Phosphorylation of purified mitochondrial Voltage-Dependent Anion Channel by c-Jun N-terminal Kinase-3 modifies channel voltage-dependence
نویسندگان
چکیده
Voltage-Dependent Anion Channel (VDAC) phosphorylated by c-Jun N-terminal Kinase-3 (JNK3) was incorporated into the bilayer lipid membrane. Single-channel electrophysiological properties of the native and the phosphorylated VDAC were compared. The open probability versus voltage curve of the native VDAC displayed symmetry around the voltage axis, whereas that of the phosphorylated VDAC showed asymmetry. This result indicates that phosphorylation by JNK3 modifies voltage-dependence of VDAC.

Glycogen synthase kinase 3-mediated voltage-dependent anion channel phosphorylation controls outer mitochondrial membrane permeability during lipid accumulation.
UNLABELLED Nonalcoholic steatosis is a liver pathology characterized by fat accumulation and severe metabolic alterations involving early mitochondrial impairment and late hepatocyte cell death. However, mitochondrial dysfunction mechanisms remain elusive. Using four models of nonalcoholic steatosis, i.e., livers from patients with fatty liver disease, ob/ob mice, mice fed a high-fat diet, and ...
متن کاملMagic Angle Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Characterization of Voltage-Dependent Anion Channel Gating in Two-Dimensional Lipid Crystalline Bilayers
The N-terminus of the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) has been proposed to contain the mechanistically important gating helices that modulate channel opening and closing. In this study, we utilize magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR) to determine the location and structure of the N-terminus for functional channels in lipid bilayers by measuring long-range (13)C-(13)C...
متن کاملPhosphorylation of Voltage-Dependent Anion Channel by Serine/Threonine Kinases Governs Its Interaction with Tubulin
Tubulin was recently found to be a uniquely potent regulator of the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), the most abundant channel of the mitochondrial outer membrane, which constitutes a major pathway for ATP/ADP and other metabolites across this membrane. Dimeric tubulin induces reversible blockage of VDAC reconstituted into a planar lipid membrane and dramatically reduces respiration of i...
متن کاملPutative roles of mitochondrial Voltage-Dependent Anion Channel, Bcl-2 family proteins and c-Jun N-terminal Kinases in ischemic stroke associated apoptosis
There is a constant need for better stroke treatments. Neurons at the periphery of an ischemic stroke affected brain tissue remains metabolically active for several hours or days after stroke onset. They later undergo mitochondrion-mediated apoptosis. It has been found that inhibiting apoptosis in the peripheral ischemic neurons could be very effective in the prevention of stroke progression. D...
متن کاملRegulation of Shaker K+ channel inactivation gating by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase.
In response to depolarization of the membrane potential, Shaker K+ channels undergo a series of voltage-dependent conformational changes, from resting to open conformations followed by a rapid transition into a long-lived closed conformation, the N-type inactivated state. Application of phosphatases to the cytoplasmic side of Shaker channels in excised inside-out patches slows N-type inactivati...
