Selectivity Mechanism of the Voltage-gated Proton Channel, HV1
Voltage-gated proton channels, HV1, trigger bioluminescence in dinoflagellates, enable calcification in coccolithophores, and play multifarious roles in human health. Because the proton concentration is minuscule, exquisite selectivity for protons over other ions is critical to HV1 function. The selectivity of the open HV1 channel requires an aspartate near an arginine in the selectivity filter...
متن کاملWater wires in atomistic models of the Hv1 proton channel.
The voltage-gated proton channel (Hv1) is homologous to the voltage-sensing domain (VSD) of voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels but lacks a separate pore domain. The Hv1 monomer has dual functions: it gates the proton current and also serves as the proton conduction pathway. To gain insight into the structure and dynamics of the yet unresolved proton permeation pathway, we performed all-atom ...
متن کاملMolecular determinants of Hv1 proton channel inhibition by guanidine derivatives.
The voltage-gated proton channel Hv1 plays important roles in proton extrusion, pH homeostasis, and production of reactive oxygen species in a variety of cell types. Excessive Hv1 activity increases proliferation and invasiveness in cancer cells and worsens brain damage in ischemic stroke. The channel is composed of two subunits, each containing a proton-permeable voltage-sensing domain (VSD) a...
متن کاملThe Voltage-Gated Proton Channel Hv1 Has Two Pores, Each Controlled by One Voltage Sensor
In voltage-gated channels, ions flow through a single pore located at the interface between membrane-spanning pore domains from each of four subunits, and the gates of the pore are controlled by four peripheral voltage-sensing domains. In a striking exception, the newly discovered voltage-gated Hv1 proton channels lack a homologous pore domain, leaving the location of the pore unknown. Also unk...
متن کاملVoltage-Sensing Domain of Voltage-Gated Proton Channel Hv1 Shares Mechanism of Block with Pore Domains
Voltage-gated sodium, potassium, and calcium channels are made of a pore domain (PD) controlled by four voltage-sensing domains (VSDs). The PD contains the ion permeation pathway and the activation gate located on the intracellular side of the membrane. A large number of small molecules are known to inhibit the PD by acting as open channel blockers. The voltage-gated proton channel Hv1 is made ...
