A conserved arginine near the filter of Kir1.1 controls Rb/K selectivity.
ROMK (Kir1.1) channels are important for K secretion and recycling in the collecting duct, connecting tubule and thick ascending limb of the mammalian nephron. We have identified a highly conserved Arg in the P loop of the channel near the selectivity filter that controls Rb/K selectivity. Mutation of this Arg to a Tyr (R128Y-Kir1.1b, R147Y-Kir1.1a) increased the macroscopic conductance ratio, ...
متن کاملThe aromatic/arginine selectivity filter of NIP aquaporins plays a critical role in substrate selectivity for silicon, boron, and arsenic
Nodulin-26-like intrinsic proteins (NIPs) of the aquaporin family are involved in the transport of diverse solutes, but the mechanisms controlling the selectivity of transport substrates are poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate how the aromatic/arginine (ar/R) selectivity filter influences the substrate selectivity of two NIP aquaporins; the silicic acid (Si) transpor...
متن کاملA conserved methionine residue controls the substrate selectivity of a neuronal glutamate transporter.
Glutamate transporters located in the brain maintain low synaptic concentrations of the neurotransmitter by coupling its flux to that of sodium and other cations. In the binding pocket of the archeal homologue Glt(Ph), a conserved methionine residue has been implicated in the binding of the benzyl moiety of the nontransportable substrate analogue threo-beta-benzyloxyaspartate. To determine whet...
متن کاملHigh Selectivity Miniaturized Broadband Filter
Design of a compact broadband filter using tightly coupled line sections in defected (A slot is cut in the ground) microstrip medium operating from 3.1–6.8 GHz has been reported in this article. Filter has been designed and analyzed using an equivalent circuit model based on even and odd mode parameters of coupled line sections. The proposed filter has attenuation poles on either side of the pa...
متن کاملIon–Ion Interactions at the Selectivity Filter
In the Kv2.1 potassium channel, binding of K(+) to a high-affinity site associated with the selectivity filter modulates channel sensitivity to external TEA. In channels carrying Na(+) current, K(+) interacts with the TEA modulation site at concentrations </=30 microM. In this paper, we further characterized the TEA modulation site and examined how varying K(+) occupancy of the pore influenced ...
