Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels have diverse activation mechanisms including physical stimuli, such as high or low temperatures, and a variety of intracellular signaling molecules. Regulation by phosphoinositides and their derivatives is their only known common regulatory feature. For most TRP channels, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] serves as a cofactor required for activity. Such dependence on PI(4,5)P2 has been demonstrated for members of the TRPM subfamily and for the epithelial TRPV5 and TRPV6 channels. Intracellular TRPML channels show specific activation by PI(3,5)P2. Structural studies uncovered the PI(4,5)P2 and PI(3,5)P2 binding sites for these channels and shed light on the mechanism of channel opening. PI(4,5)P2 regulation of TRPV1-4 as well as some TRPC channels is more complex, involving both positive and negative effects. This review discusses the functional roles of phosphoinositides in TRP channel regulation and molecular insights gained from recent cryo-electron microscopy structures.

Abstract
Long-chain acyl-coenzyme A (LC-CoA) is a crucial metabolic intermediate that plays important cellular regulatory roles, including activation and inhibition of ion channels. The structural basis of ion channel regulation by LC-CoA is not known. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 5 and 6 (TRPV5 and TRPV6) are epithelial calcium-selective ion channels. Here, we demonstrate that LC-CoA activates TRPV5 and TRPV6 in inside-out patches, and both exogenously supplied and endogenously produced LC-CoA can substitute for the natural ligand phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) in maintaining channel activity in intact cells. Utilizing cryo-electron microscopy, we determined the structure of LC-CoA-bound TRPV5, revealing an open configuration with LC-CoA occupying the same binding site as PI(4,5)P2 in previous studies. This is consistent with our finding that PI(4,5)P2 could not further activate the channels in the presence of LC-CoA. Our data provide molecular insights into ion channel regulation by a metabolic signaling molecule.

Abstract
ATP is an important molecule implicated in diverse biochemical processes, including the modulation of ion channel and transporter activity. The voltage-gated proton channel (Hv1) controls proton flow through the transmembrane pathway in response to membrane potential, and various molecules regulate its activity. Although it is believed that ATP is not essential for Hv1 activity, a report has indicated that cytosolic ATP may modulate Hv1. However, the detailed molecular mechanism underlying the effect of ATP on Hv1 is unknown, and whether ATP is involved in the physiological regulation of Hv1 activity remains unclear. Here, we report that cytosolic ATP is required to maintain Hv1 activity. To gain insight into the underlying mechanism, we analysed the effects of ATP on the mouse Hv1 channel (mHv1) using electrophysiological and microscale thermophoresis (MST) methods. Intracellular ATP accelerated the activation kinetics of mHv1, thereby increasing the amplitude of the proton current within the physiological concentration range. The increase in proton current was reproduced with a non-hydrolysable ATP analogue, indicating that ATP directly influences Hv1 activity without an enzymatic reaction. The direct molecular interaction between the purified mHv1 protein and ATP was analysed and demonstrated through MST. In addition, ATP facilitation was observed for the endogenous proton current flowing through Hv1 in the physiological concentration range of ATP. These results suggest that ATP influences Hv1 activity via direct molecular interactions and is required for the physiological function of Hv1. KEY POINTS: We found that ATP is required to maintain the activity of voltage-gated proton channels (Hv1) and investigated the underlying molecular mechanism. Application of intracellular ATP increased the amplitude of the proton current flowing through Hv1, accompanied by an acceleration of activation kinetics. The direct interaction between purified Hv1 protein and ATP was quantitatively analysed using microscale thermophoresis. ATP enhanced endogenous proton currents in breast cancer cell lines. These results suggest that ATP influences Hv1 activity via direct molecular interactions and that its functional characteristics are required for the physiological activity of Hv1.

Abstract
Inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channels play a key role in maintaining the resting membrane potential and supporting potassium homeostasis. There are many variants of Kir channels, which are usually tetramers in which the main subunit has two trans-membrane helices attached to two N- and C-terminal cytoplasmic tails with a pore-forming loop in between that contains the selectivity filter. These channels have domains that are strongly modulated by molecules present in nutrients found in different diets, such as phosphoinositols, polyamines and Mg2+. These molecules can impact these channels directly or indirectly, either allosterically by modulation of enzymes or via the regulation of channel expression. A particular type of these channels is coupled to cell metabolism and inhibited by ATP (KATP channels, essential for insulin release and for the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases like diabetes mellitus). Genomic changes in Kir channels have a significant impact on metabolism, such as conditioning the nutrients and electrolytes that an individual can take. Thus, the nutrigenomics of ion channels is an important emerging field in which we are attempting to understand how nutrients and diets can affect the activity and expression of ion channels and how genomic changes in such channels may be the basis for pathological conditions that limit nutrition and electrolyte intake. In this contribution we briefly review Kir channels, discuss their nutrigenomics, characterize how different components in the diet affect their function and expression, and suggest how their genomic changes lead to pathological phenotypes that affect diet and electrolyte intake.

Abstract
Voltage-gated sodium (NaV) channels are densely expressed in most excitable cells and activate in response to depolarization, causing a rapid influx of Na+ ions that initiates the action potential. The voltage-dependent activation of NaV channels is followed almost instantaneously by fast inactivation, setting the refractory period of excitable tissues. The gating cycle of NaV channels is subject to tight regulation, with perturbations leading to a range of pathophysiological states. The gating properties of most ion channels are regulated by the membrane phospholipid, phosphatidylinositol (4,5) bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2). However, it is not known whether PI(4,5)P2 modulates the activity of NaV channels. Here, we utilize optogenetics to activate specific, membrane-associated phosphoinositide (PI)-phosphatases that dephosphorylate PI(4,5)P2 while simultaneously recording NaV1.4 channel currents. We show that dephosphorylating PI(4,5)P2 left-shifts the voltage-dependent gating of NaV1.4 to more hyperpolarized membrane potentials, augments the late current that persists after fast inactivation, and speeds the rate at which channels recover from fast inactivation. These effects are opposed by exogenous diC8PI(4,5)P2. We provide evidence that PI(4,5)P2 is a negative regulator that tunes the gating behavior of NaV1.4 channels.

Abstract
Many membrane proteins including ion channels and ion transporters are regulated by membrane phospholipids such as phosphoinositides in cell membranes and organelles. Voltage-sensing phosphatase, VSP, is a voltage-sensitive phosphoinositide phosphatase which dephosphorylates PI(4,5)P2 into PI(4)P. VSP rapidly reduces the level of PI(4,5)P2 upon membrane depolarization, thus serving as a useful tool to quantitatively study phosphoinositide-regulation of ion channels and ion transporters using a cellular electrophysiology system. In this review, we focus on the application of VSPs to Kv7 family potassium channels, which have been important research targets in biophysics, pharmacology and medicine.

