متن کاملFunctional roles of Mg2+ binding sites in ion-dependent gating of a Mg2+ channel, MgtE, revealed by solution NMR
Magnesium ions (Mg2+) are divalent cations essential for various cellular functions. Mg2+ homeostasis is maintained through Mg2+ channels such as MgtE, a prokaryotic Mg2+ channel whose gating is regulated by intracellular Mg2+ levels. Our previous crystal structure of MgtE in the Mg2+-bound, closed state revealed the existence of seven crystallographically-independent Mg2+-binding sites, Mg1-Mg...
متن کاملMg2+ Homeostasis: The Mg2+nificent TRPM Chanzymes
TRPM6 and TRPM7 are distinct from all other ion channels in that they are composed of linked channel and protein kinase domains. Recent studies demonstrate that these 'chanzymes' are essential for Mg(2+) homeostasis, which is critical for human health and cell viability.
متن کاملMg2+-sensing mechanism of Mg2+ transporter MgtE probed by molecular dynamics study.
Proper regulation of the intracellular ion concentration is essential to maintain life and is achieved by ion transporters that transport their substrates across the membrane in a strictly regulated manner. MgtE is a Mg(2+) transporter that may function in the homeostasis of the intracellular Mg(2+) concentration. A recent crystallographic study revealed that its cytosolic domain undergoes a Mg...
متن کاملFunctional characterization of human SLC41A1, a Mg2+ transporter with similarity to prokaryotic MgtE Mg2+ transporters.
We have begun to identify and characterize genes that are differentially expressed with low magnesium. One of these sequences conformed to the solute carrier SLC41A1. Real-time RT-PCR of RNA isolated from renal distal tubule epithelial [mouse distal convoluted tubule (MDCT)] cells cultured in low-magnesium media relative to normal media and in the kidney cortex of mice maintained on low-magnesi...
