A Cyclic Nucleotide Modulated Prokaryotic K+ Channel
A search of prokaryotic genomes uncovered a gene from Mesorhizobium loti homologous to eukaryotic K(+) channels of the S4 superfamily that also carry a cyclic nucleotide binding domain at the COOH terminus. The gene was cloned from genomic DNA, and the protein, denoted MloK1, was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and purified. Gel filtration analysis revealed a heterogeneous distribution of pro...
متن کاملThe structure of the prokaryotic cyclic nucleotide-modulated potassium channel MloK1 at 16 A resolution.
The gating ring of cyclic nucleotide-modulated channels is proposed to be either a two-fold symmetric dimer of dimers or a four-fold symmetric tetramer based on high-resolution structure data of soluble cyclic nucleotide-binding domains and functional data on intact channels. We addressed this controversy by obtaining structural data on an intact, full-length, cyclic nucleotide-modulated potass...
متن کاملCryoEM structure of a prokaryotic cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channel.
Cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) and hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-regulated (HCN) ion channels play crucial physiological roles in phototransduction, olfaction, and cardiac pace making. These channels are characterized by the presence of a carboxyl-terminal cyclic nucleotide-binding domain (CNBD) that connects to the channel pore via a C-linker domain. Although cyclic nucleotide b...
متن کاملFunctional Reconstitution of a Prokaryotic K+ Channel
SliK, a K+ channel encoded by the Streptomyces KcsA gene, was expressed, purified, and reconstituted in liposomes. A concentrative 86Rb+ flux assay was used to assess the ion transport properties of SliK. SliK-mediated ionic flux shows strong selectivity for K+ over Na+ and is inhibited by micromolar concentrations of Ba2+, mirroring the basic permeation characteristic of eukaryotic K+ channels...
متن کاملAn inward current induced by a putative cyclic nucleotide-gated channel in rat cerebellar Purkinje neurons
The roles of cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channels in sensory transduction have long been recognized. More recent studies found that CNG channels are distributed in multiple brain regions involved in memory and learning, including the cortex, hippocampus and cerebellum. These findings suggest that their functions are not limited to sensory perception, but also to neuronal plasticity phenomena,...
