Agonist-bound muscarinic receptors open atrial
K+ channels through a GTP-dependent pathway
mediated by the G protein Gk. However, nucleotides other
than GTP are also able to support channel activity, even in the absence
of agonists. This process was proposed to be mediated by
nucleoside-diphosphate (NDP) kinase, which would transfer phosphate
from nucleotide triphosphates to the GDP bound to Gk,
producing Gk-GTP without the need for receptor-induced
GDP-GTP exchange. We examined the effect of antibodies to NDP kinase on
the ATP-supported activity of atrial muscarinic K+ channels
and the corresponding GIRK1/CIR channels expressed in HEK 293 cells.
Inhibitory antibodies reduced ATP-induced channel openings, but this
effect displayed an absolute requirement for agonist and was also seen
with antibodies that do not inhibit the enzyme. Both types of
antibodies also reduced agonist-dependent channel activity
in the presence of GTP, ruling out a role for NDP kinase in GDP
rephosphorylation. Channel activity was not affected by the antibodies
in preparations where ATP-induced muscarinic channels are not under
tight receptor control, namely pertussis toxin-treated atrial patches
and membranes from cells expressing KACh channel subunits.
Thus, participation of NDP kinase in this pathway requires activated
receptors and has a function distinct from phosphate transfer between
nucleotides.
