Abstract
The membrane environment, including specific lipid characteristics, plays important roles in the folding, stability, and gating of the prokaryotic potassium channel KcsA. Here we study the effect of membrane composition on the population of various functional states of KcsA. The spectra provide support for the previous observation of copurifying phospholipids with phosphoglycerol headgroups. Additional, exogenously added anionic lipids do not appear to be required to stabilize the open conductive conformation of KcsA, which was previously thought to be the case. On the contrary, NMR-based binding studies indicate that including anionic lipids in proteoliposomes at acidic pH leads to a weaker potassium ion affinity at the selectivity filter. Since K+ ion loss leads to channel inactivation, these results suggest that anionic lipids promote channel inactivation.

Transmembrane allosteric coupling is a feature of many critical biological signaling events. Here we test whether transmembrane allosteric coupling controls the potassium binding affinity of the prototypical potassium channel KcsA in the context of C-type inactivation. Activation of KcsA is initiated by proton binding to the pH gate upon an... Read More
