class="paragraph">Slo1 is a Ca<sup>2+</sup>- and voltage-activated K<sup>+</sup> channel that underlies skeletal and smooth muscle contraction, audition, hormone secretion and neurotransmitter release. In mammals, Slo1 is regulated by auxiliary proteins that confer tissue-specific gating and pharmacological properties. This study presents cryo-EM structures of Slo1 in complex with the auxiliary protein, β4. Four β4, each containing two transmembrane helices, encircle Slo1, contacting it through helical interactions inside the membrane. On the extracellular side, β4 forms a tetrameric crown over the pore. Structures with high and low Ca<sup>2+</sup> concentrations show that identical gating conformations occur in the absence and presence of β4, implying that β4 serves to modulate the relative stabilities of ‘pre-existing’ conformations rather than creating new ones. The effects of β4 on scorpion toxin inhibition kinetics are explained by the crown, which constrains access but does not prevent binding.</p> </div> </section> <section class="article-section " id="s1" data-behaviour="ArticleSection" > <header class="article-section__header"> <h2 class="article-section__header_text">Introduction</h2> </header> <div class="article-section__body"> <p class="paragraph">The Slo1 channel, also known as BK or MaxiK, distinguishes itself from other K<sup>+</sup> channels by its unusually large single-channel conductance (~10–20 times greater than most other K<sup>+</sup> channels) and dual regulation by intracellular Ca<sup>2+</sup> and membrane voltage (<a href="#bib54">Marty, 1981</a>; <a href="#bib63">Pallotta et al., 1981</a>; <a href="#bib7">Barrett et al., 1982</a>; <a href="#bib44">Latorre et al., 1982</a>; <a href="#bib46">Latorre and Miller, 1983</a>; <a href="#bib24">Elkins et al., 1986</a>; <a href="#bib4">Atkinson et al., 1991</a>; <a href="#bib1">Adelman et al., 1992</a>; <a href="#bib12">Butler et al., 1993</a>; <a href="#bib62">Pallanck and Ganetzky, 1994</a>; <a href="#bib52">Magleby, 2003</a>). Because both Ca<sup>2+</sup> and membrane voltage gate Slo1, it serves as a hub in numerous physiological processes that couple membrane excitability to Ca<sup>2+</sup> signaling events such as muscle contraction, audition, hormone secretion, and neurotransmitter release (<a href="#bib20">Contreras et al., 2013</a>; <a href="#bib45">Latorre et al., 2017</a>). Deficiencies in the Slo1 channel have been linked to a spectrum of diseases including hypertension, urinary incontinence secondary to overactive bladder (OAB), epilepsy, mental retardation, and autism (<a href="#bib20">Contreras et al., 2013</a>; <a href="#bib45">Latorre et al., 2017</a>).</p> <p class="paragraph">Slo1 functions as a tetramer of the pore-forming α subunit, which is encoded by a single gene, <i>Slowpoke</i> (<i>KCNMA1</i>). Previously, we determined the atomic structures of aplysia Slo1(acSlo1) in the absence and presence of Ca<sup>2+</sup> (<a href="#bib37">Hite et al., 2017</a>; <a href="#bib78">Tao et al., 2017</a>). These structures provided an explanation for the apparent paradox of an unusually high conductance and exquisite K<sup>+</sup> selectivity, showed how the Ca<sup>2+</sup> sensing mechanism can work, and showed how the Ca<sup>2+</sup> and voltage sensors are in contact with each other, allowing for the possibility that the two sensing mechanisms could be directly coupled (<a href="#bib37">Hite et al., 2017</a>; <a href="#bib78">Tao et al., 2017</a>).</p> <p class="paragraph">In mammals, Slo1 channels usually consist of α plus auxiliary subunits. The α subunits are similar to those of invertebrate Slo1 channels, but the auxiliary subunits represent a novel feature. Auxiliary subunits give rise to functional diversity and to tissue-specificity amongst the otherwise ubiquitously expressed Slo1 channel α subunit. There are two distinct families of auxiliary subunits discovered so far, termed β (2-transmembrane, 2-TM) and γ (single-TM) (<a href="#bib27">Garcia-Calvo et al., 1994</a>; <a href="#bib41">Knaus et al., 1994b</a>; <a href="#bib42">Knaus et al., 1994c</a>; <a href="#bib8">Behrens et al., 2000</a>; <a href="#bib10">Brenner et al., 2000</a>; <a href="#bib57">Meera et al., 2000</a>; <a href="#bib80">Uebele et al., 2000</a>; <a href="#bib85">Weiger et al., 2000</a>; <a href="#bib89">Xia et al., 2000</a>; <a href="#bib9">Braun, 2010</a>; <a href="#bib90">Yan and Aldrich, 2010</a>; <a href="#bib91">Yan and Aldrich, 2012</a>; <a href="#bib95">Zhang and Yan, 2014</a>). These auxiliary subunits diversify the function of Slo1 to the greatest extent compared to other modifications such as alternative splicing, phosphorylation etc. They dramatically modify nearly all aspects of Slo1’s biophysical properties (including the activation and deactivation kinetics and Ca<sup>2+</sup> sensitivity) as well as pharmacological characteristics (such as the channel’s sensitivity to natural toxins) (<a href="#bib56">McManus et al., 1995</a>; <a href="#bib23">Dworetzky et al., 1996</a>; <a href="#bib17">Chang et al., 1997</a>; <a href="#bib61">Orio et al., 2002</a>; <a href="#bib47">Lippiat et al., 2003</a>; <a href="#bib33">Ha et al., 2004</a>; <a href="#bib11">Brenner et al., 2005</a>; <a href="#bib83">Wang et al., 2006</a>; <a href="#bib70">Savalli et al., 2007</a>; <a href="#bib53">Martin et al., 2008</a>; <a href="#bib9">Braun, 2010</a>; <a href="#bib88">Wu and Marx, 2010</a>; <a href="#bib90">Yan and Aldrich, 2010</a>; <a href="#bib91">Yan and Aldrich, 2012</a>; <a href="#bib79">Torres et al., 2014</a>; <a href="#bib95">Zhang and Yan, 2014</a>; <a href="#bib45">Latorre et al., 2017</a>). There are four members identified for each family (β1-β4 and γ1-γ4) and members within the same family modify channel function to very different extents. These auxiliary subunits generally do not exist in lower animals. Therefore, regulation of Slo1 by auxiliary subunits appears to be a key mechanism of functional tuning to fulfill different physiological roles in various tissues and cell types of higher animals.