Abstract
Cytoplasmic domains frequently promote functional assembly of multimeric ion channels. To investigate structural determinants of this process, we generated the ‘T1-chimera’ construct of the NaChBac sodium channel by truncating the C-terminal domain and splicing the T1-tetramerisation domain of the Kv1.2 channel to the N-terminus. Purified T1-chimera channels were tetrameric, conducted Na+ when reconstituted into proteliposomes and were blocked by the drug mibefradil. Both the T1-chimera and full-length NaChBac had comparable expression in the membrane whereas a NaChBac mutant lacking a cytoplasmic domain had greatly-reduced membranal expression. Our findings support a model whereby bringing the transmembrane regions into close proximity enables their tetramerization. This phenomemon is found with other channels and thus our findings substantiate this as a common assembly mechanism. Nazzareno ‡, Andrew J. Miles2 ‡, Andrew M. Powl2, Colin G.
