1 To better understand the function of Arg-347 and to learn how mutations at this site disrupt channel activity, we mutated Arg-347 to Asp, Cys, Glu, His, Leu, or Lys and examined single-channel function. Login to comment
5 To test this, we mutated anionic residues (Asp-924, Asp-993, and Glu-1104) to Arg in the context of either R347E or R347D mutations. Login to comment
6 Interestingly, the D924R mutation complemented R347D, yielding a channel that behaved like wild-type CFTR. Login to comment
24 To better understand the role of Arg-347 in CFTR structure and function, we examined the effect of mutating Arg-347 to cysteine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, lysine, and leucine on CFTR conductance. Login to comment
25 We examined the cytosolic pH (pHc)-dependent behavior of CFTR-R347H and that of the other residue 347 mutants both with (R347C, R347D, R347E, and R347K) and without (R347L) a pHc-titratable residue. Login to comment
86 Visual inspection suggested that the lifetimes of OL and OB states were also influenced by the nature of the residue at position 347: R347E and R347H tended to have longer dwell times in the OL and OB states, whereas R347L, R347C, and R347D tended to display shorter dwell times. Login to comment
89 For R347D, the lifetime in the OB state was so short that a discrete OB was not apparent on the all-points histogram; instead, as pHc decreased, a shoulder developed on the OL state distribution in the all-points histogram (Fig. 1). Login to comment
113 The observable pK (0 mV) for the equilibrium between OL and OB of R347E and R347H were 6.4 and 6.3, respectively. The faster kinetics of R347D, R347C, and R347L made dwell-time analysis for these mutants less reliable. Login to comment
117 Fig. 3B shows that R347C, R347D, and R347L did not reach a peak variance over the range of pHc studied, suggesting that their apparent pK is less than 5.0-5.5. Login to comment

148 The Phenotype of R347D Is Suppressed by the D924R Mutation-The data suggest that Arg-347 and Lys-347 may stabilize the structure of the pore; in their absence, the channel "flickers" between two conductance states. Login to comment
153 To identify the Arg-347 interaction partner, we replaced Arg-347 with an anionic residue (R347E or R347D) and introduced an arginine residue in the place of candidate partners in a salt bridge. Login to comment
154 We studied the conductance properties of the following double mutants: R347D/D924R, R347D/D993R, and R347E/E1104R. Login to comment
155 The R347D/D993R and R347E/E1104R mutants each had two conductance states with pHc-dependent behavior (Fig. 5). Login to comment
156 For R347D/D993R the increased entry into the OB state was apparent as a shoulder on the amplitude histogram at pHc 5.5. Login to comment
157 Accordingly, for R347D/D993R and R347E/E1104R the current variance in the open state increased with decreasing pHc (Fig. 5B). Login to comment
158 Qualitatively, the lifetimes of the OL and OB conductance states in the R347D/D993R and R347E/E1104R were similar to that of the R347D and R347E mutants, respectively. The amplitude of the OL state was larger for both of these double mutants as compared with the single mutants (Figs. Login to comment
161 In contrast to the other double mutants, the R347D/D924R mutant did not display the pHc-dependent flicker found in the R347D single mutant (Fig. 5, A and B), and there was no effect of pH on open-channel variance (Fig. 5B). Login to comment

101 Charge-reversal Mutants-Taking into account the functional defects that result when Arg-347 and Asp-979 are each replaced with an uncharged amino acid such as His (uncharged at pH 7.3) and Ala (R347H and D979A), we constructed additional mutants with different charge combinations at residues 347 and 979, including the R347D-D979R double mutant in which the positive and negative charges were swapped.

143 First, several lines of experimental evidence indicate that there is probably no direct salt bridge between Arg-347 and Asp-979: (i) removal of either the positive charge at position 347 (R347H and R347D) or the negative charge at position 979 (D979A, D979V, and D979R) has different effects on CFTR processing; (ii) the double-neutral (R347H-D979A) and reversed-charged (R347D-D979R) replacements for Arg-347 and Asp-979 do not lead to the recovery of wild-type processing.

