140 In this respect, the slow rate of modification observed in N1138C (Fig. 3b) is similar to that we reported for P99C and L102C in TM1 [41] and T338C and S341C in TM6 [9], and the much higher modification rate constant for T1142C, S1141C, and (to a lesser extent) M1140C is closer to that reported for K95C in TM1 [41] and I344C, V345C, and M348C in TM6 [9].

42 Interestingly, cysteines substituted into another pore-lining TM, TM1, did not show access to both sides of the membrane, with the outermost site in this TM that could be modified by intracellular MTS reagents (L102C) being insensitive to extracellular MTS reagents (18).

43 In the present work, we have compared changes in the accessibility of T338C in TM6 with L102C in TM1 to both intracellular and extracellular cysteine-reactive reagents, both large, impermeant [2-sul- fonatoethyl] MTS (MTSES) and smaller, permeant Au(CN)2 - ions, under conditions in which ATP-dependent channel gating is altered.

50 Two reporter cysteines in the pore were studied: T338C in TM6, which is modified by both intracellular and extracellular MTS reagents (17), and L102C in TM1, which is modified by intracellular, but not extracellular MTS reagents (18).

89 For modification of T338C, the mean modification rate constant was decreased ϳ2.4-fold in a K464A background and increased ϳ3.9-fold in E1371Q, whereas the modification rate constant for L102C was decreased by ϳ26% in K464A and increased ϳ2.0-fold in E1371Q.

114 Quantification of the rate constant for modification (Fig. 5C) suggests, for modification of T338C, an increase of ϳ5.7-fold in K464A and a decrease of ϳ150-fold in E1371Q, and for modification of L102C, an increase of ϳ2.3-fold in K464A and a decrease of ϳ2.7-fold in E1371Q.

120 In each panel, it can be seen that the rate of modification by internal MTSES and Au(CN)2 - increases in the order K464A Ͻ Cys-less Ͻ E1371Q, whereas modification by extracellular MTSES (in T338C) and Au(CN)2 - shows the opposite pattern, K464A Ͼ Cys-less Ͼ E1371Q.

151 For example, L102C in TM1 is modified by internal, but not external MTS reagents (18), a result confirmed by the present results (Figs. 1 and 3), whereas R104C, only 2 residues closer to the external end of TM1, is modified by external, but not internal MTS reagents (28).

160 L102C is accessible to permeant Au(CN)2 - ions applied to either side of the membrane, as expected for a permeant probe that ought to access the entire permeation pathway, and as with T338C access from the outside decreases as access from the inside increases (Fig. 6D), again consistent with easier access from the cytoplasm in open channels and from the extracellular solution in closed channels.

161 One possible explanation for the difference in external accessibility of L102C in TM1 and T338C in TM6 is that T338C is located in a more superficial position in the outer mouth of the pore (at least in closed channels), such that it can be accessed by large extracellular MTS reagents that cannot penetrate further into the pore from the outside to modify L102C (Fig. 7A).

191 In this model, reduced access from the extracellular solution in open channels is due to partial closure of a vestigial open gate, which decreases the rate of entry of extracellular MTSES and Au(CN)2 - to T338C and L102C, although not completely occluding the pore and thus allowing Cl- permeation.

149 In TM6, I344 and V345 were proposed to lie on either side of this barrier, based on similar and L102C were all strongly inhibited by the application of the test dose of MTSES, suggesting that they were not covalently modified by MTSES pretreatment.

150 These results, which are summarized quantitatively in Fig. 5 C, suggest that although K95C can be modified by MTSES before channel activation, Q98C, P99C, and L102C are modified by MTSES only very slowly, if at all, in channels that have not been activated by PKA and ATP.

214 In open CFTR channels, internally applied MTS reagents can penetrate far enough into the pore as to modify L102C in TM1 and F337C in TM6.

228 Thus, the side chains of TM1 mutants K95C, Q98C, P99C, and L102C that we identified as accessible to MTS reagents applied from the inside (Fig. 2) were not accessible to MTSET applied to the outside (Fig. 4), whereas R104C, previously shown to be modified by external MTS reagents (Zhou et al., 2008), was not modified by internal MTSES or MTSET (Fig. 2).

238 Although we have not investigated the state dependence of MTSES modification in TM1 in such great detail, our present results suggest a similar arrangement in which K95C can readily be modified before channel activation (Fig. 5), whereas Q98C, P99C, and L102C are modified rapidly after channel activation (Fig. 3) but very slowly if at all before activation (Fig. 5).

256 For comparison, the MTSES modification rate constant for P99C and L102C (Fig. 3) was similar to that of T338C and S341C in TM6 (El Hiani and Linsdell, 2010) (all between 100 and 150 M1 s1 ), and the modification rate constant for K95C was comparable to, or slightly greater than, that of I344C, V345C, and M348C (El Hiani and Linsdell, 2010) (all between 2,000 and 4,000 M1 s1 ).

11 Moreover, modifications of K95C, Q98C, and L102C exhibit strong state dependency with negligible modification when the channel is closed, suggesting a significant rearrangement of TM1 during CFTR`s gating cycle.

108 We next tested the accessibility to external MTSES on three positions identified by experiments with inside-out patches, namely K95C, Q98C, and L102C, in the same manner and all three positions turned out nonreactive (data not shown).

149 For instance, for L102C mutant channels, we found that macroscopic currents were increased by 108.5 5 9.5% (n &#bc; 6) after modification by MTSETapplied to the cytoplasmic side of the channel in excised inside-out patches (Fig. 5 A).

150 Also similar to what has been reported for positions I344 and M348 in TM6, following MTSET modification of L102C-CFTR, robust activity was observed even in the complete absence of ATP.

155 The remarkable effects of MTSET on L102C-CFTR currents shown in Fig. 5 A prompted us to examine this effect more closely with single-channel recordings.

159 Although previous studies have provided evidence that these short-lived closures are ATP independent (43,44) and could result from voltage-dependent block of the pore by large anions from the cytoplasmic side of the channel (45), it is noted that these events are abundantly present in the double mutant L102C/E1371Q at both negative and positive membrane potentials in the absence of ATP (see Fig. S3).

165 State-dependent modification of E92C-, K95C-, Q98C-, and L102C-CFTR The observation that MTSET modification of Q98C and L102C alters CFTR gating suggests that TM1 indeed participates in gating motions of CFTR.

196 Third, in the report by Wang et al. (35), K95C, but not Q98C, P99C, or L102C, can react with internal MTSES even before the channel is activated by PKA and ATP, implying a regulated barrier between positions 95 and 98.

274 Once we accept the possibility that TM1 undergoes major conformational changes during gating transitions, it is not surprising to see alterations in gating by the mutation itself (e.g., L102C), as well as by subsequent chemical modifications (Fig. 5).

275 It is nevertheless interesting to note that in L102C/E1371Q-CFTR, the gate can open and close repeatedly even when the NBDs are in a dimeric configuration (Fig. S3).

276 On the other hand, modification of L102C by MTSET literally renders the channel permanently open even long after ATP is removed and presumably NBDs have been separated.
