Alternates between open and closed states. Activated by low cytoplasmic Mg(2+) levels. Inactive when cytoplasmic Mg(2+) levels are high (By similarity).[UniProtKB:Q9WZ31] Publication Abstract from PubMed Structures of the Mg2+ bound (closed) and apo (open) states of CorA suggests that channel gating is accomplished by rigid-body motions between symmetric and asymmetric assemblies of the cytosolic portions of the five subunits in response to ligand (Mg2+) binding/unbinding at interfacial sites. Here, we structurally and biochemically characterize the isolated cytosolic domain from Escherichia coli CorA. The data reveal an Mg2+-ligand binding site located in a novel position between each of the five subunits and two Mg2+ ions trapped inside the pore. Soaking experiments show that cobalt hexammine outcompetes Mg2+ at the pore site closest to the membrane. This represents the first structural information of how an analog of hexa-hydrated Mg2+ (and competitive inhibitor of CorA) associates to the CorA pore. Biochemical data on the isolated cytoplasmic domain and full-length protein suggests that gating of the CorA channel is governed cooperatively.
