Functional modification of a Ca2+-activated K+ channel by trimethyloxonium.

Biochemistry
R MacKinnon, C Miller

Abstract

Single Ca2+-activated K+ channels from rat skeletal muscle plasma membranes were studied in neutral phospholipid bilayers. Channels were chemically modified by briefly exposing the external side to the carboxyl group modifying reagent trimethyloxonium (TMO). TMO modification, in a "multi-hit" fashion, reduces the single-channel conductance without affecting ion selectivity. Modification also shifts the voltage activation curve toward more depolarized voltages and reduces the affinity of the channel blocker charybdotoxin (CTX). CTX, bound to the channel during the TMO exposure, prevents the TMO-induced reduction of the single-channel conductance. These data suggest that the high-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel has carboxyl groups on its external surface. These groups influence ion conduction, gating, and the binding of CTX.