Abstract
The ER Ca2+ channel ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2) is required for maintenance of insulin content and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, in part, via regulation of the protein IRBIT in the insulinoma cell line INS-1. Here, we examined store-operated and depolarization-dependent Ca2+entry using INS-1 cells in which either RyR2 or IRBIT were deleted. Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) stimulated with thapsigargin was reduced in RyR2KO cells compared to controls, but was unchanged in IRBITKO cells. STIM1 protein levels were not different between the three cell lines. Basal and stimulated (500 μM carbachol) phospholipase C (PLC) activity was also reduced specifically in RyR2KO cells. Insulin secretion stimulated by tolbutamide was reduced in RyR2KO and IRBITKO cells compared to controls, but was potentiated by an EPAC-selective cAMP analog in all three cell lines. Cellular PIP2 levels were increased and cortical f-actin levels were reduced in RyR2KO cells compared to controls. Whole-cell Cav channel current density was increased in RyR2KO cells compared to controls, and barium current was reduced by acute activation of the lipid phosphatase pseudojanin preferentially in RyR2KO cells over control INS-1 cells. Action potentials stimulated by 18 mM glucose were more frequent in RyR2KO cells compared to controls, and insensitive to the SK channel inhibitor apamin. Taken together, these results suggest that RyR2 plays a critical role in regulating PLC activity and PIP2 levels via regulation of SOCE. RyR2 also regulates β-cell electrical activity by controlling Cav current density and SK channel activation.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) is the most abundant membrane phosphoinositide and cholesterol is an essential component of the plasma membrane (PM). Both lipids play key roles in a variety of cellular functions including as signaling molecules and major regulators of protein function. This chapter provides an overview of these two important lipids. Starting from a brief description of their structure, synthesis, and regulation, the chapter continues to describe the primary functions and signaling processes in which PI(4,5)P2 and cholesterol are involved. While PI(4,5)P2 and cholesterol can act independently, they often act in concert or affect each other's impact. The chapters in this volume on "Cholesterol and PI(4,5)P2 in Vital Biological Functions: From Coexistence to Crosstalk" focus on the emerging relationship between cholesterol and PI(4,5)P2 in a variety of biological systems and processes. In this chapter, the next section provides examples from the ion channel field demonstrating that PI(4,5)P2 and cholesterol can act via common mechanisms. The chapter ends with a discussion of future directions.

Abstract
Prestin is a high-density motor protein in the outer hair cells (OHCs), whose conformational response to acoustic signals alters the shape of the cell, thereby playing a major role in sound amplification by the cochlea. Despite recent structures, prestin's intimate interactions with the membrane, which are central to its function remained unresolved. Here, employing a large set (collectively, more than 0.5 ms) of coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations, we demonstrate the impact of prestin's lipid-protein interactions on its organization at densities relevant to the OHCs and its effectiveness in reshaping OHCs. Prestin causes anisotropic membrane deformation, which mediates a preferential membrane organization of prestin where deformation patterns by neighboring copies are aligned constructively. The resulting reduced membrane rigidity is hypothesized to maximize the impact of prestin on OHC reshaping. These results demonstrate a clear case of protein-protein cooperative communication in membrane, purely mediated by interactions with lipids.

Abstract
Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin 3 (TRPM3) is a heat-activated ion channel expressed in peripheral sensory neurons and the central nervous system. TRPM3 activity depends on the membrane phospholipid phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2], but the molecular mechanism of activation by PI(4,5)P2 is not known. As no experimental structure of TRPM3 is available, we built a homology model of the channel in complex with PI(4,5)P2via molecular modeling. We identified putative contact residues for PI(4,5)P2 in the pre-S1 segment, the S4-S5 linker, and the proximal C-terminal TRP-domain. Mutating these residues increased sensitivity to inhibition of TRPM3 by decreasing PI(4,5)P2 levels. Changes in ligand-binding affinities via Molecular Mechanics/Generalized Born Surface Area (MM/GBSA) showed reduced PI(4,5)P2 affinity for the mutants. Mutating PI(4,5)P2 interacting residues also reduced sensitivity for activation by the endogenous ligand pregnenolone sulfate (PregS), pointing to an allosteric interaction between PI(4,5)P2 and PregS. Similarly, mutating residues in the PI(4,5)P2 binding site in TRPM8 resulted in increased sensitivity to PI(4,5)P2 depletion, and reduced sensitivity to menthol. Mutations of most PI(4,5)P2-interacting residues in TRPM3 also increased sensitivity to inhibition by Gβγ, indicating allosteric interaction between Gβγ and PI(4,5)P2. Disease-associated gain-of-function TRPM3 mutations on the other hand, resulted in no change of PI(4,5)P2 sensitivity, indicating that mutations did not increase channel activity via increasing PI(4,5)P2 interactions. Our data provide insight into the mechanism of regulation of TRPM3 by PI(4,5)P2, its relationship to endogenous activators and inhibitors, as well as identify similarities and differences between PI(4,5)P2 regulation of TRPM3 and TRPM8.

Abstract
G protein-gated inwardly rectifying K+ (GIRK) channels form highly active heterotetramers in the body, such as in neurons (GIRK1/GIRK2 or GIRK1/2) and heart (GIRK1/GIRK4 or GIRK1/4). Based on three-dimensional atomic resolution structures for GIRK2 homotetramers, we built heterotetrameric GIRK1/2 and GIRK1/4 models in a lipid bilayer environment. By employing a urea-based activator ML297 and its molecular switch, the inhibitor GAT1587, we captured channel gating transitions and K+ ion permeation in sub-microsecond molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. This allowed us to monitor the dynamics of the two channel gates (one transmembrane and one cytosolic) as well as their control by the required phosphatidylinositol bis 4-5-phosphate (PIP2). By comparing differences in the two trajectories, we identify three hydrophobic residues in the transmembrane domain 1 (TM1) of GIRK1, namely, F87, Y91, and W95, which form a hydrophobic wire induced by ML297 and de-induced by GAT1587 to orchestrate channel gating. This includes bending of the TM2 and alignment of a dipole of two acidic GIRK1 residues (E141 and D173) in the permeation pathway to facilitate K+ ion conduction. Moreover, the TM movements drive the movement of the Slide Helix relative to TM1 to adjust interactions of the CD-loop that controls the gating of the cytosolic gate. The simulations reveal that a key basic residue that coordinates PIP2 to stabilize the pre-open and open states of the transmembrane gate flips in the inhibited state to form a direct salt-bridge interaction with the cytosolic gate and destabilize its open state.

