Abstract [show]
High unitary Cl(-) conductance in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator Cl(-) channel requires a functionally unique, positively charged lysine residue (K95) in the inner vestibule of the channel pore. Here we used a mutagenic approach to investigate the ability of other sites in the pore to host this important positive charge. The loss of conductance observed in the K95Q mutation was >50% rescued by substituting a lysine for each of five different pore-lining amino acids, suggesting that the exact location of the fixed positive charge is not crucial to support high conductance. Moving the positive charge also restored open-channel blocker interactions that are lost in K95Q. Introducing a second positive charge in addition to that at K95 did not increase conductance at any site, but did result in a striking increase in the strength of block by divalent Pt(NO(2))(4)(2-) ions. Based on the site dependence of these effects, we propose that although the exact location of the positive charge is not crucial for normal pore properties, transplanting this charge to other sites results in a diminution of its effectiveness that appears to depend on its location along the axis of the pore.

78 As shown in Fig. 5, block of both I344H and V345H by Pt(NO2)4 2 was drastically stronger at pH 5.5 than at pH 9.0, with the mean Kd(0) for I344H and V345H being ~13-fold and ~38-fold lower, respectively, at acid pH (Fig. 5 D). Login to comment
80 In contrast to these large effects of pH on block by Pt(NO2)4 2 , the single-channel conductance of I344H and V345H, as well as that of the WT, were not significantly different at pH 5.5 and pH 9.0 (Fig. 6). Login to comment
81 Whereas the conductance of V345H was reduced to ~80% of WT conductance (independently of pH), the conductance of I344H was not significantly different from that of the WT (Fig. 6 C). Login to comment
82 Interestingly, whereas the conductance of I344H (at pH 5.5) was not significantly different from that of I344K (p > 0.37; Fig. 2 C), the conductance of V345H (pH 5.5) was ~20% greater than that of V345K (p < 0.002). Login to comment
102 In fact, the results of Fig. 6 support the latter explanation, because specifically toggling the positive charge in I344H or V345H by changing the pH did not alter single-channel conductance. Login to comment
130 (B) Mean concentration-inhibition relationships for WT (circles), I344H (squares), and V345H (triangles) at intracellular pH 5.5 (left, solid symbols) or 9.0 (right, open symbols) at a membrane potential of 100 mV. Each relationship was fitted according to Eq. 1. Login to comment
148 At these two sites, the effect on Pt(NO2)4 2 block could be ascribed unambiguously to an effect of the introduced positive charge, because the mutants I344H and V345H showed Pt(NO2)4 2 block similar to that of WT at pH 9.0, where the histidine side chains are expected to be uncharged, whereas at pH 5.5, which should promote protonation of these side chains, Pt(NO2)4 2 block was drastically strengthened (Fig. 5).