154 The pore blocker DPC exerted a similar inhibitory effect on the ATPase activity of phosphorylated CFTR-R347D, as it did on the ATPase activity of wild type protein (67.3 Ϯ 6.1% of control versus 66.8 Ϯ 3.6% of control, respectively). Login to comment
155 These results support previous reports suggesting that DPC interacts with a pore-lining residue other than Arg-347, probably Ser341 (44), and that the R347D mutation does not disrupt DPC binding to this site by inducing global misfolding. Login to comment

208 On the other hand, we found that the double mutant R347D/D924R did not behave as the wild-type CFTR in terms of CFTRinh-172 sensitivity but was more similar to single Arg347 mutants. Login to comment
211 We hypothesized that the negatively charged carboxyl group in CFTRinh-172 interacts with the positive charge of Arg347 , such that the effects of Arg347 mutations could be explained by loss of electrostatic attraction (R347A) or generation of electrostatic repulsion (R347D). Login to comment

83 R347D-CFTR had a significantly lower affinity than wild-type for both DNDS and DIDS, with a greater than 8-fold increase in Kd(O) for DNDS and a greater than 3-fold increase in Kd(O) for DIDS observed in this mutant. Login to comment
84 DNDS block of R347D-CFTR was only very weakly voltage dependent, significantly less so than for wild-type, whereas DIDS block showed a similar voltage dependence for both wild-type and R347D. Login to comment
105 The dramatic reduction in affinity for both DNDS and DIDS in the pore mutant R347D-CFTR suggests that the positively charged residue arginine 347 contributes to the binding site for both these molecules in the pore. Login to comment
113 Although arginine 347 appears to contribute to the binding site for both DNDS and DIDS, it is possible that DIDS (but not DNDS) is also able to interact with another site on the channel, modulating its blocking effects on wild-type CFTR and allowing some residual blocking action on R347D-CFTR.

MATERIALS AND METHODS Cell Culture-CHO-K1 cells that had been stably transfected with pNUT vector alone (denoted CFTR(-)) or with wild-type CFTR (CFTR(ϩ)) or various mutated versions (G551D, R347D, R117H, and ⌬F508) in pNUT were used (8, 15).

153 We also examined a CFTR mutation (R347D) that is at a residue where disease-causing mutations have been identified (R347P and R347H). Login to comment
155 Spontaneous activity of R347D channels was never observed on resting cells (Table I) but was elicited by exposure to 15 ␮M forskolin (80% of patches; Fig. 6A) or l mM levamisole (60% of patches; Fig. 6, B and C). Login to comment
156 The unitary conductance of R347D channels determined after stimulation by forskolin was 2.9 Ϯ 0.2 pS (n ϭ 8) and by levamisole was 2.8 Ϯ 0.3 pS (n ϭ 6; Fig. 6D). Login to comment
163 G551D channel activity in the presence of PKA and ATP was lower than wild-type CFTR (Po ϭ 0.17 Ϯ 0.06, n ϭ 2.6 Ϯ 0.57, n ϭ 3 patches) but was nevertheless increased 2-fold by addition of bromotetramisole in the presence of PKA (Po ϭ 0.36 Ϯ 0.08, n ϭ 6.2 Ϯ 0.56, n ϭ 7 patches). Login to comment
164 Although these values for Po may be overestimated because they are based on the estimated number of channels without locking all the channels open using AMP-PNP, the increase in open probability was consistent and was also observed with the mutants R117H and R347D (data not shown). Login to comment
194 Our results can be summarized as follows: (i) levamisole and bromotetramisole promote the opening of cell-attached CFTR channels in the absence of forskolin, (ii) elevation of intracellular cAMP and Ca2ϩ are not required for this stimulation, (iii) at least four mutant CFTRs (G551D, R117H, R347D, and ⌬F508) can also be activated on-cell by these drugs in the absence of forskolin, (iv) both phenylimidazothiazoles further enhance CFTR channel activity when excised patches were exposed to high levels of PKA, indicating that their target is associated with the membrane, and (v) activation by both drugs requires some kinase activity.