</p> <p class="paragraph">How these single or 2-TM small transmembrane proteins physically associate with and modulate the large pore-forming α subunit’s function has been studied by many scientists since the discovery of the first member - β1 in 1994 (<a href="#bib27">Garcia-Calvo et al., 1994</a>; <a href="#bib41">Knaus et al., 1994b</a>; <a href="#bib42">Knaus et al., 1994c</a>). So far, no structure of a β or γ subunit alone or in complex with the α subunit has been determined to help us understand how these proteins work. In this study we present the structures of a mammalian (human) Slo1 channel consisting of the α subunit alone and in complex with the brain-enriched β4 subunit. In each case (presence and absence of β4 subunit) we have determined the structures of Ca<sup>2+</sup>-activated (open) and Ca<sup>2+</sup>-depleted (closed) conformations. We also interrogate the influence of structure-guided mutations of β4 using an electrophysiological assay.</p> </div> </section> <section class="article-section " id="s2" data-behaviour="ArticleSection" data-initial-state="closed" > <header class="article-section__header"> <h2 class="article-section__header_text">Results</h2> </header> <div class="article-section__body"> <section class="article-section " id="s2-1" > <header class="article-section__header"> <h3 class="article-section__header_text">Structure determination of the human Slo1 channel in 4 states</h3> </header> <div class="article-section__body"> <p class="paragraph">To obtain biochemically stable protein samples suitable for structural studies we modified the gene encoding the Slo1 α subunit by removing the C-terminal 57 amino acids (unstructured in the crystal structure of the human Slo1 cytoplasmic domain) (<a href="#bib93">Yuan et al., 2010</a>). This modification neither affected the function of the Slo1 channel α subunit alone nor the functional influence β subunits have on Slo1 (<a href="/articles/51409/figures#fig1s1">Figure 1—figure supplement 1</a>). Co-expression with either the β1 or β4 subunit slowed the activation and deactivation kinetics of the truncated Slo1 channel and modified its apparent Ca<sup>2+</sup>sensitivity, as reported for the full length Slo1 channel (<a href="/articles/51409/figures#fig1s1">Figure 1—figure supplement 1</a>) (<a href="#bib56">McManus et al., 1995</a>; <a href="#bib23">Dworetzky et al., 1996</a>; <a href="#bib47">Lippiat et al., 2003</a>; <a href="#bib33">Ha et al., 2004</a>). The truncated Slo1 channel fused with a C-terminal GFP was either expressed alone or co-expressed with the β4 subunit in HEK293S GnTI<sup>-</sup> cells using the BacMam method (<a href="#bib29">Goehring et al., 2014</a>) and purified in the presence of Digitonin and a mixture of phospholipids using a GFP nanobody-affinity column followed by size-exclusion chromatography (<a href="#bib26">Fridy et al., 2014</a>).

Still we were able to build an essentially complete model of β4 de novo using a subclass from focused-classification (see Materials and methods). Registration of the β4 subunit sequence was confirmed by recognizable large sidechains and the presence of four disulfide bonds as well as sugars attached to the two sequence-predicted and mass-spectrometry-confirmed N-glycosylation sites. The final model has good geometry and contains amino acids 16–54, 91–569, 577–615, 681–833 and 871–1056 of the α subunit and amino acids 7–205 of the β4 subunit (<a href="#table1">Table 1</a>).</p> <p class="paragraph">The above atomic model of the Ca<sup>2+</sup>-bound α-β4 complex was used as a starting model for the other three conformations, followed by multiple rounds of manual rebuilding in Coot and real-space refinement with Phenix (<a href="#bib25">Emsley et al., 2010</a>; <a href="#bib2">Afonine et al., 2018</a>).

Four of the β4 subunits bind to the human Slo1 tetramer, extending the channel extracellularly by about 40 Å when viewed from the side (<a href="#fig1">Figure 1B</a>). The complex has dimensions of approximately 150×150×150 Å. Consistent with disulfide crosslinking data in the literature, β4 subunits are located between voltage sensor domains (VSDs) and each β4 subunit contacts two neighboring VSDs simultaneously (<a href="#fig1">Figure 1B</a>) (<a href="#bib48">Liu et al., 2008</a>; <a href="#bib86">Wu et al., 2009</a>; <a href="#bib49">Liu et al., 2010</a>; <a href="#bib87">Wu et al., 2013</a>). The 120-amino acid linker between the two TMs (TM1 and TM2) of β4 forms a well-ordered structure on the extracellular side (termed ‘EC domain’ throughout the manuscript).

