1 ATP-sensitive K þ channels (K ATP channels) are tetradimeric complexes of inwardly rectifying K þ channels (Kir6.x) and sulphonylurea receptors (SURs). The SURs SUR2A (cardiac) and SUR2B (smooth muscle) differ only in the last 42 amino acids. In SUR2B, the mutation Y1206S, located at intracellular loop 8, increases the affinity for glibenclamide (GBC) about 10-fold. Here, we examined whether the mutation Y1206S in SUR2A had effects similar to those in SUR2B.2 GBC bound to SUR2A with K D ¼ 20 nM; the mutation increased affinity B5 Â . 3 In cells, coexpression of SUR2A with Kir6.2 increased the affinity for GBCB3 Â ; with the mutant, the increase was 9 Â . 4 The mutation did not affect the affinity of SUR2A for openers; coexpression with Kir6.2 reduced opener affinity of wild-type and mutant SUR2A by about 2 Â . 5 The negative allosteric interaction between the opener, P1075, and GBC at wild-type and mutant SUR2A was markedly affected by the presence of MgATP and by coexpression with Kir6.2. 6 In inside-out patches, GBC inhibited the wild-type Kir6.2/SUR2A and 2B channels with IC 50 values of 27 nM; the mutation shifted the IC 50 values to B1 nM. 7 The data show that the mutation Y1206S increased the affinity of SUR2A for GBC and modulated the effects of coexpression. Overall, the changes were similar to those observed with SUR2B(Y1206S), suggesting that the differences in the last 42 carboxy-terminal amino acids of SUR2A and 2B are of limited influence on the binding of GBC and P1075 to the SUR2 isoforms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