Hypoxia inhibits the cardiac I K1 current through SUMO targeting Kir2.1 activation by PIP 2. iScience 2022; 25:104969.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death worldwide. Most deaths are sudden and occur secondary to the occlusion of coronary arteries resulting in a rapid decrease in cellular oxygen levels. Acute hypoxia is proarrhythmic, leading to disordered electrical signals, conduction block, and uncoordinated beating of the myocardium. Although acute hypoxia is recognized to perturb the electrophysiology of heart muscle, the mechanistic basis for the effect has remained elusive, hampering the development of targeted therapeutic interventions. Here, we show that acute hypoxia activates the redox-sensitive SUMO pathway in cardiomyocytes, causing rapid inhibition of the inward-rectifying K+ channel, Kir2.1. We find that SUMOylation decreases the activation of Kir2.1 channels by the membrane phospholipid phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2). These data provide a mechanistic basis for the proarrhythmic effects of acute hypoxia and offer a framework for understanding the central role of PIP2 in mediating the sequelae of hypoxia and SUMOylation in cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
The inwardly rectifying potassium channel (Kir) 4.1 (encoded by KCNJ10) interacts with Kir5.1 (encoded by KCNJ16) to form a major basolateral K+ channel in the renal distal convoluted tubule (DCT), connecting tubule (CNT), and the cortical collecting duct (CCD). Kir4.1/Kir5.1 heterotetramer plays an important role in regulating Na+ and K+ transport in the DCT, CNT, and CCD. A recent development in the field has firmly established the role of Kir4.1/Kir5.1 heterotetramer of the DCT in the regulation of thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl cotransporter (NCC). Changes in Kir4.1/Kir5.1 activity of the DCT are an essential step for the regulation of NCC expression/activity induced by dietary K+ and Na+ intakes and play a role in modulating NCC by type 2 angiotensin II receptor (AT2R), bradykinin type II receptor (BK2R), and β-adrenergic receptor. Since NCC activity determines the Na+ delivery rate to the aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron (ASDN), a distal nephron segment from late DCT to CCD, Kir4.1/Kir5.1 activity plays a critical role not only in the regulation of renal Na+ absorption but also in modulating renal K+ excretion and maintaining K+ homeostasis. Thus, Kir4.1/Kir5.1 activity serves as an important component of renal K+ sensing mechanism. The main focus of this review is to provide an overview regarding the role of Kir4.1 and Kir5.1 of the DCT and CCD in the regulation of renal K+ excretion and Na+ absorption.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide membrane lipids are ubiquitous low-abundance signaling molecules. They direct many physiological processes that involve ion channels, membrane identification, fusion of membrane vesicles, and vesicular endocytosis. Pools of these lipids are continually broken down and refilled in living cells, and the rates of some of these reactions are strongly accelerated by physiological stimuli. Recent biophysical experiments described here measure and model the kinetics and regulation of these lipid signals in intact cells. Rapid on-line monitoring of phosphoinositide metabolism is made possible by optical tools and electrophysiology. The experiments reviewed here reveal that as for other cellular second messengers, the dynamic turnover and lifetimes of membrane phosphoinositides are measured in seconds, controlling and timing rapid physiological responses, and the signaling is under strong metabolic regulation. The underlying mechanisms of this metabolic regulation remain questions for the future.

Abstract
Ion channels are integral membrane proteins whose gating has been increasingly shown to depend on the presence of the low-abundance membrane phospholipid, phosphatidylinositol (4,5) bisphosphate. The expression and function of ion channels is tightly regulated via protein phosphorylation by specific kinases, including various PKC isoforms. Several channels have further been shown to be regulated by PKC through altered surface expression, probability of channel opening, shifts in voltage dependence of their activation, or changes in inactivation or desensitization. In this review, we survey the impact of phosphorylation of various ion channels by PKC isoforms and examine the dependence of phosphorylated ion channels on phosphatidylinositol (4,5) bisphosphate as a mechanistic endpoint to control channel gating.

Abstract
SignificancePhosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) levels regulate cell membrane voltage by gluing two halves of a K+ channel together and opening the pore. PI(4)P competes with this process. Because both of these lipids are relatively abundant in the plasma membrane and are directly interconvertible through the action of specific enzymes, they may function together to regulate channel activity.

Abstract
Membrane protein function is regulated by the lipid bilayer composition. In many cases the changes in function correlate with changes in the lipid intrinsic curvature (c 0), and c 0 is considered a determinant of protein function. Yet, water-soluble amphiphiles that cause either negative or positive changes in curvature have similar effects on membrane protein function, showing that changes in lipid bilayer properties other than c 0 are important-and may be dominant. To further investigate the mechanisms underlying the bilayer regulation of protein function, we examined how maneuvers that alter phospholipid head groups effective "size"-and thereby c 0-alter gramicidin (gA) channel function. Using dioleoylphospholipids and planar bilayers, we varied the head groups' physical volume and the electrostatic repulsion among head groups (and thus their effective size). When 1,2-dioleyol-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC), was replaced by 1,2-dioleyol-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE) with a smaller head group (causing a more negative c 0), the channel lifetime (τ) is decreased. When the pH of the solution bathing a 1,2-dioleyol-sn-glycero-3-phosphoserine (DOPS) bilayer is decreased from 7 to 3 (causing decreased head group repulsion and a more negative c 0), τ is decreased. When some DOPS head groups are replaced by zwitterionic head groups, τ is similarly decreased. These effects do not depend on the sign of the change in surface charge. In DOPE:DOPC (3:1) bilayers, pH changes from 5→9 to 5→0 (both increasing head group electrostatic repulsion, thereby causing a less negative c 0) both increase τ. Nor do the effects depend on the use of planar, hydrocarbon-containing bilayers, as similar changes were observed in hydrocarbon-free lipid vesicles. Altering the interactions among phospholipid head groups may alter also other bilayer properties such as thickness or elastic moduli. Such changes could be excluded using capacitance measurements and single channel measurements on gA channels of different lengths. We conclude that changes gA channel function caused by changes in head group effective size can be predicted from the expected changes in c 0.

Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest group of receptors involved in cellular signaling across the plasma membrane and a major class of drug targets. The canonical model for GPCR signaling involves three components - the GPCR, a heterotrimeric G protein and a proximal plasma membrane effector - that have been generally thought to be freely mobile molecules able to interact by 'collision coupling'. Here, we synthesize evidence that supports the existence of GPCR-effector macromolecular membrane assemblies (GEMMAs) comprised of specific GPCRs, G proteins, plasma membrane effector molecules and other associated transmembrane proteins that are pre-assembled prior to receptor activation by agonists, which then leads to subsequent rearrangement of the GEMMA components. The GEMMA concept offers an alternative and complementary model to the canonical collision-coupling model, allowing more efficient interactions between specific signaling components, as well as the integration of the concept of GPCR oligomerization as well as GPCR interactions with orphan receptors, truncated GPCRs and other membrane-localized GPCR-associated proteins. Collision-coupling and pre-assembled mechanisms are not exclusive and likely both operate in the cell, providing a spectrum of signaling modalities which explains the differential properties of a multitude of GPCRs in their different cellular environments. Here, we explore the unique pharmacological characteristics of individual GEMMAs, which could provide new opportunities to therapeutically modulate GPCR signaling.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is a voltage-dependent non-selective cation channel activated by capsaicin, the main pungent ingredient of chili peppers, and noxious heat. Although TRPV1 channels produce outwardly rectifying currents even in the absence of capsaicin, little is known about the regulation mechanism of the TRPV1 currents. In the present study, we found that intracellular ATP regulates the basal activities of TRPV1 channels in a concentration-dependent manner. The ATP-dependent regulation of TRPV1 channels was mediated by phosphoinositides. Moreover, an increase in intracellular ATP concentration negatively shifted voltage-dependent activation of TRPV1 channels. These results suggest that the ATP-dependent production of phosphoinositides regulates the voltage-dependent gating of the basal TRPV1 channel activities in the absence of capsaicin.

Abstract
The lipid composition of the primary cilia membrane is emerging as a critical regulator of cilia formation, maintenance and function. Here, we show that conditional deletion of the phosphoinositide 5′-phosphatase gene Inpp5e, mutation of which is causative of Joubert syndrome, in terminally developed mouse olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs), leads to a dramatic remodeling of ciliary phospholipids that is accompanied by marked elongation of cilia. Phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2], which is normally restricted to the proximal segment redistributed to the entire length of cilia in Inpp5e knockout mice with a reduction in phosphatidylinositol (3,4)-bisphosphate [PI(3,4)P2] and elevation of phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-trisphosphate [PI(3,4,5)P3] in the dendritic knob. The redistribution of phosphoinositides impaired odor adaptation, resulting in less efficient recovery and altered inactivation kinetics of the odor-evoked electrical response and the odor-induced elevation of cytoplasmic Ca2+. Gene replacement of Inpp5e through adenoviral expression restored the ciliary localization of PI(4,5)P2 and odor response kinetics in OSNs. Our findings support the role of phosphoinositides as a modulator of the odor response and in ciliary biology of native multi-ciliated OSNs. Summary: Cilia of olfactory sensory neurons have a unique lipid composition. Localization of phospholipids is controlled by the INPP5E phosphatase and is involved in modulation of the odor response.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential canonical type 5 (TRPC5) ion channels are expressed in the brain and kidney and have been identified as promising therapeutic targets whose selective inhibition can protect against diseases driven by a leaky kidney filter, such as focal segmental glomerular sclerosis. TRPC5 channels are activated not only by elevated levels of extracellular Ca2+or lanthanide ions but also by G protein (Gq/11) stimulation. Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) hydrolysis by phospholipase C enzymes leads to PKC-mediated phosphorylation of TRPC5 channels and their subsequent desensitization. However, the roles of PIP2 in activation and maintenance of TRPC5 channel activity via its hydrolysis product diacyl glycerol (DAG), as well as the mechanism of desensitization of TRPC5 activity by DAG-stimulated PKC activity, remain unclear. Here, we designed experiments to distinguish between the processes underlying channel activation and inhibition. Employing whole-cell patch-clamp, we used an optogenetic tool to dephosphorylate PIP2 and assess channel-PIP2 interactions influenced by activators, such as DAG, or inhibitors, such as PKC phosphorylation. Using total internal reflection microscopy, we assessed channel cell surface density. We show that PIP2 controls both the PKC-mediated inhibition and the DAG- and lanthanide-mediated activation of TRPC5 currents via control of gating rather than channel cell surface density. These mechanistic insights promise to aid in the development of more selective and precise inhibitors to block TRPC5 channel activity and illuminate new opportunities for targeted therapies for a group of chronic kidney diseases for which there is currently a great unmet need.

Abstract
Ion channel are embedded in the lipid bilayers of biological membranes. Membrane phospholipids constitute a barrier to ion movement, and they have been considered for a long time as a passive environment for channel proteins. Membrane phospholipids, however, do not only serve as a passive amphipathic environment, but they also modulate channel activity by direct specific lipid-protein interactions. Phosphoinositides are quantitatively minor components of biological membranes, and they play roles in many cellular functions, including membrane traffic, cellular signaling and cytoskeletal organization. Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] is mainly found in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane. Its role as a potential ion channel regulator was first appreciated over two decades ago and by now this lipid is a well-established cofactor or regulator of many different ion channels. The past two decades witnessed the steady development of techniques to study ion channel regulation by phosphoinositides with progress culminating in recent cryoEM structures that allowed visualization of how PI(4,5)P2 opens some ion channels. This chapter will provide an overview of the methods to study regulation by phosphoinositides, focusing on plasma membrane ion channels and PI(4,5)P2.

In macrophage biology, resident peritoneal macrophages (RPMs) and thioglycolate-elicited peritoneal macrophages (TGPMs) have been traditionally utilized as primary cultured models. RPMs and TGPMs exhibit distinct morphological, functional and metabolic characteristics, although it remains unclear how cellular Ca2+ handling differs between them. In our Fura-2 Ca2+ imaging, TGPMs displayed elevated resting Ca2+ levels, increased store Ca2+ contents and facilitated store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) compared with RPMs. The intensified intracellular Ca2+ stores were enriched with major luminal Ca2+-binding proteins inducibly expressed in TGPMs. The elevated resting Ca2+ level was predominantly maintained by constitutive Ca2+ influx, probably through the transient receptor potential (TRP) family members TRPP2, TRPM7 and TRPA1. These TRP family channels seemed to be largely activated in a manner dependent on phospholipase C activity, and together with Orai channels, contributed to SOCE. Moreover, Ca2+-dependent K+ channels efficiently facilitated SOCE by enhancing the Ca2+ driving force in TGPMs. The consolidated cellular Ca2+ handling described may underlie the specialized cell-physiological features of TGPMs, such as vital proliferation, active migration and avid phagocytosis.

Abstract
The phosphoinositide, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), has long been established as a major contributor to intracellular signaling, primarily by virtue of its role as a substrate for phospholipase C (PLC). Signaling by Gq-protein-coupled receptors triggers PLC-mediated hydrolysis of PIP2 into inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and diacylglycerol, which are well known to modulate vascular ion channel activity. Often overlooked, however, is the role PIP2 itself plays in this regulation. Although numerous reports have demonstrated that PIP2 is critical for ion channel regulation, how it impacts vascular function has received scant attention. In this review, we focus on PIP2 as a regulator of ion channels in smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells-the two major classes of vascular cells. We further address the concerted effects of such regulation on vascular function and blood flow control. We close with a consideration of current knowledge regarding disruption of PIP2 regulation of vascular ion channels in disease.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) ions are critically important in orchestrating countless regulatory processes in eukaryotic cells. Consequently, cells tightly control cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentrations using a complex array of Ca2+-selective ion channels, transporters, and signaling effectors. Ca2+ transport through various cellular membranes is highly dependent on the intrinsic properties of specific membrane compartments and conversely, local Ca2+ changes have profound effects on the membrane lipid composition of such membrane sub-domains. In particular, inositol phospholipids are a minor class of phospholipids that play pivotal roles in the control of Ca2+-dependent signaling pathways. In this review, we will highlight some of the recent advances in this field as well as their impact in defining future research directions.

