Engineered interaction between SUR1 and Kir6.2 that enhances ATP sensitivity in KATP channels.

ABSTRACT: The ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channel consisting of the inward rectifier Kir6.2 and SUR1 (sulfonylurea receptor 1) couples cell metabolism to membrane excitability and regulates insulin secretion. Inhibition by intracellular ATP is a hallmark feature of the channel. ATP sensitivity is conferred by Kir6.2 but enhanced by SUR1. The mechanism by which SUR1 increases channel ATP sensitivity is not understood. In this study, we report molecular interactions between SUR1 and Kir6.2 that markedly alter channel ATP sensitivity. Channels bearing an E203K mutation in SUR1 and a Q52E in Kir6.2 exhibit ATP sensitivity ∼100-fold higher than wild-type channels. Cross-linking of E203C in SUR1 and Q52C in Kir6.2 locks the channel in a closed state and is reversible by reducing agents, demonstrating close proximity of the two residues. Our results reveal that ATP sensitivity in K(ATP) channels is a dynamic parameter dictated by interactions between SUR1 and Kir6.2.

Engineered Kir6.2 mutations that correct the trafficking defect of K(ATP) channels caused by specific SUR1 mutations.

Project description:KATP channels consisting of Kir6.2 and SUR1 couple cell metabolism to membrane excitability and regulate insulin secretion. The molecular interactions between SUR1 and Kir6.2 that govern channel gating and biogenesis are incompletely understood. In a recent study, we showed that a SUR1 and Kir6.2 mutation pair, E203K-SUR1 and Q52E-Kir6.2, at the SUR1/Kir6.2 interface near the plasma membrane increases the ATP-sensitivity of the channel by nearly 100-fold. Here, we report the finding that the same mutation pair also suppresses channel folding/trafficking defects caused by select SUR1 mutations in the first transmembrane domain of SUR1. Analysis of the contributions from individual mutations, however, revealed that the correction effect is attributed largely to Q52E-Kir6.2 alone. Moreover, the correction is dependent on the negative charge of the substituting amino acid at the Q52 position in Kir6.2. Our study demonstrates for the first time that engineered mutations in Kir6.2 can correct the biogenesis defect caused by specific mutations in the SUR1 subunit.

Sulfonylureas suppress the stimulatory action of Mg-nucleotides on Kir6.2/SUR1 but not Kir6.2/SUR2A KATP channels: a mechanistic study.

Project description:Sulfonylureas, which stimulate insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells, are widely used to treat both type 2 diabetes and neonatal diabetes. These drugs mediate their effects by binding to the sulfonylurea receptor subunit (SUR) of the ATP-sensitive K(+) (KATP) channel and inducing channel closure. The mechanism of channel inhibition is unusually complex. First, sulfonylureas act as partial antagonists of channel activity, and second, their effect is modulated by MgADP. We analyzed the molecular basis of the interactions between the sulfonylurea gliclazide and Mg-nucleotides on β-cell and cardiac types of KATP channel (Kir6.2/SUR1 and Kir6.2/SUR2A, respectively) heterologously expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes. The SUR2A-Y1206S mutation was used to confer gliclazide sensitivity on SUR2A. We found that both MgATP and MgADP increased gliclazide inhibition of Kir6.2/SUR1 channels and reduced inhibition of Kir6.2/SUR2A-Y1206S. The latter effect can be attributed to stabilization of the cardiac channel open state by Mg-nucleotides. Using a Kir6.2 mutation that renders the KATP channel insensitive to nucleotide inhibition (Kir6.2-G334D), we showed that gliclazide abolishes the stimulatory effects of MgADP and MgATP on β-cell KATP channels. Detailed analysis suggests that the drug both reduces nucleotide binding to SUR1 and impairs the efficacy with which nucleotide binding is translated into pore opening. Mutation of one (or both) of the Walker A lysines in the catalytic site of the nucleotide-binding domains of SUR1 may have a similar effect to gliclazide on MgADP binding and transduction, but it does not appear to impair MgATP binding. Our results have implications for the therapeutic use of sulfonylureas.

