Human TMEM175 in complex with 4-aminopyridine
Structural highlights
DiseaseTM175_HUMAN Disease susceptibility may be associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry. TMEM175 defects result in unstable lysosomal pH, leading to decreased lysosomal catalytic activity, decreased glucocerebrosidase activity, impaired autophagosome clearance by the lysosome and decreased mitochondrial respiration (PubMed:28193887).[1] FunctionTM175_HUMAN Organelle-specific potassium channel specifically responsible for potassium conductance in endosomes and lysosomes. Forms a potassium-permeable leak-like channel, which regulates lumenal pH stability and is required for autophagosome-lysosome fusion. Constitutes the major lysosomal potassium channel.[2] [3] Publication Abstract from PubMedTransmembrane protein 175 (TMEM175) is an evolutionarily distinct lysosomal cation channel whose mutation is associated with the development of Parkinson's disease. Here, we present a cryoelectron microscopy structure and molecular simulations of TMEM175 bound to 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), the only known small-molecule inhibitor of TMEM175 and a broad K(+) channel inhibitor, as well as a drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration against multiple sclerosis. The structure shows that 4-AP, whose mode of action had not been previously visualized, binds near the center of the ion conduction pathway, in the open state of the channel. Molecular dynamics simulations reveal that this binding site is near the middle of the transmembrane potential gradient, providing a rationale for the voltage-dependent dissociation of 4-AP from TMEM175. Interestingly, bound 4-AP rapidly switches between three predominant binding poses, stabilized by alternate interaction patterns dictated by the twofold symmetry of the channel. Despite this highly dynamic binding mode, bound 4-AP prevents not only ion permeation but also water flow. Together, these studies provide a framework for the rational design of novel small-molecule inhibitors of TMEM175 that might reveal the role of this channel in human lysosomal physiology both in health and disease.
