Citation | Journal: Nat Commun / Year: 2025Title: Ball-and-chain inactivation of a human large conductance calcium-activated potassium channel. Authors: Shubhangi Agarwal / Elizabeth D Kim / Sangyun Lee / Alexander Simon / Alessio Accardi / Crina M Nimigean / ![]() Abstract: BK channels are large-conductance calcium (Ca)-activated potassium channels crucial for neuronal excitability, muscle contraction, and neurotransmitter release. The pore-forming (α) subunits co- ...BK channels are large-conductance calcium (Ca)-activated potassium channels crucial for neuronal excitability, muscle contraction, and neurotransmitter release. The pore-forming (α) subunits co-assemble with auxiliary (β and γ) subunits that modulate their function. Previous studies demonstrated that the N-termini of β2-subunits can inactivate BK channels, but with no structural correlate. Here, we investigate BK β2-subunit inactivation using cryo-electron microscopy, electrophysiology and molecular dynamics simulations. We find that the β2 N-terminus occludes the pore only in the Ca-bound open state, via a ball-and-chain mechanism. The first three hydrophobic residues of β2 are crucial for occlusion, while the remainder of the N-terminus remains flexible. Neither the closed channel conformation obtained in the absence of Ca nor an intermediate conformation found in the presence of Ca show density for the N-terminus of the β2 subunit in their pore, likely due to narrower side access portals preventing their entry into the channel pore. | |||||||||