3-D structural and functional characterization of the purified KATP channel complex Kir6.2-SUR1.

Project description:ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels conduct potassium ions across cell membranes and thereby couple cellular energy metabolism to membrane electrical activity. Here, we report the heterologous expression and purification of a functionally active K(ATP) channel complex composed of pore-forming Kir6.2 and regulatory SUR1 subunits, and determination of its structure at 18 A resolution by single-particle electron microscopy. The purified channel shows ATP-ase activity similar to that of ATP-binding cassette proteins related to SUR1, and supports Rb(+) fluxes when reconstituted into liposomes. It has a compact structure, with four SUR1 subunits embracing a central Kir6.2 tetramer in both transmembrane and cytosolic domains. A cleft between adjacent SUR1s provides a route by which ATP may access its binding site on Kir6.2. The nucleotide-binding domains of adjacent SUR1 appear to interact, and form a large docking platform for cytosolic proteins. The structure, in combination with molecular modelling, suggests how SUR1 interacts with Kir6.2.

Phentolamine block of KATP channels is mediated by Kir6.2.

Project description:The ATP-sensitive K+-channel (KATP channel) plays a key role in insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells. It is closed both by glucose metabolism and the sulfonylurea drugs that are used in the treatment of noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, thereby initiating a membrane depolarization that activates voltage-dependent Ca2+ entry and insulin release. The beta cell KATP channel is a complex of two proteins: Kir6.2 and SUR1. The former is an ATP-sensitive K+-selective pore, whereas SUR1 is a channel regulator that endows Kir6.2 with sensitivity to sulfonylureas. A number of drugs containing an imidazoline moiety, such as phentolamine, also act as potent stimulators of insulin secretion, but their mechanism of action is unknown. We have used a truncated form of Kir6.2, which expresses independently of SUR1, to show that phentolamine does not inhibit KATP channels by interacting with SUR1. Instead, our results argue that phentolamine may interact directly with Kir6.2 to produce a voltage-independent reduction in channel activity. The single-channel conductance is unaffected. Although the ATP molecule also contains an imidazoline group, the site at which phentolamine blocks is not identical to the ATP-inhibitory site, because phentolamine block of an ATP-insensitive mutant (K185Q) is normal. KATP channels also are found in the heart where they are involved in the response to cardiac ischemia: they also are blocked by phentolamine. Our results suggest that this may be because Kir6.2, which is expressed in the heart, forms the pore of the cardiac KATP channel.

Inward and outward currents of native and cloned K(ATP) channels (Kir6.2/SUR1) share single-channel kinetic properties.

Project description:BackgroundThe ATP-sensitive K+ (K(ATP)) channel is found in a variety of tissues extending from the heart and vascular smooth muscles to the endocrine pancreas and brain. Common to all K(ATP) channels is the pore-forming subunit Kir6.x, a member of the family of small inwardly rectifying K+ channels, and the regulatory subunit sulfonylurea receptor (SURx). In insulin secreting β-cells in the endocrine part of the pancreas, where the channel is best studied, the K(ATP) channel consists of Kir6.2 and SUR1. Under physiological conditions, the K(ATP) channel current flow is outward at membrane potentials more positive than the K+ equilibrium potential around -80 mV. However, K(ATP) channel kinetics have been extensively investigated for inward currents and the single-channel kinetic model is based on this type of recording, whereas only a limited amount of work has focused on outward current kinetics.MethodsWe have estimated the kinetic properties of both native and cloned K(ATP) channels under varying ionic gradients and membrane potentials using the patch-clamp technique.ResultsAnalyses of outward currents in K(ATP) and cloned Kir6.2ΔC26 channels, alone or co-expressed with SUR1, show openings that are not grouped in bursts as seen for inward currents. Burst duration for inward current corresponds well to open time for outward current.ConclusionsOutward K(ATP) channel currents are not grouped in bursts regardless of membrane potential, and channel open time for outward currents corresponds to burst duration for inward currents.