Abstract
KEY POINTS In vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), activation of Ca2+ -permeable store-operated channels (SOCs) composed of canonical transient receptor potential channel 1 (TRPC1) subunits mediates Ca2+ entry pathways that regulate contraction, proliferation and migration, which are processes associated with vascular disease. Activation of TRPC1-based SOCs requires protein kinase C (PKC) activity, which is proposed to phosphorylate TRPC1 proteins to promote channel opening by phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2 ). We investigated the identity of the PKC isoform involved in activating TRPC1-based SOCs in rat mesenteric artery VSMCs. TRPC1-based SOCs were reduced by PKCδ inhibitors and knockdown of PKCδ expression. Store depletion induced interactions between TRPC1 and PKCδ and PKCδ-dependent phosphorylation of TRPC1. Furthermore, generation of store-operated interactions between PIP2 and TRPC1 and activation of TRPC1-based SOCs by PIP2 required PKCδ. These findings reveal that PKCδ activity has an obligatory role in activating TRPC1-based SOCs, through regulating PIP2 -mediated channel opening. ABSTRACT In vascular smooth muscle cells (VMSCs), stimulation of Ca2+ -permeable canonical transient receptor potential channel 1 (TRPC1)-based store-operated channels (SOCs) mediates Ca2+ entry pathways that regulate cell contraction, proliferation and migration, which are processes associated with vascular disease. It is therefore important to understand how TRPC1-based SOCs are activated. Stimulation of TRPC1-based SOCs requires protein kinase C (PKC) activity, with store-operated PKC-dependent phosphorylation of TRPC1 essential for channel opening by phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2 ). Experimental protocols used to activate TRPC1-based SOCs suggest that the PKC isoform involved requires diacylglycerol (DAG) but is Ca2+ -insensitive, which are characteristics of the novel group of PKC isoforms (δ, ε, η, θ). Hence, the present study examined whether a novel PKC isoform(s) is involved in activating TRPC1-based SOCs in contractile rat mesenteric artery VSMCs. Store-operated whole-cell cation currents were blocked by Pico145, a highly selective and potent TRPC1/4/5 channel blocker and T1E3, a TRPC1 blocking antibody. PKCδ was expressed in VSMCs, and selective PKCδ inhibitory peptides and knockdown of PKCδ expression with morpholinos oligomers inhibited TRPC1-based SOCs. TRPC1 and PKCδ interactions and phosphorylation of TRPC1 induced by store depletion were both reduced by pharmacological inhibition and PKCδ knockdown. In addition, store-operated PIP2 and TRPC1 interactions were blocked by PKCδ inhibition, and PKCδ was required for PIP2 -mediated activation of TRPC1 currents. These results identify the involvement of PKCδ in stimulation of TRPC1-based SOCs and highlight that store-operated PKCδ activity is obligatory for channel opening by PIP2 , the probable activating ligand.

Abstract
In this review we will discuss the effect of two neuromodulatory transmitters, acetylcholine (ACh) and adenosine, on the synaptic release probability and short-term synaptic plasticity. ACh and adenosine differ fundamentally in the way they are released into the extracellular space. ACh is released mostly from synaptic terminals and axonal bouton of cholinergic neurons in the basal forebrain (BF). Its mode of action on synaptic release probability is complex because it activate both ligand-gated ion channels, so-called nicotinic ACh receptors and G-protein coupled muscarinic ACh receptors. In contrast, adenosine is released from both neurons and glia via nucleoside transporters or diffusion over the cell membrane in a non-vesicular, non-synaptic fashion; its receptors are exclusively G-protein coupled receptors. We show that ACh and adenosine effects are highly specific for an identified synaptic connection and depend mostly on the presynaptic but also on the postsynaptic receptor type and discuss the functional implications of these differences.

Abstract
The calcium-activated chloride channel, also known as TMEM16A, shows both calcium and membrane potential dependent activation. The channel is expressed broadly and contributes to a variety of physiological processes, and it is expected to be a target for the treatment of diseases such as hypertension, pain, cystic fibrosis and lung cancer. A thorough understanding of the structural characteristics of TMEM16A is important to reveal its physiological and pathological roles. Recent studies have released several Cryo-EM structures of the channel, revealed the structural basis and mechanism of the gating of the channel. This review focused on the understandings of the structural basis and molecular mechanism of the gating and permeation of TMEM16A channel, which will provide important basis for the development of drugs targeting TMEM16A.

Abstract
G-protein-gated inwardly-rectifying K+ (GIRK) channels are targets of Gi/o-protein-signaling systems that inhibit cell excitability. GIRK channels exist as homotetramers (GIRK2 and GIRK4) or heterotetramers with nonfunctional homomeric subunits (GIRK1 and GIRK3). Although they have been implicated in multiple conditions, the lack of selective GIRK drugs that discriminate among the different GIRK channel subtypes has hampered investigations into their precise physiological relevance and therapeutic potential. Here, we report on a highly-specific, potent, and efficacious activator of brain GIRK1/2 channels. Using a chemical screen and electrophysiological assays, we found that this activator, the bromothiophene-substituted small molecule GAT1508, is specific for brain-expressed GIRK1/2 channels rather than for cardiac GIRK1/4 channels. Computational models predicted a GAT1508-binding site validated by experimental mutagenesis experiments, providing insights into how urea-based compounds engage distant GIRK1 residues required for channel activation. Furthermore, we provide computational and experimental evidence that GAT1508 is an allosteric modulator of channel-phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate interactions. Through brain-slice electrophysiology, we show that subthreshold GAT1508 concentrations directly stimulate GIRK currents in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) and potentiate baclofen-induced currents. Of note, GAT1508 effectively extinguished conditioned fear in rodents and lacked cardiac and behavioral side effects, suggesting its potential for use in pharmacotherapy for post-traumatic stress disorder. In summary, our findings indicate that the small molecule GAT1508 has high specificity for brain GIRK1/2 channel subunits, directly or allosterically activates GIRK1/2 channels in the BLA, and facilitates fear extinction in a rodent model.

