Resumen :
De trabajos anteriores, se sabe que la actividad del canal de potasio KcsA está modulada por fosfolípidos aniónicos en la membrana lipídica. En este estudio se han utilizado los mutantes KcsA W67 y KcsA W67 R64A para determinar si dicho efecto es directo o indirecto, afectando a la conformación del... Ver más
From previous studies, it is known that the activity of the potassium channel KcsA is modulated by anionic phospholipids in the lipid membrane. This study used mutants KcsA W67 and KcsA W67 R64A to determine if this effect is direct or indirect, affecting the conformation of the selectivity filter (SF) of the channel. The mutants were reconstituted in lipid bilayers or solubilized in detergent, with or without anionic phospholipids. SF conformation was determined by measuring fluorescence anisotropy using Homo-FRET, which provides information about the distances between W67 residues of each monomer. This study was conducted with the channel at pH 7 (closed state) and pH 4 (open state), varying the concentration of added K+ to estimate SF affinity for this ion, indicating the conformation of this domain. At pH 7, the SF exhibits high affinity for K+ (conductive state). However, at pH 4, the affinity is low (inactivated state). We found that, regardless of how anionic lipids are added, K+ affinity increases at pH 4, indicating a conformational change from an inactivated to a conductive state, suggesting a direct interaction of phospholipids with the channel. In the R64A mutation, no effect of anionic lipids on K+ affinity in the channel's SF was observed, concluding that these phospholipids affect the SF by binding to non-annular sites.
