摘要

Cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channels present a unique model for studying the molecular mechanisms of channel gating, We have studied the mechanism of potentiation of expressed rod CNG channels by Ni2+ as a first step toward understanding the channel gating process. Here we report that coordination of Ni2+ between histidine residues (H420) on adjacent channel subunits occurs when the channels are open, Mutation of H420 to lysine completely eliminated the potentiation by Ni2+ but did not markedly alter the apparent cGMP affinity of the channel, indicating that the introduction of positive charge at the Ni2+-binding site was not sufficient to produce potentiation, Deletion or mutation of most of the other histidines present in the channel did not diminish potentiation by Ni2+, We studied the role of subunit interactions in Ni2+ potentiation by generating heteromultimeric channels using tandem dimers of the rod CNG channel sequence, Injection of single heterodimers in which one subunit contained H420 and the other did not (wt/H420Q or H420Q/wt) resulted in channels that were not potentiated by Ni2+, However, coinjection of both heterodimers into Xenopus oocytes resulted in channels that exhibited potentiation, The H420 residues probably occurred predominantly in nonadjacent subunits when each heterodimer was injected individually, but, when the two heterodimers were coinjected, the H420 residues could occur in adjacent subunits as well, These results suggest that the mechanism of Ni2+ potentiation involves intersubunit coordination of Ni2+ by H420. Based on the preferential binding of Ni2+ to open channels, we suggest that alignment of H420 residues of neighboring subunits into the Ni2+-coordinating position may be associated with channel opening.