The structure is held together by four disulfide bonds (<a href="#fig2">Figure 2C</a>). The β4 EC domain also contains two predicted N-glycosylation sites, with one of them conserved among all the β subunits (<a href="#fig2">Figure 2C</a> and <a href="/articles/51409/figures#fig2s1">Figure 2—figure supplement 1A</a>). Glycosylation at these two predicted sites were confirmed with tandem ms/ms and extra density near both sites was observed in the final map, most likely representing the sugars. Glycosylation was shown to regulate the sensitivity of Slo1-β4 to iberiotoxin and also modify other biophysical properties of Slo1-β1 (<a href="#bib39">Jin et al., 2002</a>; <a href="#bib34">Hagen and Sanders, 2006</a>). In the open Slo1-β4 model, these two glycosylation sites are located at the outer periphery of the EC domain, far from the β4/β4 or α/β4 interfaces (<a href="#fig2">Figure 2C</a>). Therefore, the structure does not obviously explain the functional effects of these modifications. We note that proteins in this study were expressed using a glycosylation-deficient strain that produces smaller sugar groups. We cannot rule out the possibility that these sugars under physiological conditions might form carbohydrate-carbohydrate or carbohydrate-protein interactions not observed in the current structural model. The secondary structural elements as well as the four disulfide bonds match a recently published NMR structure of the extracellular loop of human β4 (<a href="#bib84">Wang et al., 2018</a>). However, our Slo1-β4 complex structure exhibits a completely different tertiary structure of the EC domain than that proposed on the basis of NMR experiments. Based on a hypothetical Slo1-β4 model constructed from NMR titration and the β4 EC solution structure, N123 on β4 was suggested to be critical for regulating Slo1 gating through interactions with E264 on the turret of the α subunit upon Ca<sup>2+</sup> binding (<a href="#bib84">Wang et al., 2018</a>). The distance between sidechains of these two residues was hypothesized to shift from 10.6 Å to 5.5 Å when the channel opens, allowing them to interact. However, these two residues are more than 27 Å apart in our open Slo1-β4 complex structure and remained essentially static in the closed Slo1-β4 complex structure, making any direct interactions very unlikely.</p> <p class="paragraph">No structural homologs of the EC domain have been reported. A search of the protein data bank using Dali revealed only proteins sharing part of the structure with the top hits being mostly nucleotide binding proteins (such as exosome complex component RRP45 and translation initiation factor 2 γ subunit), which contain some of the β strands, and certain toxins (such as pertussis toxin and subtilase cytotoxin), which contain much shorter helices and loops. The physiological importance of this EC domain must await further study (see Discussion).</p> <p class="paragraph">The stoichiometry of α and β subunits was assumed generally to be 1:1. Evidence of sub 1:1 stoichiometry emerged from analysis of co-expression in oocytes (<a href="#bib82">Wang et al., 2002</a>) as well as in native tissues (<a href="#bib76">Solaro et al., 1995</a>; <a href="#bib22">Ding et al., 1998</a>; <a href="#bib43">Kuntamallappanavar et al., 2017</a>). It was proposed that a Slo1 channel can contain zero to four β subunits, with each β subunit incrementally influencing channel gating properties (<a href="#bib82">Wang et al., 2002</a>). In the Slo1-β4 complex structure, β4 binds to the α subunit with 1:1 subunit stoichiometry (i.e. four β4 subunits per tetramer of α subunits) (<a href="#fig1">Figures 1B</a> and <a href="#fig2">2D–E</a>). The four β4 subunits form extensive interfaces with neighboring EC domains, encompassing a buried area of ~907 Å<sup>2</sup>/monomer (<a href="#fig2">Figure 2D–G</a>). The protein sample used for EM studies was produced by overexpressing β4, thus we cannot rule out the possibility that a sub 1:1 β:α complex could exist under physiological conditions. However, the structure would predict a more stable conformation upon tetramer formation because the EC domain, which interacts extensively with itself, makes only minimal contact with the α subunit (<a href="#fig1">Figures 1B</a> and <a href="#fig2">2D–G</a>).</p> </div> </section> <section class="article-section " id="s2-4" > <header class="article-section__header"> <h3 class="article-section__header_text">Chemical nature of interfaces between β4 and α</h3> </header> <div class="article-section__body"> <p class="paragraph">Many biochemical and molecular biological studies have analyzed interactions between Slo1 and β subunits using, for example, disulfide crosslinking and TOXCAT assays (<a href="#bib48">Liu et al., 2008</a>; <a href="#bib86">Wu et al., 2009</a>; <a href="#bib49">Liu et al., 2010</a>; <a href="#bib59">Morera et al., 2012</a>; <a href="#bib87">Wu et al., 2013</a>). TM1 was predicted to be in the vicinity of S1 and S2 on the VSD (<a href="#bib48">Liu et al., 2008</a>; <a href="#bib86">Wu et al., 2009</a>; <a href="#bib49">Liu et al., 2010</a>; <a href="#bib87">Wu et al., 2013</a>) and direct interactions between TM1 of β2 and S1 of the VSD were found using the TOXCAT assay (<a href="#bib59">Morera et al., 2012</a>). In our Slo1-β4 structure, β4 associates with the α subunit almost exclusively through the two TM helices (<a href="#fig3">Figure 3A</a>). The TM1 segment near the outer leaflet of the membrane contacts the transmembrane domain (TMD) from one α subunit (‘α1’) through hydrophobic interactions with sidechains from S1 and the pore helix (PH), while at the same time interacting with sidechains from S6 and the turret of a contiguous α subunit (‘α2’) (<a