  • A Sulfur-Aromatic Gate Latch Is Essential for Opening of the Orai1 Channel Pore
    RESEARCH ARTICLE A sulfur-aromatic gate latch is essential for opening of the Orai1 channel pore Priscilla S-W Yeung1†, Christopher E Ing2,3†, Megumi Yamashita1, Re´ gis Pome` s2,3, Murali Prakriya1* 1Department of Pharmacology, Northwestern University, Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, United States; 2Molecular Medicine, Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada; 3Department of Biochemistry, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada Abstract Sulfur-aromatic interactions occur in the majority of protein structures, yet little is known about their functional roles in ion channels. Here, we describe a novel molecular motif, the M101 gate latch, which is essential for gating of human Orai1 channels via its sulfur-aromatic interactions with the F99 hydrophobic gate. Molecular dynamics simulations of different Orai variants reveal that the gate latch is mostly engaged in open but not closed channels. In experimental studies, we use metal-ion bridges to show that promoting an M101-F99 bond directly activates Orai1, whereas disrupting this interaction triggers channel closure. Mutational analysis demonstrates that the methionine residue at this position has a unique combination of length, flexibility, and chemistry to act as an effective latch for the phenylalanine gate. Because sulfur- aromatic interactions provide additional stabilization compared to purely hydrophobic interactions, we infer that the six M101-F99 pairs in the hexameric channel provide a substantial energetic contribution to Orai1 activation. *For correspondence: [email protected] Introduction †These authors contributed The opening and closing of ion channels constitute an important means by which extracellular signals equally to this work are translated into the activation of specific intracellular signaling cascades.

Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) has been described in adult and neonatal murine cardiomyocytes, and Orai1 proteins act as crucial ion-conducting constituents of this calcium entry pathway that can be engaged not only by passive Ca2+ store depletion but also by neurohumoral stimuli such as angiotensin-II. In this study, we, therefore, analyzed the consequences of Orai1 deletion for cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in neonatal and adult cardiomyocytes as well as for other features of pathological cardiac remodeling including cardiac contractile function in vivo.

Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution Theodosius Dobzhansky, 1973 Summary The initial convention to name genes relied on historical precedent, order in the human genome or mutants in model systems. However, partial duplication of genes in teleosts required naming the duplicated genes, so ohnologs adopted the 'a' or 'b' extension. Rapid advances in deciphering the zebrafish genome in relation to the human genome instituted naming genes in all other fish genomes in the convention of zebrafish. Unfortunately, some ohnologs and their resembling orthologs suffered from incorrect nomenclature, which created confusion in particular instances like establishing disease models.
