MRS2, a magnesium channel ...Magnesium ions (Mg) play an essential role in cellular physiology. In mitochondria, protein and ATP synthesis and various metabolic pathways are directly regulated by Mg. MRS2, a magnesium channel located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, mediates the influx of Mg into the mitochondrial matrix and regulates Mg homeostasis. Knockdown of MRS2 in human cells leads to reduced uptake of Mg into mitochondria and disruption of the mitochondrial metabolism. Despite the importance of MRS2, the Mg translocation and regulation mechanisms of MRS2 are still unclear. Here, using cryo-EM we report the structures of human MRS2 in the presence and absence of Mg at 2.8 Å and 3.3 Å, respectively. From the homo-pentameric structures, we identify R332 and M336 as major gating residues, which are then tested using mutagenesis and two cellular divalent ion uptake assays. A network of hydrogen bonds is found connecting the gating residue R332 to the soluble domain, potentially regulating the gate. Two Mg-binding sites are identified in the MRS2 soluble domain, distinct from the two sites previously reported in CorA, a homolog of MRS2 in prokaryotes. Altogether, this study provides the molecular basis for understanding the Mg translocation and regulatory mechanisms of MRS2. |
