (ER) junctions but could still function as ER Ca2+‐release channels. Expression of dimerization‐defective PC2 mutants in zebrafish resulted in a cystic phenotype but had lesser effects on organ laterality. We conclude that C‐terminal dimerization of PC2 specifies the formation of polycystin complexes but not formation of ER‐localized PC2 channels. Mutations that affect PC2 C‐terminal homo‐ and heteromerization are the likely molecular basis of cyst formation in ADPKD. 相似文献

Proteins of the conserved HORMA domain family, including the spindle assembly checkpoint protein MAD2 and the meiotic HORMADs, assemble into signaling complexes by binding short peptides termed “closure motifs”. The AAA+ ATPase TRIP13 regulates both MAD2 and meiotic HORMADs by disassembling these HORMA domain–closure motif complexes, but its mechanisms of substrate recognition and remodeling are unknown. Here, we combine X‐ray crystallography and crosslinking mass spectrometry to outline how TRIP13 recognizes MAD2 with the help of the adapter protein p31comet. We show that p31comet binding to the TRIP13 N‐terminal domain positions the disordered MAD2 N‐terminus for engagement by the TRIP13 “pore loops”, which then unfold MAD2 in the presence of ATP. N‐terminal truncation of MAD2 renders it refractory to TRIP13 action in vitro, and in cells causes spindle assembly checkpoint defects consistent with loss of TRIP13 function. Similar truncation of HORMAD1 in mouse spermatocytes compromises its TRIP13‐mediated removal from meiotic chromosomes, highlighting a conserved mechanism for recognition and disassembly of HORMA domain–closure motif complexes by TRIP13. 相似文献

The plant Shaker K+ channel AtAKT2 has been identified as a weakly rectifying channel that can stabilize membrane potentials to promote photoassimilate phloem loading and translocation. Thus, studies on functional characterization and regulatory mechanisms of AtAKT2‐like channels in crops are highly important for improving crop production. Here, we identified the rice OsAKT2 as the ortholog of Arabidopsis AtAKT2, which is primarily expressed in the shoot phloem and localized at the plasma membrane. Using an electrophysiological assay, we found that OsAKT2 operated as a weakly rectifying K+ channel, preventing H+/sucrose‐symport‐induced membrane depolarization. Three critical amino acid residues (K193, N206, and S326) are essential to the phosphorylation‐mediated gating change of OsAKT2, consistent with the roles of the corresponding sites in AtAKT2. Disruption of OsAKT2 results in delayed growth of rice seedlings under short‐day conditions. Interestingly, the lipid second messenger phosphatidic acid (PA) inhibits OsAKT2‐mediated currents (both instantaneous and time‐dependent components). Lipid dot‐blot assay and liposome‐protein binding analysis revealed that PA directly bound with two adjacent arginine residues in the ANK domain of OsAKT2, which is essential to PA‐mediated inhibition of OsAKT2. Electrophysiological and phenotypic analyses also showed the PA‐mediated inhibition of AtAKT2 and the negative correlation between intrinsic PA level and Arabidopsis growth, suggesting that PA may inhibit AKT2 function to affect plant growth and development. Our results functionally characterize the Shaker K+ channel OsAKT2 and reveal a direct link between phospholipid signaling and plant K+ channel modulation. 相似文献

The NaChBac prokaryotic sodium channel appears to be a descendent of an evolutionary link between voltage-gated KV and CaV channels. Like KV channels, four identical six-transmembrane subunits comprise the NaChBac channel, but its selectivity filter possesses a signature sequence of eukaryotic CaV channels. We developed structural models of the NaChBac channel in closed and open conformations, using K+-channel crystal structures as initial templates. Our models were also consistent with numerous experimental results and modeling criteria. This study concerns the pore domain. The major differences between our models and K+ crystal structures involve the latter portion of the selectivity filter and the bend region in S6 of the open conformation. These NaChBac models may serve as a stepping stone between K+ channels of known structure and NaV, CaV, and TRP channels of unknown structure. 相似文献