321 Anomalous mole fraction effects (Tabcharani et al., 1993) and protocol-dependent block by iodide (Tabcharani et al., 1997) are lost in R347D-CFTR; this may be due to a severe disruption in secondary structure by the loss of a salt bridge between R347 and D924 (Cotten and Welsh, 1999).

82 RESULTS Arg347 Forms a Salt Bridge with Asp924 but Does Not Stabilize the Full Open State-Although Cotten and Welsh first reported that arginine 347 of TM6 forms a salt bridge with aspartic acid 924 of TM8, their results suggested that the double mutation R347D/D924R rescued the channel to a stable open state that exhibits a smaller single channel amplitude, which is reminiscent of the s2 open state of WT-CFTR (14).

89 A, representative current samples of WT-, R347A-, R347D-, D924R-, R347K-, and R347D/D924R-CFTR were recorded from excised inside-out patch from Xenopus oocytes with 150 mM Clafa; symmetrical solution in the presence of 1 mM Mg-ATP and 50 nM PKA at VM afd; afa;100 mV (n afd; 4-6 for each mutant).

94 R347A-CFTR showed a very long and stable s1 state with very brief openings to s2 or f states, whereas R347D-CFTR only exhibits a long stable s1 state and appears to never get out of s1 (at the resolution of our recording apparatus), as if introduction of negative charge at this position confers electrostatic repulsion with other negative charges in the native channel and thereby greatly interferes with the ability to go beyond the s1 state. Login to comment
96 D924R-CFTR exhibits all three open states in contrast to R347A- and R347D-CFTR, although the stability of the open state is compromised; indeed, the fractional occupancies of both s1 and s2 states are greatly increased in this mutant (Fig. 2B). Login to comment
97 The charge-swapping double mutant R347D/D924R-CFTR exhibited a long stable s2 state with occasional brief openings to s1 and f. Login to comment
101 In addition, breakingthissaltbridgedisruptedthestabilityofthes2andfstates but did not significantly affect s1; therefore, both R347A and R347D showed long stable s1 states, although R347A endeavored to reach the s2 and f states but failed to maintain them, whereas R347D completely lost the ability to open to s2 and f state.

109 We therefore hypothesized that Arg347 might also interact with Asp993 to rescue the CFTR channel pore to a stable f state and tested this hypothesis in three double mutants; TABLE 1 Summary of the effects of mutations studied Mutant Main features of open bursts Impact on f state R347A Emphasizes s1 state, brief transitions to s2 and f Can reach f but not stable R347D Emphasizes s1 state, no transitions to s2 and f Cannot reach f D924R Brief transitions to all conductance levels Can reach f but not stable R347K Wild type-like Wild type-like R347D/D924R Emphasizes s2 state, rare and brief transitions to f Can reach f but not stable R352E Opens to all 3 levels; s1 much more stable than in WT, s2 unstable, f unstable Can reach f but not stable D993R Opens to all 3 levels, but none are stable Can reach f but not stable R352E/D993R Wild type-like, with increased transitions to s1 and s2; slightly reduced single-channel conductance Wild type-like R352E/D924R Opens to all 3 levels, but none are stable Can reach f but not stable R347D/D993R Very stable s2; rare and brief transitions to both s1 and f Can reach f but not stable R347A/R352A Opens to all 3 levels; s1 much more stable than in WT, s2 unstable, f unstable Can reach f but not stable R347D/D924R/D993R Opens to all 3 levels; s1 much more stable than in WT, s2 relatively stabilized, f unstable Can reach f but not stable R347D/D924R/R352E/D993R Primarily flickers between s2 and f; s1 much more stable than in WT, slightly reduced single channel conductance Can reach f but not stable FIGURE 3.

115 Whereas the single channel behavior of R352E/D924R was similar to that of R352E alone, with multiple unstable open states, suggesting that Arg352 and Asp924 do not interact, R347D/D993R was much more like R347D/D924R, with the s2 state dominant (compare Figs. 3 and 2). Login to comment