href="#fig3">Figure 3A–B</a>). Notably, lipid molecules also contribute to these interfaces (<a href="#fig3">Figure 3A–B</a>). The TM1 segment near the inner leaflet acyl chain region mostly contacts S3 of α2 and several ordered lipid molecules through hydrophobic interactions (<a href="#fig3">Figure 3C</a>). The bottom of TM1, near the intracellular membrane interface, makes contacts with multiple regions of the α subunit including the S2-S3 linker and S0 from α2, the S6-RCK1 linker from α1 and phospholipid headgroups through hydrogen bonds (<a href="#fig3">Figure 3C</a>). With the same TOXCAT assay, no direct association with the α subunit was detected for TM2, the EC domain, or the C-terminus of β and it was thus suggested that there are no strong interactions between TM2 and S0 despite the nearness predicted from the disulfide crosslinking experiments (<a href="#bib48">Liu et al., 2008</a>; <a href="#bib86">Wu et al., 2009</a>; <a href="#bib49">Liu et al., 2010</a>; <a href="#bib59">Morera et al., 2012</a>; <a href="#bib87">Wu et al., 2013</a>). Our structure shows that the TM2 outer leaflet segment only interacts with α2. Furthermore, this interface is purely mediated by lipid molecules forming a hydrophobic core with TM2 sidechains (<a href="#fig3">Figure 3A–B</a>). The TM2 inner leaflet segment forms an extensive protein:protein interface with S0 and S3 from α2 (<a href="#fig3">Figure 3A and C</a>). The residues of β4 directly involved in the α/β association turn out to be fairly conserved among β1-β4 (<a href="/articles/51409/figures#fig2s1">Figure 2—figure supplement 1A</a>). Therefore, it would seem likely that β1-β4 subunits all bind to Slo1 in a similar fashion. Furthermore, Slo1 residues involved in these specific interactions appear to be conserved between Slo1 and Slo3, which would explain why all members of the β subunit family also physically associate with Slo3 (<a href="/articles/51409/figures#fig2s1">Figure 2—figure supplement 1B</a>) (<a href="#bib92">Yang et al., 2009</a>).

an ascending order from left to right. Based on their difference from the β4 or β1 wt values, these mutants are subdivided into four categories ranging from τ_on less than one half that of β4 wt (i.e. faster rates) to greater than two times β4 wt (i.e. slower rates). Deactivation time constants (τ_off) were plotted in a similar fashion (<a href="/articles/51409/figures#fig4s1">Figure 4—figure supplement 1B</a>). Mutants with faster activation rates were distributed throughout the β4 structure, while those with significantly slower activation rates were distributed with some bias towards the inner leaflet region of TM1, the N-loop, and the N-tail (<a href="/articles/51409/figures#fig4s1">Figure 4—figure supplement 1A and C</a>, <a href="#table2">Table 2</a>). While mutations affecting τ_on were not strongly correlated with effects on τ_off, those causing the greatest slowing of deactivation also involved the N-terminus of TM1, the N-loop and N-tail (<a href="/articles/51409/figures#fig4s1">Figure 4—figure supplement 1B</a> and <a href="#table2">Table 2</a>).</p> <p class="paragraph">Although not observed in the cryo-EM structure, the N-tail plays a definitive role in determining activation kinetics. Specifically, mutants containing the N-tail of β4 activate more slowly than those with the N-tail of β1. This effect is demonstrated in <a href="#fig4">Figure 4D</a>, which shows the influence of the β4 versus the β1 N-tail independent of mutations elsewhere in the body of the β subunit. The importance of the β subunit N-terminus to gating has already been proposed (<a href="#bib16">Castillo et al., 2015</a>). We also observe that removal of the N-tail results in a modest increase in the rate of activation (<a href="/articles/51409/figures#fig4s1">Figure 4—figure supplement 1</a> and <a href="#table2">Table 2</a>). In the open structure of the Slo1 α-β4 complex, the N-loop of β4 is located next to the S6-RCK1 linker of α. It would seem likely that the close proximity of this N-terminal region, including the N-tail of the β4 subunit, to an important gating region of the α subunit, the S6-RCK1 linker, somehow underlies the effects on activation that we observe.</p> </div> </section> <section class="article-section " id="s2-6" > <header class="article-section__header"> <h3 class="article-section__header_text">Ca<sup>2+</sup>-induced Pore Opening in the Context of the β4 Subunit</h3> </header> <div class="article-section__body"> <p class="paragraph">Ca<sup>2+</sup> binding to two unique Ca<sup>2+</sup> binding sites per α subunit produces protein conformational changes that splay the S6 (inner) helices, causing a wide pathway for ion diffusion to open between the cytoplasm and the transmembrane pore (<a href="#fig5">Figure 5A</a>). The Ca<sup>2+</sup> binding sites are located within the cytoplasmic ‘gating ring’, which is centered on the four-fold channel axis just beneath the transmembrane pore (<a href="#fig1">Figures 1B</a> and <a href="#fig5">5B</a>). When Ca<sup>2+</sup> binds, a domain of the gating ring closest to the membrane, called the RCK1 N-lobe, expands away from the channel’s central axis; expansion of all four RCK1 N-lobes, one from each subunit, produces a radial expansion, as shown (<a href="#fig5">Figure 5B</a>). Since the RCK1 N-lobes are connected directly to the S6 helices via the S6-RCK1 linkers, their expansion produces pore opening. Structural details of the Ca<sup>2+</sup> binding site reorganization upon Ca<sup>2+</sup> binding, RCK1 N-lobe expansion and pore opening observed in human Slo1 are essentially the same as those observed previously in acSlo1 (<a href="#bib37">Hite et al., 2017</a>; <a href="#bib78">Tao et al., 2017</a>).

