Abstract

The function of the ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channel relies on the proper coupling between its two subunits: the pore-forming Kir6.2 and the regulator SUR. The conformation of the interface between these two subunits can be monitored using a rhodamine 123 (Rho) protection assay because Rho blocks Kir6.2 with an efficiency that depends on the relative position of transmembrane domain (TMD) 0 of the associated SUR (Hosy, E., Dérand, R., Revilloud, J., and Vivaudou, M. (2007) J. Physiol. 582, 27-39). Here we find that the natural and synthetic K(ATP) channel activators MgADP, zinc, and SR47063 induced a Rho-insensitive conformation. The activating mutation F132L in SUR1, which causes neonatal diabetes, also rendered the channel resistant to Rho block, suggesting that it stabilized an activated conformation by uncoupling TMD0 from the rest of SUR1. At a nearby residue, the SUR1 mutation E128K impairs trafficking, thereby reducing surface expression and causing hyperinsulinism. To augment channel density at the plasma membrane to investigate the effect of mutating this residue on channel function, we introduced the milder mutation E126A at the matching residue of SUR2A. Mutation E126A imposed a hypersensitive Rho phenotype i...Continue Reading
