Identification of a region of strong discrimination in the pore of CFTR.
Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol. 2001 Oct;281(4):L852-67., [PMID:11557589]

Abstract [show]
The variety of methods used to identify the structural determinants of anion selectivity in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator Cl(-) channel has made it difficult to assemble the data into a coherent framework that describes the three-dimensional structure of the pore. Here, we compare the relative importance of sites previously studied and identify new sites that contribute strongly to anion selectivity. We studied Cl(-) and substitute anions in oocytes expressing wild-type cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator or 12-pore-domain mutants to determine relative permeability and relative conductance for 9 monovalent anions and 1 divalent anion. The data indicate that the region of strong discrimination resides between T338 and S341 in transmembrane 6, where mutations affected selectivity between Cl(-) and both large and small anions. Mutations further toward the extracellular end of the pore only strongly affected selectivity between Cl(-) and larger anions. Only mutations at S341 affected selectivity between monovalent and divalent anions. The data are consistent with a narrowing of the pore between the extracellular end and a constriction near the middle of the pore.

Extent of the selectivity filter conferred by the sixth transmembrane region in the CFTR chloride channel pore.
Mol Membr Biol. 2003 Jan-Mar;20(1):45-52., [PMID:12745925]

Abstract [show]
Point mutations within the pore region of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl(-) channel have previously been shown to alter the selectivity of the channel between different anions, suggesting that part of the pore may form an anion 'selectivity filter'. However, the full extent of this selectivity filter region and the location of anion binding sites in the pore are currently unclear. As a result, comparisons between CFTR and other classes of Cl(-) channel of known structure are difficult. We compare here the effects of point mutations at each of eight consecutive amino acid residues (arginine 334-serine 341) in the crucial sixth transmembrane region (TM6) of CFTR. Anion selectivity was determined using patch-clamp recording from inside-out membrane patches excised from transiently transfected mammalian cell lines. The results suggest that selectivity is predominantly controlled by a single site involving adjacent residues phenylalanine 337 and threonine 338, and that the selectivity conferred by this 'filter' region is modified by anion binding to flanking sites involving the more extracellular arginine 334 and the more intracellular serine 341. Other residues within this part of the pore play only minor roles in controlling anion permeability and conductance. Our results support a model in which specific TM6 residues make important contributions to a single, localized anion selectivity filter in the CFTR pore, and also contribute to multiple anion binding sites both within and on either side of the filter region.

Non-pore lining amino acid side chains influence anion selectivity of the human CFTR Cl- channel expressed in mammalian cell lines.
J Physiol. 1998 Oct 1;512 ( Pt 1):1-16., 1998-10-01 [PMID:9729613]

Abstract [show]
1. The effects of individually mutating two adjacent threonine residues in the sixth membrane-spanning region (TM6) of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl- channel on permeation properties were examined using patch clamp recording from mammalian cell lines stably expressing human CFTR. 2. A number of mutations of T338 significantly affected the permeation properties of the channel. Increases and decreases in single channel conductance were observed for different mutants. Anion selectivity was strongly affected, with no two channel variants sharing the same selectivity sequence. Several mutations led to strong inward rectification of the macroscopic current-voltage relationship. The effects of these mutations on permeation properties were correlated with the size of the amino acid side chain substituted, rather than its chemical nature. 3. Most mutations of T339 resulted in a lack of functional channel expression and apparent misprocessing of the protein. One mutant, T339V, was characterized in detail; its permeation properties were significantly altered, although these effects were not as strong as for T338 mutations. 4. These results suggest an important role for T338 in controlling the permeation properties of the CFTR Cl- channel. It is suggested that mutation of this residue alters the interaction between permeating anions and the channel pore via an indirect effect on the orientation of the TM6 helix.

Differential contribution of TM6 and TM12 to the pore of CFTR identified by three sulfonylurea-based blockers.
Pflugers Arch. 2012 Mar;463(3):405-18. Epub 2011 Dec 13., [PMID:22160394]

Abstract [show]
Previous studies suggested that four transmembrane domains 5, 6, 11, 12 make the greatest contribution to forming the pore of the CFTR chloride channel. We used excised, inside-out patches from oocytes expressing CFTR with alanine-scanning mutagenesis in amino acids in TM6 and TM12 to probe CFTR pore structure with four blockers: glibenclamide (Glyb), glipizide (Glip), tolbutamide (Tolb), and Meglitinide. Glyb and Glip blocked wildtype (WT)-CFTR in a voltage-, time-, and concentration-dependent manner. At V (M) = -120 mV with symmetrical 150 mM Cl(-) solution, fractional block of WT-CFTR by 50 muM Glyb and 200 muM Glip was 0.64 +/- 0.03 (n = 7) and 0.48 +/- 0.02 (n = 7), respectively. The major effects on block by Glyb and Glip were found with mutations at F337, S341, I344, M348, and V350 of TM6. Under similar conditions, fractional block of WT-CFTR by 300 muM Tolb was 0.40 +/- 0.04. Unlike Glyb, Glip, and Meglitinide, block by Tolb lacked time-dependence (n = 7). We then tested the effects of alanine mutations in TM12 on block by Glyb and Glip; the major effects were found at N1138, T1142, V1147, N1148, S1149, S1150, I1151, and D1152. From these experiments, we infer that amino acids F337, S341, I344, M348, and V350 of TM6 face the pore when the channel is in the open state, while the amino acids of TM12 make less important contributions to pore function. These data also suggest that the region between F337 and S341 forms the narrow part of the CFTR pore.

Novel pore-lining residues in CFTR that govern permeation and open-channel block.
Neuron. 1994 Sep;13(3):623-34., [PMID:7522483]

Abstract [show]
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is both a member of the ATP-binding cassette superfamily and a Cl(-)-selective ion channel. We investigated the permeation pathway of human CFTR with measurements on conduction and open-channel blockade by diphenylamine-2-carboxylic acid (DPC). We used site-directed mutagenesis and oocyte expression to locate residues in transmembrane domain (TM) 6 and TM 12 that contact DPC and control rectification and single-channel conductances. Thus, TM 12 and the previously investigated TM 6 line the CFTR pore. In each TM, residues in contact with DPC are separated by two turns of an alpha helix. The contributions of TM 6 and TM 12 to DPC block and Cl- permeation, however, are not equivalent. The resulting structural model for the conduction pathway may guide future studies of permeation in other Cl- channels and ATP-binding cassette transporters.