Likewise, the two Ca<sup>2+</sup>-free structures of the α subunit (± β4 subunit) are also the same within the accuracy of our measurements (RMSD 1.1 Å) (<a href="/articles/51409/figures#fig5s1">Figure 5—figure supplement 1B</a>). Contrasting the large Ca<sup>2+</sup>-mediated conformational changes that occur within the α subunit pore (<a href="#fig5">Figure 5A</a>) and gating ring (<a href="#fig5">Figure 5B</a>) with the absence of conformational change in the β4 subunit (<a href="#fig5">Figure 5C</a>) gives the impression that the β4 subunits encage the α subunit channel without interfering with its Ca<sup>2+</sup>-mediated gating conformational changes. Within the outer leaflet of the membrane even lipid molecules that mediate interactions between the α and β subunits remain unperturbed (<a href="#fig5">Figure 5D and E</a>). Within the inner leaflet of the membrane, where large gating conformational changes in the α subunit occur (<a href="#fig5">Figure 5A and F–H</a>), interfaces between α and β subunits – especially surrounding the more centrally located TM1 of the β subunit – undergo change. This N-terminal segment of TM1 corresponds to the region where mutations had the largest influence on gating kinetics (<a href="#fig5">Figure 5F–H</a> and <a href="/articles/51409/figures#fig4s1">Figure 4—figure supplement 1</a>).</p> <p class="paragraph">In functional studies, β subunits alter the apparent Ca<sup>2+</sup> sensitivity of gating. But the sensitivity changes are not thought to reflect changes in intrinsic Ca<sup>2+</sup> affinity for the binding sites, but instead are proposed to reflect indirect effects that β subunits have on α subunit conformational changes that are coupled to Ca<sup>2+</sup> binding (<a href="#bib21">Cox and Aldrich, 2000</a>; <a href="#bib60">Nimigean and Magleby, 2000</a>; <a href="#bib6">Bao and Cox, 2005</a>; <a href="#bib70">Savalli et al., 2007</a>; <a href="#bib19">Contreras et al., 2012</a>). The structures support this proposal because the Ca<sup>2+</sup> binding sites are unaltered by the presence of β subunits (<a href="/articles/51409/figures#fig5s1">Figure 5—figure supplement 1C–F</a>). This study only determined structures at very low and very high Ca<sup>2+</sup> concentrations. Had we determined structures at intermediate Ca<sup>2+</sup> concentrations we suspect that we would observe the same closed and open conformations with a distribution accounting for their relative probabilities weighted according to the Ca<sup>2+</sup> concentration (<a href="#bib38">Hite and MacKinnon, 2017</a>). We expect that the ‘weighting function’ would be altered by the presence of β subunits. The structural data support the idea that β subunits stabilize or destabilize conformational states of the α subunits rather than creating new states. The RCK1 N-lobe and S6-RCK1 linker region of the α subunit is one likely region where β subunits exert their effects. We also must point out that the structures determined in this study, corresponding to a cycle relating β subunits to Ca<sup>2+</sup> binding (<a href="#fig1">Figure 1A</a>), are silent on direct effects that the β subunits could have on different conformations of the voltage sensors. It is very possible that yet unknown structural changes brought about by a transmembrane electric field could alter interactions between β subunits and the voltage sensors of the α subunits. Direct stabilization of different conformations of voltage sensors by β subunits remains a distinct mechanistic possibility (<a href="#bib6">Bao and Cox, 2005</a>; <a href="#bib70">Savalli et al., 2007</a>; <a href="#bib19">Contreras et al., 2012</a>).</p> </div> </section> <section class="article-section " id="s2-7" > <header class="article-section__header"> <h3 class="article-section__header_text">Structural basis for modification of Slo1 toxin sensitivity by β subunits</h3> </header> <div class="article-section__body"> <p class="paragraph">Certain protein toxins from scorpion venoms inhibit K<sup>+</sup> channels by plugging their extracellular pore entryway (<a href="#bib3">Anderson et al., 1988</a>; <a href="#bib51">MacKinnon and Miller, 1988</a>). Our understanding of these toxins’ mechanism of action as pore blockers comes mainly from studies of charybdotoxin (CTX) and Iberiotoxin (IbTX) inhibition of Slo1 channels (<a href="#bib14">Candia et al., 1992</a>; <a href="#bib28">Giangiacomo et al., 1992</a>; <a href="#bib58">Miller, 1995</a>). The large conductance of Slo1 has enabled the measurement of toxin association and dissociation events in single channel recordings (<a href="#bib51">MacKinnon and Miller, 1988</a>). About 30 years ago a Slo1 with altered toxin binding properties was discovered (<a href="#bib68">Reinhart et al., 1989</a>). The altered properties were later attributed to the presence of β4 subunits (<a href="#bib8">Behrens et al., 2000</a>; <a href="#bib10">Brenner et al., 2000</a>; <a href="#bib57">Meera et al., 2000</a>; <a href="#bib85">Weiger et al., 2000</a>; <a href="#bib47">Lippiat et al., 2003</a>). We now know that different β subunits confer unique pharmacological profiles to the Slo1 channel (<a href="#bib8">Behrens et al., 2000</a>; <a href="#bib10">Brenner et al., 2000</a>; <a href="#bib47">Lippiat et al., 2003</a>). Studies with mutant β subunits showed that toxins are most sensitive to the composition of the EC domain (<a href="#bib57">Meera et al., 2000</a>).