STRUCTURE OF THE N-TERMINAL DOMAIN OF THE HUMAN-ERG POTASSIUM CHANNEL
Contents |
Overview
The HERG voltage-dependent K+ channel plays a role in cardiac electrical, excitability, and when defective, it underlies one form of the long QT, syndrome. We have determined the crystal structure of the HERG K+ channel, N-terminal domain and studied its role as a modifier of gating using, electrophysiological methods. The domain is similar in structure to a, bacterial light sensor photoactive yellow protein and provides the first, three-dimensional model of a eukaryotic PAS domain. Scanning mutagenesis, of the domain surface has allowed the identification of a hydrophobic "hot, spot" forming a putative interface with the body of the K+ channel to, which it tightly binds. The presence of the domain attached to the channel, slows the rate of deactivation. Given the roles of PAS domains in biology, we propose that the HERG N-terminal domain has a regulatory function.
