Presentation Transcript

  1. Chloride Channels - Joseph M. Breza -

  2. Chloride Channel Functions • Membrane potential • Resting potential • Facilitate fast depolarization (OFSNs) • Hyperpolarization (GABA, Glycine) • Spike timing (ISI, bursts) • Regulation of cell volume • Ubiquitously expressed throughout the body and nervous system - Olfaction, Taste, Vision, Somatosensory, Auditory, Muscle, Gut

  3. Gating Mechanisms • Voltage • Volume (swelling) • Ligand Binding • Ion Concentration • ATP • Protonation • Phosphorylation

  4. ClC channels are far more complex then K channels and can not be predicted by Hydrophobic analysis - Many possible ion pores are hidden in channels - HEK cells and Oocytes have Cl- channels Unlike K Channels, Chloride channels are less understood. CaC and CaK channels are frequently coexpressed and coactivated by Ca2+ and help to stabilize membrane potentials In general, Cl- channel blockers are dirty and can block cation current as well Interestingly, prokaryotic ClC channels function more as H+/Cl- transporters rather Than anion channels

  5. ClC-Kb - Bartter syndrome - low K+ levels - alkalosis - low blood pressure Vomiting Dehydration Electrolyte imbalance Mutations in chloride channels ClC-1 - Myotonia Congenita (neuromuscular disorder) ~ 75% of resting conductance. - shift in voltage dependency - prolonged depolarization CFTR- Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator - thick mucous production - effects the lungs, digestive and immune systems ClC-2 – activated by hyperpolarization, acidic pH and swelling. KO results in retinal degeneration or male infertility and spontaneous seizures.

  6. Chloride channel types 5-6 TMSs 1 TMS Ca2+ activated Cl- channels 4 TMSs Assumed to have 10-12 TMSs 12 TMSs With nucleotide Binding domains And a regulatory domain Crystallography suggests 18 a-helices Suzuki et al 2006

  11. pH 7.2 pH 7.2 + 1mM ATP pH 6.2 pH 6.2 + 1mM ATP Effect of pH on Open Probability Bennetts et al 2007

  12. CBS domains ClC-1 Key residue of ATP common gating Bennetts et al 2007

  13. pH 7.2 + 5mM ATP pH 6.2 pH 6.2 + 5mM ATP Role of Histidine Residues in Common Gating His847Ala His847Arg pH 7.9 pH 7.2 Effect of ATP on common gating is abolished pH + ATP effect is reduced Independent effects of pH and ATP are abolished Bennetts et al 2007

  14. pH 7.2 + 1mM ATP pH 6.2 pH 6.2 + 1mM ATP Role of Histidine Residues in Common Gating pH 7.9 His835Ala pH 7.2 Not significantly Different than wild type Bennetts et al 2007

  15. Summary • His847 and His835 (protonatable residues) are important in the effect of • intracellular acidosis on ClC-1 common gating. • 2) His847 is important for independent effects of protons and ATP. • - likely to be involved in the cooperative actions between intracellular • acidosis and ATP. • 3) His835Ala mutation separates the ATP effect, but not the synergistic effect • of acidosis and ATP.

  19. Effect of Zinc and Low pH on Current Yin et al 2006

  20. Channel Selectivity 80 0 -80 Yin et al 2006 (modified)

  21. Summary • Outward rectification is due to voltage-dependent current activation at depolarized voltages. • Rapidly inactivates at voltages more hyperpolarized than ~20 mV. • SCN- > I- > Br- > Cl- > F- • Inhibited by Zinc and low pH (4.8)