</p> <p class="paragraph">The α-β4 structure provides a simple explanation for the general observation that β subunits slow the rates of association and dissociation of toxins with the channel: the EC domain crown limits access to the toxin binding site. Using the crystal structure of CTX bound to the Kv1.2-Kv2.1 paddle chimera channel to model CTX binding to Slo1, we conclude that there is adequate space for toxin binding within the cage beneath the crown, but that CTX has restricted access across the central opening to reach its binding site (<a href="#fig6">Figure 6A–C</a> and <a href="/articles/51409/figures#fig6s1">Figure 6—figure supplement 1</a>) (<a href="#bib5">Banerjee et al., 2013</a>). The toxin is elongated along one axis and likely has to orient with its long axis parallel to the 4-fold axis to pass through the opening on the top of the crown. Optimal orientation will still require amino acid sidechain adjustments on both the toxin and β subunits to permit passage. Restricted access rationalizes a reduced association rate (compared to a Slo1 channel without β subunits) if the probability of successful encounter is reduced (<a href="#bib74">Schurr, 1970</a>). Analogously, a reduced dissociation rate would reflect a reduced probability of toxin exit. If the toxin releases from its binding site and tumbles within the cage beneath the crown, rebinding many times before finally exiting, the resultant effect would be purely kinetic (the assumption here being that release and rebinding without dissociation from the cage would be too rapid to resolve as dissociation events in channel recordings). If, on the other hand, toxin is stabilized on its binding site by the β subunit, then equilibrium effects (i.e. effects on affinity) would also be expected. Data suggest that both kinetic (i.e. rate changes that could be modeled through a barrier height) and equilibrium effects (i.e. affinity changes that could be modeled through the depth of a toxin binding well) occur (<a href="#bib8">Behrens et al., 2000</a>; <a href="#bib10">Brenner et al., 2000</a>; <a href="#bib57">Meera et al., 2000</a>; <a href="#bib47">Lippiat et al., 2003</a>).</p> <div id="fig6" class="asset-viewer-inline asset-viewer-inline-- " data-variant="" data-behaviour="AssetNavigation AssetViewer ToggleableCaption" data-selector=".caption-text__body" data-asset-viewer-group="fig6" data-asset-viewer-uri="https://iiif.elifesciences.org/lax/51409%2Felife-51409-fig6-v2.tif/full/1500,/0/default.jpg" data-asset-viewer-width="1500" data-asset-viewer-height="1241" > <div class="asset-viewer-inline__header_panel"> <div class="asset-viewer-inline__header_text"> <span class="asset-viewer-inline__header_text__prominent">Figure 6</span> with 1 supplement <a href="/articles/51409/figures#fig6" class="asset-viewer-inline__header_link">see all</a> </div> <div class="asset-viewer-inline__figure_access"> <a href="https://elifesciences.org/download/aHR0cHM6Ly9paWlmLmVsaWZlc2NpZW5jZXMub3JnL2xheC81MTQwOSUyRmVsaWZlLTUxNDA5LWZpZzYtdjIudGlmL2Z1bGwvZnVsbC8wL2RlZmF1bHQuanBn/elife-51409-fig6-v2.jpg?_hash=L%2BjImFvGIamteBE3vbFK0S54oENAt1jzCj5fACRcV7Y%3D" class="asset-viewer-inline__download_all_link" download="Download"><span class="visuallyhidden">Download asset</span></a> <a href="https://iiif.elifesciences.org/lax/51409%2Felife-51409-fig6-v2.tif/full/1500,/0/default.jpg" class="asset-viewer-inline__open_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span class="visuallyhidden">Open asset</span></a> </div> </div> <figure class="captioned-asset"> <a href="https://iiif.elifesciences.org/lax/51409%2Felife-51409-fig6-v2.tif/full/1500,/0/default.jpg" class="captioned-asset__link" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> <picture class="captioned-asset__picture"> <source srcset="https://iiif.elifesciences.org/lax/51409%2Felife-51409-fig6-v2.tif/full/1234,/0/default.webp 2x, https://iiif.elifesciences.org/lax/51409%2Felife-51409-fig6-v2.tif/full/617,/0/default.webp 1x" type="image/webp" > <source srcset="https://iiif.elifesciences.org/lax/51409%2Felife-51409-fig6-v2.tif/full/1234,/0/default.jpg 2x, https://iiif.elifesciences.org/lax/51409%2Felife-51409-fig6-v2.tif/full/617,/0/default.jpg 1x" type="image/jpeg" > <img src="https://iiif.elifesciences.org/lax/51409%2Felife-51409-fig6-v2.tif/full/617,/0/default.jpg" alt="" class="captioned-asset__image" > </picture> </a> <figcaption class="captioned-asset__caption"> <h6 class="caption-text__heading">Structural basis for modification of Slo1 toxin sensitivity by β subunits.</h6> <div class="caption-text__body"><p class="paragraph">(<b>A</b>) CTX docked onto the Slo1 channel based on the crystal structure of the CTX-Kv1.2–2.1 paddle chimera (PDB 4JTA).

