Multiple membrane-cytoplasmic domain contacts in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) mediate regulation of channel gating.

Abstract [show]
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a unique ATP-binding cassette (ABC) ion channel mutated in patients with cystic fibrosis. The most common mutation, deletion of phenylalanine 508 (DeltaF508) and many other disease-associated mutations occur in the nucleotide binding domains (NBD) and the cytoplasmic loops (CL) of the membrane-spanning domains (MSD). A recently constructed computational model of the CFTR three-dimensional structure, supported by experimental data (Serohijos, A. W., Hegedus, T., Aleksandrov, A. A., He, L., Cui, L., Dokholyan, N. V., and Riordan, J. R. (2008) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 105, 3256-3261) revealed that several of these mutations including DeltaF508 disrupted interfaces between these domains. Here we have used cysteine cross-linking experiments to verify all NBD/CL interfaces predicted by the structural model and observed that their cross-linking has a variety of different effects on channel gating. The interdomain contacts comprise aromatic clusters important for stabilization of the interfaces and also involve the Q-loops and X-loops that are in close proximity to the ATP binding sites. Cross-linking of all domain-swapping contacts between NBDs and MSD cytoplasmic loops in opposite halves of the protein rapidly and reversibly arrest single channel gating while those in the same halves have lesser impact. These results reinforce the idea that mediation of regulatory signals between cytoplasmic- and membrane-integrated domains of the CFTR channel apparently relies on an array of precise but highly dynamic interdomain structural joints.

84 The successful cross-linking of the residue pairs N268C (CL2) and F1294C (NBD2) by the MTS reagents of various spacer arm lengths confirmed this contact (Fig. 2A). Login to comment
150 As shown in Fig. 5, treatment of the cells with PKA stimulation mixture before and during cross-linking had no effect on cross-linking between either M498C/G1061C (Fig. 5A, left panel) or N268C/F1294C (Fig. 5B, left panel), although phosphorylation-sensitive CFTR antibody mAb 450 confirmed the phosphorylation of CFTR (Fig. 5, A and B, right panels).

166 Cys pairs were introduced at: A interface between NBD1 Q-loop and CL4 (M498C/G1061C); B, interface between NBD2 Q-loop and CL2 (N268C/ F1294C); or C, both Q-loops (W496C and K1292C). Login to comment
