Small conductance Ca2+-activated potassium
channels (SK channels) are coassembled complexes of pore-forming SK subunits and calmodulin. We proposed a model for channel activation in
which Ca2+ binding to calmodulin induces
conformational rearrangements in calmodulin and the subunits that
result in channel gating. We now report fluorescence measurements that
indicate conformational changes in the subunit after calmodulin
binding and Ca2+ binding to the subunit-calmodulin complex. Two-hybrid experiments showed that the
Ca2+-independent interaction of calmodulin with the
subunits requires only the C-terminal domain of calmodulin and is
mediated by two noncontiguous subregions; the ability of the E-F hands
to bind Ca2+ is not required. Although SK subunits lack a consensus calmodulin-binding motif, mutagenesis
experiments identified two positively charged residues required for
Ca2+-independent interactions with calmodulin.
Electrophysiological recordings of SK2 channels in membrane patches
from oocytes coexpressing mutant calmodulins revealed that channel
gating is mediated by Ca2+ binding to the first and
second E-F hand motifs in the N-terminal domain of calmodulin. Taken
together, the results support a calmodulin- and
Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent conformational change in
the channel subunits, in which different domains of calmodulin are
responsible for Ca2+-dependent and
Ca2+-independent interactions. In addition,
calmodulin is associated with each subunit and must bind at least
one Ca2+ ion for channel gating. Based on these
results, a state model for Ca2+ gating was developed
that simulates alterations in SK channel Ca2+
sensitivity and cooperativity associated with mutations in CaM.
Key words:
SK channels; afterhyperpolarization; calmodulin; Ca2+-gating; Ca2+-independent
interactions; state model