Abstract
In vascular smooth muscle cells (VMSCs), the stimulation of store-operated channels (SOCs) mediate Ca2+ influx pathways which regulate important cellular functions including contraction, proliferation, migration, and growth that are associated with the development of vascular diseases. It is therefore important that we understand the biophysical, molecular composition, activation pathways, and physiological significance of SOCs in VSMCs as these maybe future therapeutic targets for conditions such as hypertension and atherosclerosis. Archetypal SOCs called calcium release-activated channels (CRACs) are composed of Orai1 proteins and are stimulated by the endo/sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ sensor stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) following store depletion. In contrast, this review focuses on proposals that canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channels composed of a heteromeric TRPC1/C5 molecular template, with TRPC1 conferring activation by store depletion, mediate SOCs in native contractile VSMCs. In particular, it summarizes our recent findings which describe a novel activation pathway of these TRPC1-based SOCs, in which protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent TRPC1 phosphorylation and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) are obligatory for channel opening. This PKC- and PIP2-mediated gating mechanism is regulated by the PIP2-binding protein myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase (MARCKS) and is coupled to store depletion by TRPC1-STIM1 interactions which induce Gq/PLCβ1 activity. Interestingly, the biophysical properties and activation mechanisms of TRPC1-based SOCs in native contractile VSMCs are unlikely to involve Orai1.

Abstract
Recently there has been a flurry of interest in the regulation of the homo-dimeric calcium-activated chloride channel ANO1 (also known as TMEM16A) by phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2). These recent studies show that upon Ca2+ binding, PI(4,5)P2 cooperates to maintain the conductive state of ANO1. PI(4,5)P2 does so by binding to sites or modules on the protein's cytosolic side. These findings add a new function to the PI(4,5)P2 repertoire and a new dimension to ANO1 gating.

Abstract
G protein-gated inwardly rectifying K+ (GIRK) channels belong to the inward-rectifier K+ (Kir) family, are abundantly expressed in the heart and the brain, and require that phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate is present so that intracellular channel-gating regulators such as Gβγ and Na+ ions can maintain the channel-open state. However, despite high-resolution structures (GIRK2) and a large number of functional studies, we do not have a coherent picture of how Gβγ and Na+ ions control gating of GIRK2 channels. Here, we utilized computational modeling and all-atom microsecond-scale molecular dynamics simulations to determine which gates are controlled by Na+ and Gβγ and how each regulator uses the channel domain movements to control gate transitions. We found that Na+ ions control the cytosolic gate of the channel through an anti-clockwise rotation, whereas Gβγ stabilizes the transmembrane gate in the open state through a rocking movement of the cytosolic domain. Both effects alter the way in which the channel interacts with phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate and thereby stabilizes the open states of the respective gates. These studies of GIRK channel dynamics present for the first time a comprehensive structural model that is consistent with the great body of literature on GIRK channel function.

Abstract
ANO1 (TMEM16A) is a Ca2+-activated Cl- channel that regulates diverse cellular functions including fluid secretion, neuronal excitability, and smooth muscle contraction. ANO1 is activated by elevation of cytosolic Ca2+ and modulated by phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2]. Here, we describe a closely concerted experimental and computational study, including electrophysiology, mutagenesis, functional assays, and extended sampling of lipid-protein interactions with molecular dynamics (MD) to characterize PI(4,5)P2 binding modes and sites on ANO1. ANO1 currents in excised inside-out patches activated by 270 nM Ca2+ at +100 mV are increased by exogenous PI(4,5)P2 with an EC50 = 1.24 µM. The effect of PI(4,5)P2 is dependent on membrane voltage and Ca2+ and is explained by a stabilization of the ANO1 Ca2+-bound open state. Unbiased atomistic MD simulations with 1.4 mol% PI(4,5)P2 in a phosphatidylcholine bilayer identified 8 binding sites with significant probability of binding PI(4,5)P2 Three of these sites captured 85% of all ANO1-PI(4,5)P2 interactions. Mutagenesis of basic amino acids near the membrane-cytosol interface found 3 regions of ANO1 critical for PI(4,5)P2 regulation that correspond to the same 3 sites identified by MD. PI(4,5)P2 is stabilized by hydrogen bonding between amino acid side chains and phosphate/hydroxyl groups on PI(4,5)P2 Binding of PI(4,5)P2 alters the position of the cytoplasmic extension of TM6, which plays a crucial role in ANO1 channel gating, and increases the accessibility of the inner vestibule to Cl- ions. We propose a model consisting of a network of 3 PI(4,5)P2 binding sites at the cytoplasmic face of the membrane allosterically regulating ANO1 channel gating.

Abstract
Ca2+-calmodulin (CaM) extracts KRas4B from the plasma membrane, suggesting that KRas4B/CaM interaction plays a role in regulating Ras signaling. To gain mechanistic insight, we provide a computational model, supported by experimental structural data, of farnesylated/methylated KRas4B1-185 interacting with CaM in solution and at anionic membranes including signaling lipids. Due to multiple interaction modes, we observe diverse conformational ensembles of the KRas4B-CaM complex. A highly populated conformation reveals the catalytic domain interacting with the N-lobe and the hypervariable region (HVR) wrapping around the linker with the farnesyl docking to the extended CaM's C-lobe pocket. Alternatively, KRas4B can interact with collapsed CaM with the farnesyl penetrating CaM's center. At anionic membranes, CaM interacts with the catalytic domain with large fluctuations, drawing the HVR. Signaling lipids establishing strong salt bridges with CaM prevent membrane departure. Membrane-interacting KRas4B-CaM complex can productively recruit phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase α (PI3Kα) to the plasma membrane, serving as a coagent in activating PI3Kα/Akt signaling.

Abstract
The calcium-activated chloride channel (CaCC) TMEM16A plays crucial roles in regulating neuronal excitability, smooth muscle contraction, fluid secretion and gut motility. While opening of TMEM16A requires binding of intracellular Ca2+, prolonged Ca2+-dependent activation results in channel desensitization or rundown, the mechanism of which is unclear. Here we show that phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate (PIP2) regulates TMEM16A channel activation and desensitization via binding to a putative binding site at the cytosolic interface of transmembrane segments (TMs) 3-5. We further demonstrate that the ion-conducting pore of TMEM16A is constituted of two functionally distinct modules: a Ca2+-binding module formed by TMs 6-8 and a PIP2-binding regulatory module formed by TMs 3-5, which mediate channel activation and desensitization, respectively. PIP2 dissociation from the regulatory module results in ion-conducting pore collapse and subsequent channel desensitization. Our findings thus provide key insights into the mechanistic understanding of TMEM16 channel gating and lipid-dependent regulation.

