== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Purinergic signaling relies on ATP release through exocytosis and large-pore channels. Large-pore channels permeate both small anions like chloride and large signaling molecules like ATP, but how this broad cargo selectivity is structurally controlled remains elusive. Here we investigate PANX1, a prototypical large-pore channel, and uncover structural plasticity at the extracellular entrance formed by seven tryptophan (W74) residues. The W74 sidechains are flexible, sampling conformations that range from a constricted state permissive only to chloride to a dilated state compatible with ATP. These states are coupled to variable cation-pi interactions between W74 and arginine 75 (R75), suggesting a mechanism for dynamic tuning of pore architecture and selective cargo permeation. We also identify mefloquine as a positive modulator of PANX1 that binds near the side tunnel to control ion flow through this pathway. Together, these findings define the structural principles underlying PANX1 permeation and modulation.
