Ion permeation controlled by hydrophobic residues and proton binding in the proton-activated chloride channel

Summary: Recently identified proton-activated chloride channel (PAC) contains two transmembrane helices (S1–S2) and is involved in lysosome function, hypoxia adaption, stroke, and carcinogenesis. Although a PAC structure was recently resolved, its gating and activation mechanisms remained largely un...

Although a PAC structure was recently resolved, its gating and activation mechanisms remained largely unknown. By the two-electrode voltage clamp electrophysiology in Xenopus oocytes, we found that the hydrophobicity of site 304 at fenestrations, but not that of neighbor sites, is important for maintaining PAC at a closed state at pH 7.5. When activated at acidic pH, PAC activity significantly increased with the hydrophilicity of site 307 within S2, but not with that of neighbor sites, suggesting that 307 acts as an activation gate. We identified six conserved protonatable residues critical for proton-induced activation, consistent with structural studies.