Abstract
The phosphinositide PtdIns(3)P plays an important role in autophagy; however, the detailed mechanism of its activity remains unclear. Here, we used a Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment (SELEX) screening approach to identify an RNA aptamer of 40 nucleotides that specifically recognizes and binds to intracellular lysosomal PtdIns(3)P. Binding occurs in a magnesium concentration- and pH-dependent manner, and consequently inhibits autophagy as determined by LC3II/I conversion, p62 degradation, formation of LC3 puncta, and lysosomal accumulation of Phafin2. These effects in turn inhibited lysosomal acidification, and the subsequent hydrolytic activity of cathepsin D following induction of autophagy. Given the essential role of PtdIns(3)P as a key targeting molecule for autophagy induction, identification of this novel PtdIns(3)P RNA aptamer provides new opportunities for investigating the biological functions and mechanisms of phosphoinositides.

Abstract
A recent study shows that, upon stretching or wounding, epithelia display a fast proliferative response that allows for re-establishment of optimal cell density or sealing of the wound. This increased proliferation is induced by the stretch-activated channel Piezo1 and involves calcium-triggered ERK signalling.

Abstract
Trimeric intracellular cation (TRIC) channels are thought to provide counter-ion currents that facilitate the active release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores. TRIC activity is controlled by voltage and Ca2+ modulation, but underlying mechanisms have remained unknown. Here we describe high-resolution crystal structures of vertebrate TRIC-A and TRIC-B channels, both in Ca2+-bound and Ca2+-free states, and we analyze conductance properties in structure-inspired mutagenesis experiments. The TRIC channels are symmetric trimers, wherein we find a pore in each protomer that is gated by a highly conserved lysine residue. In the resting state, Ca2+ binding at the luminal surface of TRIC-A, on its threefold axis, stabilizes lysine blockage of the pores. During active Ca2+ release, luminal Ca2+ depletion removes inhibition to permit the lysine-bearing and voltage-sensing helix to move in response to consequent membrane hyperpolarization. Diacylglycerol is found at interprotomer interfaces, suggesting a role in metabolic control.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide (PIP) lipids are anionic phospholipids playing a fundamental role for the activity of several transmembrane and soluble proteins. Among all, phosphoinositol-3',4',5'-trisphosphate (PIP3) is a secondary signaling messenger that regulates the function of proteins involved in cell growth and gene transcription. The present study aims to reveal the structure of PIP-containing lipid membranes, which so far has been little explored. For this purpose, supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) containing 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1'-myo-inositol-3',4',5'-trisphosphate (DOPIP3) and 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) were used as mimics of biomembranes. Surface sensitive techniques, i.e. Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation monitoring (QCM-D), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Neutron Reflectometry (NR), provided detailed information on the formation of the SLB and the location of DOPIP3 in the lipid membrane. Specifically, QCM-D and AFM were used to identify the best condition for lipid deposition and to estimate the total bilayer thickness. On the other hand, NR was used to collect experimental structural data on the DOPIP3 location and orientation within the lipid membrane. The two bilayer leaflets showed the same DOPIP3 concentration, thus suggesting the formation of a symmetric bilayer. The headgroup layer thicknesses of the pure POPC and the mixed POPC/DOPIP3 bilayer suggest that the DOPIP3-headgroups have a preferred orientation, which is not perpendicular to the membrane surface, but instead it is close to the surrounding lipid headgroups. These results support the proposed PIP3 tendency to interact with the other lipid headgroups as PC, so far exclusively suggested by MD simulations.

Abstract
Neuronal Kv7/KCNQ channels are voltage-gated potassium channels composed of Kv7.2/KCNQ2 and Kv7.3/KCNQ3 subunits. Enriched at the axonal membrane, they potently suppress neuronal excitability. De novo and inherited dominant mutations in Kv7.2 cause early onset epileptic encephalopathy characterized by drug resistant seizures and profound psychomotor delay. However, their precise pathogenic mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we investigated selected epileptic encephalopathy causing mutations in calmodulin (CaM)-binding helices A and B of Kv7.2. We discovered that R333W, K526N, and R532W mutations located peripheral to CaM contact sites decreased axonal surface expression of heteromeric channels although only R333W mutation reduced CaM binding to Kv7.2. These mutations also altered gating modulation by phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), revealing novel PIP2 binding residues. While these mutations disrupted Kv7 function to suppress excitability, hyperexcitability was observed in neurons expressing Kv7.2-R532W that displayed severe impairment in voltage-dependent activation. The M518 V mutation at the CaM contact site in helix B caused most defects in Kv7 channels by severely reducing their CaM binding, K+ currents, and axonal surface expression. Interestingly, the M518 V mutation induced ubiquitination and accelerated proteasome-dependent degradation of Kv7.2, whereas the presence of Kv7.3 blocked this degradation. Furthermore, expression of Kv7.2-M518V increased neuronal death. Together, our results demonstrate that epileptic encephalopathy mutations in helices A and B of Kv7.2 cause abnormal Kv7 expression and function by disrupting Kv7.2 binding to CaM and/or modulation by PIP2. We propose that such multiple Kv7 channel defects could exert more severe impacts on neuronal excitability and health, and thus serve as pathogenic mechanisms underlying Kcnq2 epileptic encephalopathy.

Abstract
Brain capillaries play a critical role in sensing neural activity and translating it into dynamic changes in cerebral blood flow to serve the metabolic needs of the brain. The molecular cornerstone of this mechanism is the capillary endothelial cell inward rectifier K+ (Kir2.1) channel, which is activated by neuronal activity-dependent increases in external K+ concentration, producing a propagating hyperpolarizing electrical signal that dilates upstream arterioles. Here, we identify a key regulator of this process, demonstrating that phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) is an intrinsic modulator of capillary Kir2.1-mediated signaling. We further show that PIP2 depletion through activation of Gq protein-coupled receptors (GqPCRs) cripples capillary-to-arteriole signal transduction in vitro and in vivo, highlighting the potential regulatory linkage between GqPCR-dependent and electrical neurovascular-coupling mechanisms. These results collectively show that PIP2 sets the gain of capillary-initiated electrical signaling by modulating Kir2.1 channels. Endothelial PIP2 levels would therefore shape the extent of retrograde signaling and modulate cerebral blood flow.

Abstract
Significance: Ion channels play an important role in the regulation of organelle function within the cell, as proven by increasing evidence pointing to a link between altered function of intracellular ion channels and different pathologies ranging from cancer to neurodegenerative diseases, ischemic damage, and lysosomal storage diseases. Recent Advances: A link between these pathologies and redox state as well as lipid homeostasis and ion channel function is in the focus of current research. Critical Issues: Ion channels are target of modulation by lipids and lipid messengers, although in most cases the mechanistic details have not been clarified yet. Ion channel function importantly impacts production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), especially in the case of mitochondria and lysosomes. ROS, in turn, may modulate the function of intracellular channels triggering thereby a feedback control under physiological conditions. If produced in excess, ROS can be harmful to lipids and may produce oxidized forms of these membrane constituents that ultimately affect ion channel function by triggering a "circulus vitiosus." Future Directions: The present review summarizes our current knowledge about the contribution of intracellular channels to oxidative stress and gives examples of how these channels are modulated by lipids and how this modulation may affect ROS production in ROS-related diseases. Future studies need to address the importance of the regulation of intracellular ion channels and related oxidative stress by lipids in various physiological and pathological contexts. Antioxid.

