S4–S5 linker movement during activation and inactivation in voltage-gated K⁺ channels
2018
Overview
The S4–S5 linker physically links voltage sensor and pore domain in voltage-gated ion channels and is essential for electromechanical coupling between both domains. Little dynamic information is available on the movement of the cytosolic S4–S5 linker due to lack of a direct electrical or optical readout. To understand the movements of the gating machinery during activation and inactivation, we incorporated fluorescent unnatural amino acids at four positions along the linker of the Shaker KV channel. Using two-color voltage-clamp fluorometry, we compared S4–S5 linker movements with charge displacement, S4 movement, and pore opening. We found that the proximal S4–S5 linker moves with the S4 helix throughout the gating process, whereas the distal portion undergoes a separate motion related to late gating transitions. Both pore and S4–S5 linker undergo rearrangements during C-type inactivation. In presence of accelerated C-type inactivation, the energetic coupling between movement of the distal S4–S5 linker and pore opening disappears.
