β-Barrel mobility underlies closure of the voltage-dependent anion channel.
The voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) is the major protein in the outer mitochondrial membrane, where it mediates transport of ATP and ADP. Changes in its permeability, induced by voltage or apoptosis-related proteins, have been implicated in apoptotic pathways. The three-dimensional structure of VDAC has recently been determined as a 19-stranded β-barrel with an in-lying N-terminal helix....
متن کاملFunctional dynamics in the voltage-dependent anion channel.
The voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), located in the outer mitochondrial membrane, acts as a gatekeeper for the entry and exit of mitochondrial metabolites. Here we reveal functional dynamics of isoform one of VDAC (VDAC1) by a combination of solution NMR spectroscopy, Gaussian network model analysis, and molecular dynamics simulation. Micro- to millisecond dynamics are significantly incr...
متن کاملStructure-based analysis of VDAC1: N-terminus location, translocation, channel gating and association with anti-apoptotic proteins.
Structural studies place the VDAC1 (voltage-dependent anion channel 1) N-terminal region within the channel pore. Biochemical and functional studies, however, reveal that the N-terminal domain is cytoplasmically exposed. In the present study, the location and translocation of the VDAC1 N-terminal domain, and its role in voltage-gating and as a target for anti-apoptotic proteins, were addressed....
متن کاملCysteine Residues Impact the Stability and Micelle Interaction Dynamics of the Human Mitochondrial β-Barrel Anion Channel hVDAC-2
The anti-apoptotic 19-stranded transmembrane human voltage dependent anion channel isoform 2 (hVDAC-2) β-barrel stability is crucial for anion transport in mitochondria. The role of the unusually high number of cysteine residues in this isoform is poorly understood. Using a Cys-less construct of hVDAC-2, we have investigated the contribution of cysteines to channel function, barrel stability an...
متن کاملVoltage Dependence of Conformational Dynamics and Subconducting States of VDAC-1.
The voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC-1) is an important protein of the outer mitochondrial membrane that transports energy metabolites and is involved in apoptosis. The available structures of VDAC proteins show a wide β-stranded barrel pore, with its N-terminal α-helix (N-α) bound to its interior. Electrophysiology experiments revealed that voltage, its polarity, and membrane compositio...
