Structure, function, and ion-binding properties of a K+channel stabilized in the 2,4-ion-bound configuration.
Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.USA, 116:16829-16834, 2019

PubMed Abstract: Here, we present the atomic resolution crystallographic structure, the function, and the ion-binding properties of the KcsA mutants, G77A and G77C, that stabilize the 2,4-ion-bound configuration (i.e., water, K, water, K-ion-bound configuration) of the K channel's selectivity filter. A full functional and thermodynamic characterization of the G77A mutant revealed wild-type-like ion selectivity and apparent K-binding affinity, in addition to showing a lack of C-type inactivation gating and a marked reduction in its single-channel conductance. These structures validate, from a structural point of view, the notion that 2 isoenergetic ion-bound configurations coexist within a K channel's selectivity filter, which fully agrees with the water-K-ion-coupled transport detected by streaming potential measurements.