In 1994 Garcia and colleagues demonstrated that K69 on β1 (corresponding to R77 on β4) can be cross-linked to CTX (<a href="#bib40">Knaus et al., 1994a</a>). R77 is located inside the cage formed by the EC domain crown, facing the backside of CTX (i.e. the side opposite the pore’s selectivity filter) (<a href="#fig6">Figure 6D</a>). Scorpion toxins generally are electropositive on their surface: CTX and IbTX contain a total of 8 and 7 positively charged residues, respectively (<a href="#fig6">Figure 6E</a> and <a href="/articles/51409/figures#fig2s1">Figure 2—figure supplement 1C</a>). Garcia et. al. speculated that certain negatively charged residues within the large extracellular loop of the β subunit attract CTX to its binding site on the α subunit (<a href="#bib35">Hanner et al., 1998</a>). In line with this hypothesis, the inner surface of the cage formed by the EC domain crown is electronegative due to the presence of two rings of negatively charged residues – E64 and E67 (<a href="#fig6">Figure 6F–H</a>). These positions are almost strictly conserved as negatively charged residues (E or D) in β1 to β4 (<a href="/articles/51409/figures#fig2s1">Figure 2—figure supplement 1A</a>), which would create electrostatic interactions between the toxin and the β subunit. Mutations made on the back side of CTX have little effect on affinity for Slo1 without β subunits (<a href="#bib64">Park and Miller, 1992</a>). The structural model predicts that some of the same CTX mutations are likely to have an effect in the presence of β subunits (<a href="#fig6">Figure 6D</a>).</p> </div> </section> </div> </section> <section class="article-section " id="s3" data-behaviour="ArticleSection" data-initial-state="closed" > <header class="article-section__header"> <h2 class="article-section__header_text">Discussion</h2> </header> <div class="article-section__body"> <p class="paragraph">The ion channel composed of the α subunit of Slo1 forms a functional Ca<sup>2+</sup>- and voltage-gated K<sup>+</sup> channel. In different cells within an organism the functional properties of Slo1 are not all the same: variations in the kinetics of channel opening and closing and in the apparent Ca<sup>2+</sup> sensitivity are observed. These variations exist because the functional properties of Slo1 channels are ‘tuned’ through RNA splicing, posttranslational modifications, and assembly of the Slo1 α subunit with auxiliary β or γ subunits. In this study we for the first time visualize the assembly of the Slo1 α subunit with an auxiliary subunit, the β4 subunit. The structure offers a mechanistic picture explaining certain functional properties, such as the influence of β subunits on toxin interactions with Slo1. The structure also implies that the N-terminus of the β subunit TM1 and the segment of β4 preceding TM1 influence channel gating through interactions with the gating ring RCK1 N-lobe and the S6-RCK1 linker. As is often the case, because functional properties of a protein can be sensitive to atomic displacements smaller than the resolution of a structure, many functional effects of β subunits are not easily explained by the structure. For the unexplained properties, the structure still serves as an essential starting point for future understanding.</p> <p class="paragraph">The Slo1 β subunits are one example of relatively small (i.e. TM segments not much larger than a few lipid molecules) membrane proteins that regulate the function of ion channels. Slo1 also has γ subunits, the KCNQ (Kv7) voltage-dependent K<sup>+</sup> channels co-assemble with single membrane-spanning KCNE subunits, Kv4 co-assembles with dipeptidyl aminopeptidase-like (DPPL) proteins and voltage-dependent Na<sup>+</sup> (Nav) channels are also associated with auxiliary subunits (<a href="#bib66">Pongs and Schwarz, 2010</a>; <a href="#bib13">Calhoun and Isom, 2014</a>; <a href="#bib95">Zhang and Yan, 2014</a>). These small transmembrane proteins are generally multifunctional, affecting various aspects of the larger target protein including trafficking/surface expression, biophysical properties, pharmacological profiles, and assembly into functional complexes (<a href="#bib66">Pongs and Schwarz, 2010</a>; <a href="#bib97">Zickermann et al., 2010</a>; <a href="#bib13">Calhoun and Isom, 2014</a>). DPPL for Kv4 has been implicated in binding to components of the extracellular matrix through its extracellular domain (<a href="#bib66">Pongs and Schwarz, 2010</a>), and the Nav β subunit extracellular domain plays a crucial role in cell adhesion and migration (<a href="#bib13">Calhoun and Isom, 2014</a>). Whether the structured crown of Slo1 β subunits (sequence similarity virtually guarantees a similar extracellular structure in β1-β3 as well) interacts with extracellular matrix proteins to localize Slo1 channels to specific regions of a cell, perhaps regions of contact with other cells, is still unknown, but seems like a good possibility.</p> <p class="paragraph">Another idea we have when looking at the α-β4 Slo1 structure is inspired by the location of the β subunit TM helices. When they encircle the α subunit, they must displace lipid molecules. As shown in the structures, certain lipid molecules are bound at the α/β subunit interfaces, but the presence of β subunits necessitates the displacement of some lipids. We know that the function of many ion channels is very sensitive to the membrane lipid composition (<a href="#bib36">Heginbotham et al., 1998</a>; <a href="#bib81">Valiyaveetil et al., 2002</a>; <a href="#bib72">Schmidt et al., 2006</a>; <a href="#bib73">Schmidt et al., 2009</a>; <a href="#bib18">Cheng et al., 2011</a>). Thus, we consider it perhaps useful to view these small transmembrane spanning proteins as membrane components that, like lipids, by altering the chemical and physical properties of the surrounding membrane, alter the function of the ion channel.</p> </div> </section> <section class="article-section " id="s4" data-behaviour="ArticleSection" data-initial-state="closed" > <header

