ABSTRACT
|
|
|
| |
|
Potassium channels embedded in cell membranes employ gates to regulate K+
current. While a specific constriction in the permeation pathway has
historically been implicated in gating, recent reports suggest that the
signature ion selectivity filter located in the outer membrane leaflet may be
equally important. Inwardly rectifying K+ channels also control the
directionality of flow, using intracellular polyamines to stem ion efflux by a
valve-like action. This study presents crystallographic evidence of
interdependent gates in the conduction pathway and reveals the mechanism of
polyamine block. Reorientation of the intracellular domains, concomitant with
activation, instigates polyamine release from intracellular binding sites to
block the permeation pathway. Conformational adjustments of the slide helices,
achieved by rotation of the cytoplasmic assembly relative to the pore, are
directly correlated to the ion configuration in the selectivity filter. Ion
redistribution occurs irrespective of the constriction, suggesting a more
expansive role of the selectivity filter in gating than previously appreciated.

The most recent references are shown first.
Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly
from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be
only a partial list as not all journals are covered by
either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data
so more and more references will be included with time.
Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB
code is
shown on the right.
