ATP-sensitive K+ channels
(KATP) are regulated by pH in addition to ATP,
ADP, and phospholipids. In the study we found evidence for the
molecular basis of gating the cloned KATP by intracellular protons. Systematic constructions of chimerical Kir6.2-Kir1.1 channels
indicated that full pH sensitivity required the N terminus, C terminus,
and M2 region. Three amino acid residues were identified in these
protein domains, which are Thr-71 in the N terminus, Cys-166 in the M2
region, and His-175 in the C terminus. Mutation of any of them to their
counterpart residues in Kir1.1 was sufficient to completely eliminate
the pH sensitivity. Creation of these residues rendered the mutant
channels clear pH-dependent activation. Thus, critical
players in gating KATP by protons are demonstrated. The pH
sensitivity enables the KATP to regulate cell excitability in a number of physiological and pathophysiological conditions when pH
is low but ATP concentration is normal.