Effects of mitiglinide (S 21403) on Kir6.2/SUR1, Kir6.2/SUR2A and Kir6.2/SUR2B types of ATP-sensitive potassium channel.

Project description:1. We have investigated the mechanism of action of the novel anti-diabetic agent mitiglinide (S 21403) on Kir6.2/SUR1, Kir6.2/SUR2A and Kir6.2/SUR2B types of ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channel. These possess a common pore-forming subunit, Kir6.2, and different regulatory sulphonylurea receptor (SUR) subunits. It is believed that they correspond to native K(ATP) channels in pancreatic beta-cells, heart and non-vascular smooth muscle, respectively. 2. Kir6.2 was coexpressed with SUR1, SUR2A or SUR2B in Xenopus oocytes and macroscopic currents were recorded in giant inside-out membrane patches. Mitiglinide was added to the intracellular membrane surface. 3. Mitiglinide inhibited Kir6.2/SUR currents at two sites: a low-affinity site on Kir6.2 and a high-affinity site on SUR. Low-affinity inhibition was similar for all three types of K(ATP) channel but high-affinity inhibition was greater for Kir6.2/SUR1 currents (IC(50), 4 nM) than for Kir6.2/SUR2A or Kir6.2/SUR2B currents (IC(50), 3 and 5 microM, respectively). 4. Inhibition of Kir6.2/SUR1 currents was only slowly reversible on the time scale of electrophysiological experiments. 5. Kir6.2/SUR1-S1237Y currents, which previously have been shown to lack high affinity tolbutamide inhibition, resembled Kir6.2/SUR2 currents in being unaffected by 100 nM but blocked by 10 microM mitiglinide. 6. Our results show that mitiglinide is a high-affinity drug that shows a 1000 fold greater affinity for the beta-cell type than the cardiac and smooth muscle types of K(ATP) channel, when measured in excised patches.

An in-frame deletion in Kir6.2 (KCNJ11) causing neonatal diabetes reveals a site of interaction between Kir6.2 and SUR1.

Project description:Activating mutations in genes encoding the Kir6.2 (KCNJ11) and SUR1 (ABCC8) subunits of the pancreatic ATP-sensitive K(+) channel are a common cause of permanent neonatal diabetes (PNDM). All Kir6.2 mutations identified to date are missense mutations. We describe here a novel in-frame deletion (residues 28-32) in Kir6.2 in a heterozygous patient with PNDM without neurological problems that are detectable by standard evaluation. The aim of the study was to identify the mutation responsible for neonatal diabetes in this patient and characterize its functional effects. Wild-type and mutant Kir6.2/SUR1 channels were examined by heterologous expression in Xenopus oocytes. The Kir6.2-28Delta32 mutation produced a significant decrease in ATP inhibition and an increase in whole-cell K(ATP) currents, explaining the diabetes of the patient. Tolbutamide block was only slightly reduced in the simulated heterozygous state, suggesting that the patient should respond to sulfonylurea therapy. The mutation decreased ATP inhibition indirectly, by increasing the intrinsic (unliganded) channel open probability. Neither effect was observed when Kir6.2 was expressed in the absence of SUR1, suggesting that the mutation impairs coupling between SUR1 and Kir6.2. Coimmunoprecipitation studies further revealed that the mutation disrupted a physical interaction between Kir6.2 and residues 1-288 (but not residues 1-196) of SUR1. We report a novel KCNJ11 mutation causing PNDM. Our results show that residues 28-32 in the N terminus of Kir6.2 interact both physically and functionally with SUR1 and suggest that residues 196-288 of SUR1 are important in this interaction.

Kir6.2 mutations causing neonatal diabetes provide new insights into Kir6.2-SUR1 interactions.

