ERp44 C160S/C212S mutants regulate IP3R1 channel activity.

ABSTRACT: Previous studies have indicated that ERp44 inhibits inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3))-induced Ca(2+) release (IICR) via IP(3)R(1), but the mechanism remains largely unexplored. Using extracellular ATP to induce intracellular calcium transient as an IICR model, Ca(2+) image, pull down assay, and Western blotting experiments were carried out in the present study. We found that extracellular ATP induced calcium transient via IP(3)Rs (IICR) and the IICR were markedly decreased in ERp44 overexpressed Hela cells. The inhibitory effect of C160S/C212S but not C29S/T396A/?T(331-377) mutants of ERp44 on IICR were significantly decreased compared with ERp44. However, the binding capacity of ERp44 to L3V domain of IP(3)R(1) (1L3V) was enhanced by ERp44 C160S/C212S mutation. Taken together, these results suggest that the mutants of ERp44, C160/C212, can more tightly bind to IP(3)R(1) but exhibit a weak inhibition of IP(3)R(1) channel activity in Hela cells.

Project description:Twelve sodium-activated potassium channel (KCNT1, Slack) genetic mutants have been identified from severe early-onset epilepsy patients. The changes in biophysical properties of these mutants and the underlying mechanisms causing disease remain elusive. Here, we report that seven of the 12 mutations increase, whereas one mutation decreases, the channel's sodium sensitivity. Two of the mutants exhibit channel over-activity only when the intracellular Na(+) ([Na(+)]i) concentration is ∼80 mM. In contrast, single-channel data reveal that all 12 mutants increase the maximal open probability (Po). We conclude that these mutant channels lead to channel over-activity predominantly by increasing the ability of sodium binding to activate the channel, which is indicated by its maximal Po. The sodium sensitivity of these epilepsy causing mutants probably determines the [Na(+)]i concentration at which these mutants exert their pathological effects.

Lipopolysaccharides up-regulate Kir6.1/SUR2B channel expression and enhance vascular KATP channel activity via NF-kappaB-dependent signaling.

Project description:Sepsis is a severe medical condition causing a large number of deaths worldwide. Recent studies indicate that the septic susceptibility is attributable to the vascular ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channel. However, the mechanisms underlying the channel modulation in sepsis are still unclear. Here we show evidence for the modulation of vascular K(ATP) channel by septic pathogen lipopolysaccharides (LPS). In isolated mesenteric arterial rings, phenylephrine (PE) produced concentration-dependent vasoconstriction that was relaxed by pinacidil, a selective K(ATP) channel opener. The PE response was disrupted with a LPS treatment. In acutely dissociated aortic smooth myocytes the LPS treatment augmented K(ATP) channel activity, and hyperpolarized the cells. Quantitative PCR analysis showed that LPS raised Kir6.1 and SUR2B transcripts in a concentration-dependent manner, which was suppressed by transcriptional inhibition. Consistently, the same LPS treatment did not affect Kir6.1/SUR2B channels in a heterologous expression system. The LPS effect on Kir6.1 and SUR2B expression was abolished in the presence of NF-kappaB inhibitors. Several other Toll-like receptor ligands also stimulated Kir6.1 and SUR2B expression to a similar degree as LPS. Thus, the effect of LPS on vasodilation involves up-regulation of K(ATP) channel expression, in which the NF-kappaB-dependent signaling plays an important role.

Nonlinearities between inhibition and T-type calcium channel activity bidirectionally regulate thalamic oscillations.

Project description:Absence seizures result from 3 to 5 Hz generalized thalamocortical oscillations that depend on highly regulated inhibitory neurotransmission in the thalamus. Efficient reuptake of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA is essential, and reuptake failure worsens human seizures. Here, we show that blocking GABA transporters (GATs) in acute rat brain slices containing key parts of the thalamocortical seizure network modulates epileptiform activity. As expected, we found that blocking either GAT1 or GAT3 prolonged oscillations. However, blocking both GATs unexpectedly suppressed oscillations. Integrating experimental observations into single-neuron and network-level computational models shows how a non-linear dependence of T-type calcium channel gating on GABAB receptor activity regulates network oscillations. Receptor activity that is either too brief or too protracted fails to sufficiently open T-type channels necessary for sustaining oscillations. Only within a narrow range does prolonging GABAB receptor activity promote channel opening and intensify oscillations. These results have implications for therapeutics that modulate inhibition kinetics.

Poring over two-pore channel pore mutants.

Project description:Two-pore channels are members of the voltage-gated ion channel superfamily. They localise to the endolysosomal system and are likely targets for the Ca2+ mobilising messenger NAADP. In this brief review, we relate mutagenesis of the TPC pore to a recently published homology model and discuss how pore mutants are informing us of TPC function. Molecular physiology of these ubiquitous proteins is thus emerging.

Epsin-mediated degradation of IP3R1 fuels atherosclerosis.

Project description:The epsin family of endocytic adapter proteins are widely expressed, and interact with both proteins and lipids to regulate a variety of cell functions. However, the role of epsins in atherosclerosis is poorly understood. Here, we show that deletion of endothelial epsin proteins reduces inflammation and attenuates atherosclerosis using both cell culture and mouse models of this disease. In atherogenic cholesterol-treated murine aortic endothelial cells, epsins interact with the ubiquitinated endoplasmic reticulum protein inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 1 (IP3R1), which triggers proteasomal degradation of this calcium release channel. Epsins potentiate its degradation via this interaction. Genetic reduction of endothelial IP3R1 accelerates atherosclerosis, whereas deletion of endothelial epsins stabilizes IP3R1 and mitigates inflammation. Reduction of IP3R1 in epsin-deficient mice restores atherosclerotic progression. Taken together, epsin-mediated degradation of IP3R1 represents a previously undiscovered biological role for epsin proteins and may provide new therapeutic targets for the treatment of atherosclerosis and other diseases.

