The inhibition mechanism of non-phosphorylated Ser768 in the regulatory domain of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator.

Abstract [show]
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a member of the ATP-binding cassette transporters but serves as a chloride channel dysfunctional in cystic fibrosis. The activity of CFTR is tightly controlled not only by ATP-driven dimerization of its nucleotide-binding domains but also by phosphorylation of a unique regulatory (R) domain by protein kinase A (PKA). The R domain has multiple excitatory phosphorylation sites, but Ser(737) and Ser(768) are inhibitory. The underlying mechanism is unclear. Here, sulfhydryl-specific cross-linking strategy was employed to demonstrate that Ser(768) or Ser(737) could interact with outwardly facing hydrophilic residues of cytoplasmic loop 3 regulating channel gating. Furthermore, mutation of these residues to alanines promoted channel opening by curcumin in an ATP-dependent manner even in the absence of PKA. However, mutation of Ser(768) and His(950) with different hydrogen bond donors or acceptors clearly changed ATP- and PKA-dependent channel activity no matter whether curcumin was present or not. More importantly, significant activation of a double mutant H950R/S768R needed only ATP. Finally, in vitro and in vivo single channel recordings suggest that Ser(768) may form a putative hydrogen bond with His(950) of cytoplasmic loop 3 to prevent channel opening by ATP in the non-phosphorylated state and by subsequent cAMP-dependent phosphorylation. These observations support an electron cryomicroscopy-based structural model on which the R domain is closed to cytoplasmic loops regulating channel gating.

7 More importantly, significant activation of a double mutant H950R/S768R needed only ATP. Login to comment
163 This notion was supported by the observation that S768R, a strong H-bond donor, failed to be activated by curcumin even in the presence of ATP (Fig. 6B). Login to comment
176 What is more, curcumin also activated H950R/ S768R and H950D/S768D constructs in the presence of ATP (Fig. 6E) because two strong proton donors or acceptors cannot form an H-bond (Table 1). Login to comment
178 Consistent with this notion, H950D/S768R was also not activated by curcumin with ATP (Fig. 6E). Login to comment
184 Fig. 7A shows that H950R/S768R was activated by ATP only, even without curcumin, but H950R or S768R was not (Fig. 7C). Login to comment
185 More importantly, H950R/S768R completely removed PKA dependence of channel activity (Fig. 7, A and D) no matter whether K978C, which promotes the channel opening without ATP, was inserted and accelerated channel activation by ATP (Fig. 7B) or not. Login to comment
191 Thus, a strong electrostatic expulsion between H950R/D and S768R/D promoted channel opening by ATP alone. Login to comment
193 Unlike H950R/S768R and H950D/S768D, which exerted an electrostatic interaction between the R domain and CL3, H950A, S768A, S768D, and H950R were not apparently activated by ATP only (Fig. 7C) but more sensitive to PKA than WT CFTR (Fig. 7D). Login to comment
213 Unlike H950A or S768A/D, an apparent open probability of H950R/S768R was higher (Po(app) ϭ 0.0042) than that of WT CFTR even in the absence of ATP, and ATP binding further increased channel opening (Po(app) ϭ 0.198) (Fig. 8, D and E). Login to comment

244 Although thiol-specific disulfide cross-linking of S768C to H950C or nearby cysteines inserted in CL3 inhibited channel activity primarily by stopping the channel from opening, an electrostatic expulsion between S768R/D and H950R/D clearly promoted channel opening even in the absence of ATP.

248 Finally, both H950R and S768D promoted channel opening by ATP followed by curcumin or PKA phosphorylation, but H950D or S768R could not. Login to comment

291 In agreement with a proposal of His950 as an H-bond acceptor and Ser768 as an H-bond donor, S768D and H950R mutants were more sensitive to ATP or curcumin or PKA phosphorylation than S768R and H950D (Figs. 6-8). Login to comment
305 Finally, both proton donors cannot form an inhibitory H-bond between H950R and S768R. Login to comment
306 Instead, an electrostatic expulsion between H950R and S768R dramatically increased the ATP-independent open probabilities and sensitivity to ATP and PKA (Figs. 7 and 8). Login to comment
343 It is expected that H950R and H950R/S768R may also exert similar effects on the basal channel opening. Login to comment
