Function

[KCSA_STRLI] Acts as a pH-gated potassium ion channel; changing the cytosolic pH from 7 to 4 opens the channel, although it is not clear if this is the physiological stimulus for channel opening. Monovalent cation preference is K(+) > Rb(+) > NH4(+) >> Na(+) > Li(+).[1]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Here, we present the atomic resolution crystallographic structure, the function, and the ion-binding properties of the KcsA mutants, G77A and G77C, that stabilize the 2,4-ion-bound configuration (i.e., water, K(+), water, K(+)-ion-bound configuration) of the K(+) channel's selectivity filter. A full functional and thermodynamic characterization of the G77A mutant revealed wild-type-like ion selectivity and apparent K(+)-binding affinity, in addition to showing a lack of C-type inactivation gating and a marked reduction in its single-channel conductance. These structures validate, from a structural point of view, the notion that 2 isoenergetic ion-bound configurations coexist within a K(+) channel's selectivity filter, which fully agrees with the water-K(+)-ion-coupled transport detected by streaming potential measurements.
