Summary

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels are regulated by adenine nucleotides. The SUR subunit monitors cellular metabolism via MgADP binding, controlling channel activity.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Cell Physiology

Background:

  • ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels link cellular metabolism to membrane excitability.
  • Understanding the interaction between SUR and Kir6.x subunits with adenine nucleotides is crucial for elucidating metabolic regulation of KATP channels.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the direct interactions of KATP channel subunits (SUR and Kir6.x) with adenine nucleotides.
  • To elucidate the molecular mechanisms of metabolic regulation of KATP channels.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of direct interactions between adenine nucleotides and KATP channel subunits.
  • Photoaffinity labeling studies.

Main Results:

  • Kir6.2 binds adenine nucleotides independently of Mg2+.

  • SUR possesses two distinct nucleotide-binding sites (NBFs): NBF1 (Mg2+-independent, high affinity) and NBF2 (Mg2+-dependent, low affinity).
  • NBF2 exhibits ATPase activity, functioning as a cellular metabolism sensor, and its ATPase cycle explains the low ATP hydrolysis rate.

    • Conclusions:

    • A model for KATP channel regulation is proposed, where SUR monitors intracellular MgADP concentration.
    • KATP channel activation is likely induced by cooperative binding of ATP at NBF1 and MgADP at NBF2.
