Crystal structure of KvAP-33H1 Fv complex
Overview
Voltage-dependent ion channels gate open in response to changes in cell, membrane voltage. This form of gating permits the propagation of action, potentials. We present two structures of the voltage-dependent K(+), channel KvAP, in complex with monoclonal Fv fragments (3.9 A) and without, antibody fragments (8 A). We also studied KvAP with disulfide, cross-bridges in lipid membranes. Analyzing these data in the context of, the crystal structure of Kv1.2 and EPR data on KvAP we reach the following, conclusions: (i) KvAP is similar in structure to Kv1.2 with a very modest, difference in the orientation of its voltage sensor; (ii) mAb fragments, are not the source of non-native conformations of KvAP in crystal, structures; (iii) because KvAP contains separate loosely adherent domains, a lipid membrane is required to maintain their correct relative, orientations, and (iv) the model of KvAP is consistent with the proposal, of voltage sensing through the movement of an arginine-containing, helix-turn-helix element at the protein-lipid interface.
