Best1 homolog structures reveal an evolutionarily conserved channel architecture highlighted by two landmark restrictions (named the "neck" and "aperture", respectively) in the ion conducting pathway, suggesting a unique dual-switch gating mechanism, which, however, has not been characterized well. Using patch clamp and crystallography, we demonstrate that both the neck and aperture in hBest1 are Ca(2+)-dependent gates essential for preventing channel leakage resulting from Ca(2+)-independent, spontaneous gate opening. Importantly, three patient-derived mutations (D203A, I205T and Y236C) lead to Ca(2+)-independent leakage and elevated Ca(2+)-dependent anion currents due to enhanced opening of the gates. Moreover, we identify a network of residues critically involved in gate operation. Together, our results suggest an indispensable role of the neck and aperture of hBest1 for channel gating, and uncover disease-causing mechanisms of hBest1 gain-of-function mutations. Dual Ca(2+)-dependent gates in human Bestrophin1 underlie disease-causing mechanisms of gain-of-function mutations.,Ji C, Kittredge A, Hopiavuori A, Ward N, Chen S, Fukuda Y, Zhang Y, Yang T Commun Biol. 2019 Jun 24;2:240. doi: 10.1038/s42003-019-0433-3. eCollection 2019.
