In vertebrate olfactory sensory neurons, odorant receptors couple
the sensory signal to the synthesis of the second messenger cAMP.
Cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channels are activated by binding of cAMP
and conduct a depolarizing receptor current that leads to electrical
excitation of the neuron. The sensitivity of olfactory CNG channels for
cAMP can be significantly reduced by binding of calmodulin to a
regulatory domain that resides within the N-terminus of the -subunit
of the channel. This regulatory domain also contains a consensus
phosphorylation sequence for protein kinase C (PKC). We have
investigated the effect of channel phosphorylation by PKC and found
that phosphorylation increases ligand sensitivity without counteracting
modulation of the channel by calmodulin. We have identified the amino
acid residue that is phosphorylated by PKC and have localized three
isoforms of PKC in olfactory sensory cilia. The results of this study
provide information about the control of ligand sensitivity in
olfactory CNG channels by an intrinsic regulatory domain, representing
both a calmodulin-binding site and a substrate for PKC.
