312 The data also suggested that at least some of the double mutant D110C/K892C-CFTR channels could be activated by ATP and PKA in the absence of DTT, which would not support the formation of a stable spontaneous disulfide bond.

313 To resolve this, we backfilled 1 mM DTT in the pipette solution and recorded single-channel current of WTand D110C/K892C-CFTR from inside-out patches in the presence of cytosolic ATP and PKA, whereas DTT diffused to the tip.

329 D110C/K892C-CFTR patch current remained low in the first &#e07a;5 min, then slowly increased over the next 10-15 min as more channels were activated and the number of apparent channels in the patch increased (Fig. 10 C).

332 However, patches from oocytes expressing D110C/K892C-CFTR exhibited a very large increase in apparent channel number after exposure to extracellular DTT, consistent with channels being released from the spontaneous disulfide bond and therefore able to open.

336 *, P < 0.05 indicates a significant difference between D110R- and D110R/K892E-CFTR; #, P < 0.001 for D110C/K892C-CFTR compared with D110R alone.

347 for several minutes, the question remained as to whether D110C/K892C-CFTR channels form a spontaneous disulfide bond in intact cells where CFTR is in the constant presence of ATP.

350 In contrast, in D110C/K892C-CFTR, activation by ISO plus DTT (ISO2 + DTT) led to significantly higher current than ISO alone (ISO1).

351 These data suggest that in whole oocytes, a fraction of D110C/ K892C channels formed disulfide bonds under resting conditions and were locked into the closed state (C0).

353 We then asked whether DTT could further activate D110C/K892C-CFTR current if we used DTT before ISO.

354 We used 1 mM DTT alone for 3 min followed by ISO alone (ISO1), which fully activated D110C/K892C-CFTR channels to plateau.

357 These data suggest that with prior DTT treatment, disulfide bonds formed during the closed state in D110C/K892C-CFTR were broken by DTT and ISO1 was able to activate all channels to reach maximum current.

361 In the absence of 1 mM DTT, D110C/K892C-CFTR channels were activated by ISO1 and ISO2 to a similar level (Fig. S7 C), suggesting that ISO alone was not able to break the spontaneous disulfide bond between K892C and D110C in channels that had formed this bond.

362 In summary, the above data, combined with molecular modeling, suggest three important findings: (1) D110 forms a salt bridge with K892 in the closed state; (2) D110C/K892C-CFTR forms a spontaneous disulfide bond when the channel is in the closed state and the energy of CFTR channel gating is not strong enough to break it in the absence of the reducing agent DTT; (3) CFTR may transition to a state where the NBDs are fully dedimerized (C0 closed state), as our simulations suggest that C0 is the only state where these residues approach each other closely enough for a spontaneous disulfide to form.

363 unlike WT-CFTR, D110C/K892C-CFTR was modified by DTT when it perfused to the pipette tip over 5-10 min during channel phosphorylation; DTT probably broke the disulfide bond between D110C and K892C, allowing more channels to be activated by ATP and PKA.

364 The single-channel current amplitude of D110C/K892C-CFTR remained unchanged in the absence and presence of DTT; individual single-channel openings in the presence of DTT could not be distinguished from those in channels that were able to open before DTT.

367 Collectively, the data suggest that D110C/ K892C-CFTR forms a spontaneous disulfide bond when the channel is in the closed state (C0), and this locks the channel closed.

369 We pulled inside-out macropatches from oocytes expressing WT- or D110C/K892C-CFTR and recorded the current in real time during exposure to 1 mM DTT backfilled into the pipette.

372 For D110C/ K892C-CFTR ATPand PKA-activated channels, but unlike WT-CFTR, D110C/K892C-CFTR currents slowly increased over the full duration of the experiment (&#e07a;20 min; Fig. 11 A, c).

373 Both WTand D110C/K892C-CFTR currents could be completely abolished with removal of ATP and PKA from the intracellular solution (Fig. 11 A, d).

376 The current increase in D110C/K892C-CFTR after ATP and PKA activation was likely caused by DTT-mediated breaking of disulfide bonds between D110C and K892C, allowing more channels to be activated and resulting in a higher current amplitude.

377 Meanwhile, the data also suggest that not all D110C/K892C-CFTR channels formed disulfide bonds in the resting state and that some channels could be activated by ATP and PKA in the absence of DTT.

378 As a control, in the absence of DTT, D110C/K892C-CFTR macroscopic current reached plateau in &#e07a;5 min (like WT-CFTR) and was maintained or slightly decreased in the next &#e07a;20 min (Fig. S7 A).

428 Meanwhile, D110 appears to form a salt bridge with K892 of ECL4 and the D110C/K892C spontaneous disulfide bond can only be formed when the channel is in the C0 state (0-ns snapshot in our molecular dynamics simulation; Rahman et al., 2013).

430 To further test the existence of a possible open state salt bridge between R117 and E1126, we again asked whether cysteines engineered at positions 117 and 1126 might form a disulfide bond as in R104C/E116C- or D110C/K892C-CFTR.

493 In the current study, we identified two spontaneous disulfide bonds in CFTR formed after introduction of cysteines at positions 110 and 892 (a closed state disulfide bond in D110C/K892C-CFTR) or 104 and 116 (an open state disulfide bond in R104C/E116C-CFTR).

495 The D110C/K892C disulfide bond was maintained regardless of CFTR gating energy until the reducing agent DTT was added to break it.

497 These data suggest that D110C/K892C-CFTR forms a very strong disulfide bond with dissociation energy that must be greater than that of ATP-dependent NBD dimer formation.