Voltage-dependent potassium uptake channels represent the major pathway for K+ accumulation underlying guard cell swelling and stomatal opening. The core structure of these Shaker-like channels is represented by six transmembrane domains and an amphiphilic pore-forming region between the fifth and sixth domain. To explore the effect of point mutations within the stretch of amino acids lining the K+ conducting pore of KAT1, an Arabidopsis thaliana guard cell Kin channel, we selected residues deep inside and in the periphery of the pore. The mutations on positions 256 and 267 strongly altered the interaction of the permeation pathway with external Ca2+ ions. Point mutations on position 256 in KAT1 affected the affinity towards Ca2+, the voltage dependence as well as kinetics of the Ca2+ blocking reaction. Among these T256S showed a Ca2+ phenotype reminiscent of an inactivation-like process, a phenomenon unknown for Kin channels so far. Mutating histidine 267 to alanine, a substitution strongly affecting C-type inactivation in Shaker, this apparent inactivation could be linked to a very slow calcium block. The mutation H267A did not affect gating but hastened the Ca2+ block/unblock kinetics and increased the Ca2+ affinity of KAT1. From the analysis of the presented data we conclude that even moderate point mutations in the pore of KAT1 seem to affect the pore geometry rather than channel gating. 相似文献

In hypertonic solutions made by adding nonelectrolytes, K+ channels of squid giant axons opened at usual asymmetrical K+ concentrations in two different time courses; an initial instantaneous activation (I
IN) and a sigmoidal activation typical of a delayed rectifier K+ channel (I
D). The current–voltage relation curve for I
IN was fitted well with Goldman equation described with a periaxonal K+ concentration at the membrane potential above −10 mV. Using the activation–voltage curve obtained from tail currents, K+ channels for I
IN are confirmed to activate at the membrane potential that is lower by 50 mV than those for I
D. Both I
IN and I
D closed similarly at the holding potential below −100 mV. The logarithm of I
IN/I
D was linearly related with the osmolarity for various nonelectrolytes. Solute inaccessible volumes obtained from the slope
increased with the nonelectrolyte size from 15 to 85 water molecules. K+ channels representing I
D were blocked by open channel blocker tetra-butyl ammonium (TBA) more efficiently than in the absence of I
IN, which was explained by the mechanism that K+ channels for I
D were first converted to those for I
IN by the osmotic pressure and then blocked. So K+ channels for I
IN were suggested to be derived from the delayed rectifier K+ channels. Therefore, the osmotic pressure is suggested to exert delayed-rectifier K+ channels to open in shrinking rather hydrophilic flexible parts outside the pore than the pore itself, which is compatible
with the recent structure of open K+ channel pore. 相似文献

The permeability transition pore as a mitochondrial calcium release channel: A critical appraisal 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19
Mitochondria from a variety of sources possess an inner membrane channel, the permeability transition pore. The pore is a voltage-dependent channel, activated by matrix Ca2+ and inhibited by matrix H+, which can be blocked by cyclosporin A, presumably after binding to mitochondrial cyclophilin. The physiological function of the permeability transition pore remains unknown. Here we evaluate its potential role as a fast Ca2+ release channel involved in mitochondrial and cellular Ca2+ homeostasis. We (i) discuss the theoretical and experimental reasons why mitochondria need a fast, inducible Ca2+ release channel; (ii) analyze the striking analogies between the mitochondrial permeability transition pore and the sarcoplasmic reticulum ryanodine receptor-Ca2+ release channel; (iii) argue that the permeability transition pore can act as a selective release channel for Ca2+ despite its apparent lack of selectivity for the transported speciesin vitro; and (iv) discuss the importance of mitochondria in cellular Ca2+ homeostasis, and how disruption of this function could impinge upon cell viability, particularly under conditions of oxidative stress. 相似文献
