摘要

原子分辨率结构为各种离子通道(包括钾离子通道)的门控和渗透机制提供了重要的见解。然而，离子通道也可能受到许多因素的调节，包括它们所嵌入的膜的物理化学性质。例如，双分子层的疏水区域与离子通道的疏水外表面的匹配被认为可以最大限度地减少溶剂化疏水残基或暴露的脂质尾部所需的能量惩罚。要了解这种疏水匹配调节的分子基础，需要在脂质膜存在的情况下检查通道。在这里，我们研究了疏水匹配在调节模式钾通道KcsA活性中的作用。86Rb+内流试验和单通道记录表明，非失活的E71A KcsA通道在薄双层中最活跃(本文章由计算机程序翻译，如有差异，请以英文原文为准。

The influence of membrane bilayer thickness on KcsA channel activity

ABSTRACT Atomic resolution structures have provided significant insight into the gating and permeation mechanisms of various ion channels, including potassium channels. However, ion channels may also be regulated by numerous factors, including the physiochemical properties of the membrane in which they are embedded. For example, the matching of the bilayer’s hydrophobic region to the hydrophobic external surface of the ion channel is thought to minimize the energetic penalty needed to solvate hydrophobic residues or exposed lipid tails. To understand the molecular basis of such regulation by hydrophobic matching requires examining channels in the presence of the lipid membrane. Here we examine the role of hydrophobic matching in regulating the activity of the model potassium channel, KcsA. 86Rb+ influx assays and single-channel recordings indicate that the non-inactivating E71A KcsA channel is most active in thin bilayers (
