Functional 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 کاملA Solution to the Gating Paradox
We introduce a Markov model for the gating of membrane channels. The model features a possible solution to the so–called gating current paradox, namely that the bell–shaped curve that describes the voltage dependence of the kinetics is broader than expected from, and shifted relative to, the sigmoidal curve that describes the voltage dependence of the activation. The model also predicts some te...
متن کاملChannel gating: Twist to open
Recent studies of the bacterial mechanosensitive channel MscL have combined a number of different approaches to come up with a model for the channel gating mechanism.
متن کاملChannel Gating
Large conductance, voltageand Ca 2 -activated K (BK Ca ) channels regulate blood vessel tone, synaptic transmission, and hearing owing to dual activation by membrane depolarization and intracellular Ca 2 . Similar to an archeon Ca 2 -activated K channel, MthK, each of four subunits of BK Ca may contain two cytosolic RCK domains and eight of which may form a gating ring. The structure of the Mth...