Project description:ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channels, comprised of pore-forming Kir6.2 and regulatory SUR1 subunits, play a critical role in regulating insulin secretion. Binding of ATP to Kir6.2 inhibits, whereas interaction of MgATP with SUR1 activates, K(ATP) channels. We tested the functional effects of two Kir6.2 mutations (Y330C, F333I) that cause permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus, by heterologous expression in Xenopus oocytes. Both mutations reduced ATP inhibition and increased whole-cell currents, which in pancreatic beta-cells is expected to reduce insulin secretion and precipitate diabetes. The Y330C mutation reduced ATP inhibition both directly, by impairing ATP binding (and/or transduction), and indirectly, by stabilizing the intrinsic open state of the channel. The F333I mutation altered ATP binding/transduction directly. Both mutations also altered Kir6.2/SUR1 interactions, enhancing the stimulatory effect of MgATP (which is mediated via SUR1). This effect was particularly dramatic for the Kir6.2-F333I mutation, and was abolished by SUR1 mutations that prevent MgATP binding/hydrolysis. Further analysis of F333I heterozygous channels indicated that at least three SUR1 must bind/hydrolyse MgATP to open the mutant K(ATP) channel.

MgATP activates the beta cell KATP channel by interaction with its SUR1 subunit.

Project description:ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels in the pancreatic beta cell membrane mediate insulin release in response to elevation of plasma glucose levels. They are open at rest but close in response to glucose metabolism, producing a depolarization that stimulates Ca2+ influx and exocytosis. Metabolic regulation of KATP channel activity currently is believed to be mediated by changes in the intracellular concentrations of ATP and MgADP, which inhibit and activate the channel, respectively. The beta cell KATP channel is a complex of four Kir6.2 pore-forming subunits and four SUR1 regulatory subunits: Kir6.2 mediates channel inhibition by ATP, whereas the potentiatory action of MgADP involves the nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs) of SUR1. We show here that MgATP (like MgADP) is able to stimulate KATP channel activity, but that this effect normally is masked by the potent inhibitory effect of the nucleotide. Mg2+ caused an apparent reduction in the inhibitory action of ATP on wild-type KATP channels, and MgATP actually activated KATP channels containing a mutation in the Kir6.2 subunit that impairs nucleotide inhibition (R50G). Both of these effects were abolished when mutations were made in the NBDs of SUR1 that are predicted to abolish MgATP binding and/or hydrolysis (D853N, D1505N, K719A, or K1384M). These results suggest that, like MgADP, MgATP stimulates KATP channel activity by interaction with the NBDs of SUR1. Further support for this idea is that the ATP sensitivity of a truncated form of Kir6.2, which shows functional expression in the absence of SUR1, is unaffected by Mg2+.

ATP modulates interaction of syntaxin-1A with sulfonylurea receptor 1 to regulate pancreatic beta-cell KATP channels.

Project description:ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels are regulated by a variety of cytosolic factors (adenine nucleotides, Mg(2+), phospholipids, and pH). We previously reported that K(ATP) channels are also regulated by endogenous membrane-bound SNARE protein syntaxin-1A (Syn-1A), which binds both nucleotide-binding folds of sulfonylurea receptor (SUR)1 and 2A, causing inhibition of K(ATP) channel activity in pancreatic islet ?-cells and cardiac myocytes, respectively. In this study, we show that ATP dose-dependently inhibits Syn-1A binding to SUR1 at physiological concentrations, with the addition of Mg(2+) causing a decrease in the ATP-induced inhibitory effect. This ATP disruption of Syn-1A binding to SUR1 was confirmed by FRET analysis in living HEK293 cells. Electrophysiological studies in pancreatic ?-cells demonstrated that reduced ATP concentrations increased K(ATP) channel sensitivity to Syn-1A inhibition. Depletion of endogenous Syn-1A in insulinoma cells by botulinum neurotoxin C1 proteolysis followed by rescue with exogenous Syn-1A showed that Syn-1A modulates K(ATP) channel sensitivity to ATP. Thus, our data indicate that although both ATP and Syn-1A independently inhibit ?-cell K(ATP) channel gating, they could also influence the sensitivity of K(ATP) channels to each other. These findings provide new insight into an alternate mechanism by which ATP regulates pancreatic ?-cell K(ATP) channel activity, not only by its direct actions on Kir6.2 pore subunit, but also via ATP modulation of Syn-1A binding to SUR1.
