Key roles of hydrophobic rings of TM2 in gating of the α9α10 nicotinic cholinergic receptor

We have performed a systematic mutagenesis of three hydrophobic rings (17′, 13′ and 9′) within transmembrane region (TM) 2 of the α9α10 nicotinic cholinergic receptor (nAChR) to a hydrophilic (threonine) residue and compared the properties of mutant receptors reconstituted in Xenopus laevis oocytes....

Phenotypic changes in α9α10 mutant receptors were evidenced by a decrease in the desensitization rate, an increase in both the EC 50 for ACh as well as the efficacy of partial agonists and the reduction of the allosteric modulation by extracellular Ca 2+. Mutated receptors exhibited spontaneous openings and, at the single-channel level, an increased apparent mean open time with no major changes in channel conductance, thus suggesting an increase in gating of the channel as the underlying mechanism.

In spite of the fact that the roles of the TM2 residues are mostly conserved in the distant α9α10 member of the nAChR family, their mechanistic contributions to channel gating show significant differences when compared to other nAChRs. These differences might be originated from slight differential intramolecular rearrangements during gating for the different receptors and might lead each nAChR to be in tune with their physiological roles. © 2005 Nature Publishing Group All rights reserved.