Flexible architecture of IP3R1 by Cryo-EM.

Project description:Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) play a fundamental role in generating Ca2+ signals that trigger many cellular processes in virtually all eukaryotic cells. Thus far, the three-dimensional (3D) structure of these channels has remained extremely controversial. Here, we report a subnanometer resolution electron cryomicroscopy (cryo-EM) structure of a fully functional type 1 IP3R from cerebellum in the closed state. The transmembrane region reveals a twisted bundle of four α helices, one from each subunit, that form a funnel shaped structure around the 4-fold symmetry axis, strikingly similar to the ion-conduction pore of K+ channels. The lumenal face of IP3R1 has prominent densities that surround the pore entrance and similar to the highly structured turrets of Kir channels. 3D statistical analysis of the cryo-EM density map identifies high variance in the cytoplasmic region. This structural variation could be attributed to genuine structural flexibility of IP3R1.

Biaryl sulfonamide motifs up- or down-regulate ion channel activity by activating voltage sensors.

Project description:Voltage-gated ion channels are key molecules for the generation of cellular electrical excitability. Many pharmaceutical drugs target these channels by blocking their ion-conducting pore, but in many cases, channel-opening compounds would be more beneficial. Here, to search for new channel-opening compounds, we screen 18,000 compounds with high-throughput patch-clamp technology and find several potassium-channel openers that share a distinct biaryl-sulfonamide motif. Our data suggest that the negatively charged variants of these compounds bind to the top of the voltage-sensor domain, between transmembrane segments 3 and 4, to open the channel. Although we show here that biaryl-sulfonamide compounds open a potassium channel, they have also been reported to block sodium and calcium channels. However, because they inactivate voltage-gated sodium channels by promoting activation of one voltage sensor, we suggest that, despite different effects on the channel gates, the biaryl-sulfonamide motif is a general ion-channel activator motif. Because these compounds block action potential-generating sodium and calcium channels and open an action potential-dampening potassium channel, they should have a high propensity to reduce excitability. This opens up the possibility to build new excitability-reducing pharmaceutical drugs from the biaryl-sulfonamide scaffold.

Doa10/MARCH6 architecture interconnects E3 ligase activity with lipid-binding transmembrane channel to regulate SQLE.

Project description:Transmembrane E3 ligases play crucial roles in homeostasis. Much protein and organelle quality control, and metabolic regulation, are determined by ER-resident MARCH6 E3 ligases, including Doa10 in yeast. Here, we present Doa10/MARCH6 structural analysis by cryo-EM and AlphaFold predictions, and a structure-based mutagenesis campaign. The majority of Doa10/MARCH6 adopts a unique circular structure within the membrane. This channel is established by a lipid-binding scaffold, and gated by a flexible helical bundle. The ubiquitylation active site is positioned over the channel by connections between the cytosolic E3 ligase RING domain and the membrane-spanning scaffold and gate. Here, by assaying 95 MARCH6 variants for effects on stability of the well-characterized substrate SQLE, which regulates cholesterol levels, we reveal crucial roles of the gated channel and RING domain consistent with AlphaFold-models of substrate-engaged and ubiquitylation complexes. SQLE degradation further depends on connections between the channel and RING domain, and lipid binding sites, revealing how interconnected Doa10/MARCH6 elements could orchestrate metabolic signals, substrate binding, and E3 ligase activity.

Porin mutants with new channel properties.

Project description:The general diffusion porin from Rhodopseudomonas blastica was produced in large amounts in Escherichia coli inclusion bodies and (re)natured to the exact native structure. Here, we report on 13 mutants at the pore eyelet giving rise to new diffusion properties as measured in planar lipid bilayer experiments. The crystal structures of seven of these mutants were established. The effects of charge-modifying mutations at the pore eyelet are consistent with the known selectivity for cations. Deletions of 16 and 27 residues of the constriction loop L3 resulted in labile trimers and pores. The reduction of the eyelet cross section by introducing tryptophans gave rise to a closely correlated decrease of the conductivities. A mutant with six newly introduced tryptophans in the eyelet closed its pore in a defined manner within seconds under a voltage of 20 mV, suggesting the existence of two states. The results indicate that the pore can be engineered in a rational manner.

G protein-coupled receptors differentially regulate glycosylation and activity of the inwardly rectifying potassium channel Kir7.1.

Project description:Kir7.1 is an inwardly rectifying potassium channel with important roles in the regulation of the membrane potential in retinal pigment epithelium, uterine smooth muscle, and hypothalamic neurons. Regulation of G protein-coupled inwardly rectifying potassium (GIRK) channels by G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) via the G protein βγ subunits has been well characterized. However, how Kir channels are regulated is incompletely understood. We report here that Kir7.1 is also regulated by GPCRs, but through a different mechanism. Using Western blotting analysis, we observed that multiple GPCRs tested caused a striking reduction in the complex glycosylation of Kir7.1. Further, GPCR-mediated reduction of Kir7.1 glycosylation in HEK293T cells did not alter its expression at the cell surface but decreased channel activity. Of note, mutagenesis of the sole Kir7.1 glycosylation site reduced conductance and open probability, as indicated by single-channel recording. Additionally, we report that the L241P mutation of Kir7.1 associated with Lebers congenital amaurosis (LCA), an inherited retinal degenerative disease, has significantly reduced complex glycosylation. Collectively, these results suggest that Kir7.1 channel glycosylation is essential for function, and this activity within cells is suppressed by most GPCRs. The melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R), a GPCR previously reported to induce ligand-regulated activity of this channel, is the only GPCR tested that does not have this effect on Kir7.1.