was generously provided by Ligia Toro in a pcDNA3 vector and served as the template for subcloning. To improve the biochemical stability of hsSlo1, we excluded the very C-terminal 57 residues at the level of molecular biology. Specifically, a gene fragment encoding residues 1–1056 of hsSlo1 was subcloned into a modified pEG BacMam vector (<a href="#bib29">Goehring et al., 2014</a>). The resulting protein has green fluorescent protein (GFP) and a 1D4 antibody recognition sequence (TETSQVAPA) on the C-terminus, separated by a PreScission protease cleavage site (SNSLEVLFQ/GP). This truncated construct, denoted hsSlo1<sub>EM</sub>, was used in all the experiments of this manuscript.</p> <p class="paragraph">Synthetic gene fragments (Genewiz) encoding full length human β4 (GI: 26051275, residues 1–210) and β1 (GI: 4758626, residues 1–191) subunit of Slo1 were subcloned into a similarly modified pEG BacMam vector with mCherry and a deca-histidine affinity tag (mCherry-His10) replacing the GFP-1D4 fragment.</p> <p class="paragraph">HsSlo1 was either expressed alone or co-expressed with the β4 subunit in HEK293S GnTI<sup>-</sup> cells using the BacMam method (<a href="#bib29">Goehring et al., 2014</a>). Briefly, bacmid carrying hsSlo1<sub>EM</sub> or β4 subunit was generated by transforming <i>E. coli</i> DH10Bac cells with the corresponding pEG BacMam construct according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Bac-to-Bac; Invitrogen). Baculoviruses were produced by transfecting <i>Spodoptera frugiperda</i> Sf9 cells with the bacmid using Cellfectin II (Invitrogen). Baculoviruses, after two rounds of amplification, were used for cell transduction. Suspension cultures of HEK293S GnTI<sup>-</sup> cells were grown at 37°C to a density of ~3×10<sup>6</sup> cells/ml. For expression of hsSlo1 alone, cell culture was infected with 15% (v:v) of hsSlo1<sub>EM</sub> baculovirus. For co-expression of hsSlo1 and β4 subunit, cell culture was infected with 5% (v:v) hsSlo1<sub>EM</sub> plus 15% (v:v) of β4 baculoviruses to initiate the transduction. After 20 hr, 10 mM sodium butyrate was supplemented and the temperature was shifted to 30°C.

A number of proteins transiently associate with spliceosomes to specifically impact these steps (first and second step factors). We recently identified Fyv6 (FAM192A in humans) as a second step factor in <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i>; however, we did not determine how widespread Fyv6’s impact is on the transcriptome. To answer this question, we have used RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to analyze changes in splicing. These results show that loss of Fyv6 results in activation of non-consensus, branch point (BP) proximal 3ʹ SS transcriptome-wide. To identify the molecular basis of these observations, we determined a high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of a yeast product complex spliceosome containing Fyv6 at 2.3 Å. The structure reveals that Fyv6 is the only second step factor that contacts the Prp22 ATPase and that Fyv6 binding is mutually exclusive with that of the first step factor Yju2. We then use this structure to dissect Fyv6 functional domains and interpret results of a genetic screen for <i>fyv6Δ</i> suppressor mutations. The combined transcriptomic, structural, and genetic studies allow us to propose a model in which Yju2/Fyv6 exchange facilitates exon ligation and Fyv6 promotes usage of consensus, BP distal 3ʹ SS.</p> </div> </li> <li class="listing-list__item "> <div class="listing-list__divider"></div> <header class="content-header content-header--read-more clearfix content-header--header"> <ol class="content-header__subject_list"> <li class="content-header__subject_list_item">Structural Biology and Molecular Biophysics</li> </ol> <div class="content-header__body"> <h1 class="content-header__title content-header__title--long"> <a href="/articles/101401" class="content-header__title_link">Targeted anticancer pre-vinylsulfone covalent inhibitors of carbonic anhydrase IX</a> </h1> </div> <div class="authors authors--line">Aivaras Vaškevičius, Denis Baronas ...

The designed compounds have several functionalities: (1) primary sulfonamide group recognizing carbonic anhydrases (CA), (2) high-affinity moieties specifically recognizing CAIX among all CA isozymes, and (3) forming a covalent bond with the His64 residue. Such targeted covalent compounds possess both high initial affinity and selectivity for the disease target protein followed by complete irreversible inactivation of the protein via covalent modification. Our designed prodrug candidates bearing moderately active pre-vinylsulfone esters or weakly active carbamates optimized for mild covalent modification activity to avoid toxic non-specific modifications and selectively target CAIX. The lead inhibitors reached 2 pM affinity, the highest among known CAIX inhibitors.

Recently, a high-resolution structure of a strongly inactivated triple-mutant channel kv1.2-kv2.1-3m revealed a novel conformation of the selectivity filter that is dilated at its outer end, distinct from the well-characterized conductive state. While the experimental structure was interpreted as the elusive non-conductive state, our molecular dynamics simulations and electrophysiological measurements show that the dilated filter of kv1.2-kv2.1-3m is conductive and, as such, cannot completely account for the inactivation of the channel observed in the structural experiments. The simulation shows that an additional conformational change, implicating isoleucine residues at position 398 along the pore lining segment S6, is required to effectively block ion conduction. The I398 residues from the four subunits act as a state-dependent hydrophobic gate located immediately beneath the selectivity filter. These observations are corroborated by electrophysiological experiments showing that ion permeation can be resumed in the kv1.2-kv2.1-3m channel when I398 is mutated to an asparagine—a mutation that does not abolish C-type inactivation since digitoxin (AgTxII) fails to block the ionic permeation of kv1.2-kv2.1-3m_I398N. As a critical piece of the C-type inactivation machinery, this structural feature is the potential target of a broad class of quaternary ammonium (QA) blockers and negatively charged activators thus opening new research directions toward the development of drugs that specifically modulate gating states of Kv channels.</p> </div> </li> </ol> </div> </div> </div> <script type="application/ld+json">
