Signaling in Channel/Enzyme Multimers ATPase Transitions in SUR Module Gate ATP-Sensitive K+ Conductance
نویسندگان
چکیده
ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels are bifunctional multimers assembled by an ion conductor and a sulfonylurea receptor (SUR) ATPase. Sensitive to ATP/ADP, K(ATP) channels are vital metabolic sensors. However, channel regulation by competitive ATP/ADP binding would require oscillations in intracellular nucleotides incompatible with cell survival. We found that channel behavior is determined by the ATPase-driven engagement of SUR into discrete conformations. Capture of the SUR catalytic cycle in prehydrolytic states facilitated pore closure, while recruitment of posthydrolytic intermediates translated in pore opening. In the cell, channel openers stabilized posthydrolytic states promoting K(ATP) channel activation. Nucleotide exchange between intrinsic ATPase and ATP/ADP-scavenging systems defined the lifetimes of specific SUR conformations gating K(ATP) channels. Signal transduction through the catalytic module provides a paradigm for channel/enzyme operation and integrates membrane excitability with metabolic cascades.

Evidences on the existence of a new potassium channel in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) of rat hepatocytes
Introduction: we have recently reported the presence of two potassium currents with 598 and 368 pS conductance in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) membrane. The 598 pS channel was voltage dependent and ATP sensitive. However, the 368 pS channel was rarely observed and its identity remained obscure. Since cationic channels in intracellular organelles such as mitochondria and RER play imp...

There are many reports for involvement of ATP-sensitive potassium channels in pancreatic, cardiac and vascular smooth muscle cells. This study examined the effect of single doses of K+ channel openers diazoxide, minoxidil and K+ channel blockers chlorpropamide, glibenclamide on serum concentration of aldosterone in male rats. Blood samples were obtained 60 minutes after drug treatment and serum...
متن کاملRole for SUR2A ED Domain in Allosteric Coupling within the KATP Channel Complex
Allosteric regulation of heteromultimeric ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels is unique among protein systems as it implies transmission of ligand-induced structural adaptation at the regulatory SUR subunit, a member of ATP-binding cassette ABCC family, to the distinct pore-forming K+ (Kir6.x) channel module. Cooperative interaction between nucleotide binding domains (NBDs) of SUR is a pr...

متن کاملGating Behavior of Endoplasmic Reticulum Potassium Channels of Rat Hepatocytes in Diabetes
Background: Defects in endoplasmic reticulum homeostasis are common occurrences in different diseases, such as diabetes, in which the function of endoplasmic reticulum is disrupted. It is now well established that ion channels of endoplasmic reticulum membrane have a critical role in endoplasmic reticulum luminal homeostasis. Our previous studies showed the presence of an ATP-sensitive cationic...
