摘要

The neurogenic protein Drosophila big brain (BIB), which is involved in the process of neuroblast determination, and the water channel aquaporin-1 (AQP1) are among a subset of the major intrinsic protein (MIP) channels that have been found to show gated monovalent cation channel activity. A glutamate residue in the first transmembrane (M1) domain is conserved throughout the MIP family. Mutation of this residue to asparagine in BIB (E71N) knocks out ion channel activity, and when coexpressed with BIB wild-type as shown here generates a dominant-negative effect on ion channel function, measured in the Xenopus oocyte expression system using two-electrode voltage clamp. cRNAs for wild-type and mutant BIB or AQP1 channels were injected individually or as mixtures. The magnitude of the BIB ionic conductance response was greatly reduced by coexpression of the mutant E71N subunit, suggesting a dominant-negative mechanism of action. The analogous mutation in AQP1 (E17N) did not impair ion channel activation by cGMP, but did knock out water channel function, although not via a dominant-negative effect. This contrast in sensitivity between BIB and AQP1 to mutation of the M1 glutamate suggests the possibility of interesting structural differences in the molecular basis of the ion permeation between these two classes of channels. The dominant-negative construct of BIB could be a tool for testing a role for BIB ion channels during nervous system development in Drosophila.
