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.

196 From the differences in the effects of mutations S341A and F337A on block by Glyb and Glip, and the similarity of effects of mutations M348A and V350A on block by the two drugs, we can infer that both drugs bind in the pore with the sulfonylurea-linked cyclohexamide end facing toward the cytoplasm.

Timing of CFTR Pore Opening and Structure of Its Transition State.
Cell. 2015 Oct 22;163(3):724-33. doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2015.09.052. Epub 2015 Oct 22., [PMID:26496611]

Abstract [show]
In CFTR, the chloride ion channel mutated in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, pore opening is coupled to ATP-binding-induced dimerization of two cytosolic nucleotide binding domains (NBDs) and closure to dimer disruption following ATP hydrolysis. CFTR opening rate, unusually slow because of its high-energy transition state, is further slowed by CF mutation DeltaF508. Here, we exploit equilibrium gating of hydrolysis-deficient CFTR mutant D1370N and apply rate-equilibrium free-energy relationship analysis to estimate relative timing of opening movements in distinct protein regions. We find clear directionality of motion along the longitudinal protein axis and identify an opening transition-state structure with the NBD dimer formed but the pore still closed. Thus, strain at the NBD/pore-domain interface, the DeltaF508 mutation locus, underlies the energetic barrier for opening. Our findings suggest a therapeutic opportunity to stabilize this transition-state structure pharmacologically in DeltaF508-CFTR to correct its opening defect, an essential step toward restoring CFTR function.