Abstract
Kv7 (KCNQ) voltage-gated potassium channels control excitability in the brain, heart, and ear. Calmodulin (CaM) is crucial for Kv7 function, but how this calcium sensor affects activity has remained unclear. Here, we present X-ray crystallographic analysis of CaM:Kv7.4 and CaM:Kv7.5 AB domain complexes that reveal an Apo/CaM clamp conformation and calcium binding preferences. These structures, combined with small-angle X-ray scattering, biochemical, and functional studies, establish a regulatory mechanism for Kv7 CaM modulation based on a common architecture in which a CaM C-lobe calcium-dependent switch releases a shared Apo/CaM clamp conformation. This C-lobe switch inhibits voltage-dependent activation of Kv7.4 and Kv7.5 but facilitates Kv7.1, demonstrating that mechanism is shared by Kv7 isoforms despite the different directions of CaM modulation. Our findings provide a unified framework for understanding how CaM controls different Kv7 isoforms and highlight the role of membrane proximal domains for controlling voltage-gated channel function.

Abstract
TMEM16F, which is activated by elevation of intracellular calcium to trigger phospholipid scrambling and the collapse of lipid bilayer asymmetry to mediate important cellular functions such as blood coagulation, also generates a small-conductance calcium-activated cation current. How TMEM16F activation may be regulated is an open question. By recording TMEM16F Ca2+-activated current, we found that the TMEM16F Ca2+-response is desensitized by a brief exposure to high intracellular Ca2+, which is associated with depletion of phosphatidylinositol-(4, 5)-bisphosphate (PIP2) from the inner leaflet of the membrane. Application of artificial or natural PIP2 restores TMEM16F channel activity. PIP2 modulation of TMEM16F requires the presence of several positively charged amino acids in its cytoplasmic N-terminal domain. TMEM16F interaction with PIP2 works synergistically with membrane depolarization to facilitate Ca2+-gating of TMEM16F. Our study reveals the dependence of TMEM16F activity on phosphoinositides and provides one mechanism for TMEM16F activation to be strictly regulated in the cell membrane.

Abstract
The excitable behaviour of neurons is determined by the activity of their endogenous membrane ion channels. Since muscarinic receptors are not themselves ion channels, the acute effects of muscarinic receptor stimulation on neuronal function are governed by the effects of the receptors on these endogenous neuronal ion channels. This review considers some principles and factors determining the interaction between subtypes and classes of muscarinic receptors with neuronal ion channels, and summarizes the effects of muscarinic receptor stimulation on a number of different channels, the mechanisms of receptor - channel transduction and their direct consequences for neuronal activity. Ion channels considered include potassium channels (voltage-gated, inward rectifier and calcium activated), voltage-gated calcium channels, cation channels and chloride channels. This article is part of the Special Issue entitled 'Neuropharmacology on Muscarinic Receptors'.

Abstract
In the heart, co-assembly of Kv7.1 with KCNE1 produces the slow IKS potassium current, which repolarizes the cardiac action potential and mutations in human Kv7.1 and KCNE1 genes cause cardiac arrhythmias. The proximal Kv7.1 C-terminus binds calmodulin (CaM) and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) and recently we revealed the competition of PIP2 with the calcified CaM N-lobe to a previously unidentified site in Kv7.1 helix B, also known to harbor a LQT mutation. Data indicated that PIP2 and Ca2+-CaM perform the same function on IKS channel gating to stabilize the channel open state. Here we show that similar features were observed for Kv7.1 currents expressed alone. We also find that conservation of homologous residues in helix B of other Kv7 subtypes confer similar competition of Ca2+-CaM with PIP2 binding to their proximal C-termini and suggest that PIP2-CaM interactions converge to Kv7 helix B to modulates channel activity in a Kv7 subtype-dependent manner.

Abstract
KATP channels act as key regulators of electrical excitability by coupling metabolic cues—mainly intracellular adenine nucleotide concentrations—to cellular potassium ion efflux. However, their study has been hindered by their rapid loss of activity in excised membrane patches (rundown), and by a second phenomenon, the decline of activation by Mg-nucleotides (DAMN). Degradation of PI(4,5)P2 and other phosphoinositides is the strongest candidate for the molecular cause of rundown. Broad evidence indicates that most other determinants of rundown (e.g. phosphorylation, intracellular calcium, channel mutations that affect rundown) also act by influencing KATP channel regulation by phosphoinositides. Unfortunately, experimental conditions that reproducibly prevent rundown have remained elusive, necessitating post hoc data compensation. Rundown is clearly distinct from DAMN. While the former is associated with pore-forming Kir6.2 subunits, DAMN is generally a slower process involving the regulatory sulfonylurea receptor (SUR) subunits. We speculate that it arises when SUR subunits enter non-physiological conformational states associated with the loss of SUR nucleotide-binding domain dimerization following prolonged exposure to nucleotide-free conditions. This review presents new information on both rundown and DAMN, summarizes our current understanding of these processes and considers their physiological roles. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Evolution brings Ca2+ and ATP together to control life and death’.

Phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate dynamically regulates the K 2P background K + channel TASK-2. Sci Rep 2017; 7:45407. [PMID: 28358046 PMCID: PMC5371824 DOI: 10.1038/srep45407] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2016] [Accepted: 02/23/2017] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Two-pore domain K2P K+ channels responsible for the background K+ conductance and the resting membrane potential, are also finely regulated by a variety of chemical, physical and physiological stimuli. Hormones and transmitters acting through Gq protein-coupled receptors (GqPCRs) modulate the activity of various K2P channels but the signalling involved has remained elusive, in particular whether dynamic regulation by membrane PI(4,5)P2, common among other classes of K+ channels, affects K2P channels is controversial. Here we show that K2P K+ channel TASK-2 requires PI(4,5)P2 for activity, a dependence that accounts for its run down in the absence of intracellular ATP and its full recovery by addition of exogenous PI(4,5)P2, its inhibition by low concentrations of polycation PI scavengers, and inhibition by PI(4,5)P2 depletion from the membrane. Comprehensive mutagenesis suggests that PI(4,5)P2 interaction with TASK-2 takes place at C-terminus where three basic aminoacids are identified as being part of a putative binding site.
