Features of MotA proton channel structure revealed by tryptophan-scanning mutagenesis.
The MotA protein of Escherichia coli is a component of the flagellar motors that functions in transmembrane proton conduction. Here, we report several features of MotA structure revealed by use of a mutagenesis-based approach. Single tryptophan residues were introduced at many positions within the four hydrophobic segments of MotA, and the effects on function were measured. Function was disrupt...
متن کاملProperties of the Mechanosensitive Channel MscS Pore Revealed by Tryptophan Scanning Mutagenesis
Bacterial mechanosensitive channels gate when the transmembrane turgor rises to levels that compromise the structural integrity of the cell wall. Gating creates a transient large diameter pore that allows hydrated solutes to pass from the cytoplasm at rates close to those of diffusion. In the closed conformation, the channel limits transmembrane solute movement, even that of protons. In the Msc...
متن کاملActivating mutations of the TRPML1 channel revealed by proline-scanning mutagenesis.
The mucolipin TRP (TRPML) proteins are a family of endolysosomal cation channels with genetically established importance in humans and rodent. Mutations of human TRPML1 cause type IV mucolipidosis, a devastating pediatric neurodegenerative disease. Our recent electrophysiological studies revealed that, although a TRPML1-mediated current can only be recorded in late endosome and lysosome (LEL) u...
متن کاملAssembly and Activation of the MotA/B Proton Channel Complex of the Proton-Driven Flagellar Motor of Salmonella enterica
Salmonella enterica can swim by rotating multiple flagella, which arise randomly over the cell surface (Fig. 1A). The flagellum consists of at least three parts: the basal body, the hook, and the filament. The basal body is embedded within the cell membranes and acts as a bidirectional rotary motor powered by an electrochemical potential gradient of protons across the cytoplasmic membrane (Fig....
متن کاملStructure of TRPV1 channel revealed by electron cryomicroscopy.
The transient receptor potential (TRP) family of ion channels participate in many signaling pathways. TRPV1 functions as a molecular integrator of noxious stimuli, including heat, low pH, and chemical ligands. Here, we report the 3D structure of full-length rat TRPV1 channel expressed in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and purified by immunoaffinity chromatography. We demonstrate that the re...
