Abstract
BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is a ubiquitous pathogen in the human population that is asymptomatic in healthy individuals, but can be life-threatening in those undergoing kidney transplant. To-date, no vaccines or anti-viral therapies are available to treat human BKPyV infections. New therapeutic strategies are urgently required. In this study, using a rational pharmacological screening regimen of known ion channel modulating compounds, we show that BKPyV requires cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) activity to infect primary renal proximal tubular epithelial cells. Disrupting CFTR function through treatment with the clinically available drug glibenclamide, the CFTR inhibitor CFTR172, or CFTR-silencing, all reduced BKPyV infection. Specifically, time of addition assays and the assessment of the exposure of VP2/VP3 minor capsid proteins indicated a role for CFTR during BKPyV transport to the endoplasmic reticulum, an essential step during the early stages of BKPyV infection. We thus establish CFTR as an important host-factor in the BKPyV life cycle and reveal CFTR modulators as potential anti-BKPyV therapies. BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is life-threatening in those undergoing kidney transplant. BKPyV requires CFTR to infect primary kidney cells. Disrupting CFTR function pharmacologically reduces BKPyV infection. CFTR is required during BKPyV transport to the endoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract
Neuronal M-type K(+) channels are heteromers of KCNQ2 and KCNQ3 subunits, and are found in cell bodies, dendrites and the axon initial segment, regulating the firing properties of neurons. By contrast, presynaptic KCNQ2 homomeric channels directly regulate neurotransmitter release. Previously, we have described a mechanism for gating downregulation of KCNQ2 homomeric channels by calmodulin and syntaxin1A. Here, we describe a new mechanism for regulation of KCNQ2 channel gating that is modulated by Src, a non-receptor tyrosine kinase. In this mechanism, two concurrent distinct structural rearrangements of the cytosolic termini induce two opposing effects: upregulation of the single-channel open probability, mediated by an N-terminal tyrosine, and reduction in functional channels, mediated by a C-terminal tyrosine. In contrast, Src-mediated regulation of KCNQ3 homomeric channels, shown previously to be achieved through the corresponding tyrosine residues, involves the N-terminal-tyrosine-mediated downregulation of the open probability, rather than an upregulation. We argue that the dual bidirectional regulation of KCNQ2 functionality by Src, mediated through two separate sites, means that KCNQ2 can be modified by cellular factors that might specifically interact with either one of the sites, with potential significance in the fine-tuning of neurotransmitters release at nerve terminals.

Abstract
K(ATP) channels link cell metabolism to excitability in many cells. They are formed as tetramers of Kir6.2 subunits, each associated with a SUR1 subunit. We used mutant GFP-based FRET to assess domain organization in channel complexes. Full-length Kir6.2 subunits were linked to YFP or cyan fluorescent protein (CFP) at N or C termini, and all such constructs, including double-tagged YFP-Kir6.2-CFP (Y6.2C), formed functional K(ATP) channels. In intact COSm6 cells, background emission of YFP excited by 430-nm light was ∼6%, but the Y6.2C construct expressed alone exhibited an apparent FRET efficiency of ∼25%, confirmed by trypsin digestion, with or without SUR1 co-expression. Similar FRET efficiency was detected in mixtures of CFP- and YFP-tagged full-length Kir6.2 subunits and transmembrane domain only constructs, when tagged at the C termini but not at the N termini. The FRET-reported Kir6.2 tetramer domain organization was qualitatively consistent with Kir channel crystal structures: C termini and M2 domains are centrally located relative to N termini and M1 domains, respectively. Additional FRET analyses were performed on cells in which tagged full-length Kir6.2 and tagged SUR1 constructs were co-expressed. These analyses further revealed that 1) NBD1 of SUR1 is closer to the C terminus of Kir6.2 than to the N terminus; 2) the Kir6.2 cytoplasmic domain is not essential for complexation with SUR1; and 3) the N-terminal half of SUR1 can complex with itself in the absence of either the C-terminal half or Kir6.2.

Abstract
Whereas neuronal M-type K(+) channels composed of KCNQ2 and KCNQ3 subunits regulate firing properties of neurons, presynaptic KCNQ2 subunits were demonstrated to regulate neurotransmitter release by directly influencing presynaptic function. Two interaction partners of M-channels, syntaxin 1A and calmodulin, are known to act presynaptically, syntaxin serving as a major protein component of the membrane fusion machinery and calmodulin serving as regulator of several processes related to neurotransmitter release. Notably, both partners specifically modulate KCNQ2 but not KCNQ3 subunits, suggesting selective presynaptic targeting to directly regulate exocytosis without interference in neuronal firing properties. Here, having first demonstrated in Xenopus oocytes, using analysis of single-channel biophysics, that both modulators downregulate the open probability of KCNQ2 but not KCNQ3 homomers, we sought to resolve the channel structural determinants that confer the isoform-specific gating downregulation and to get insights into the molecular events underlying this mechanism. We show, using optical, biochemical, electrophysiological, and molecular biology analyses, the existence of constitutive interactions between the N and C termini in homomeric KCNQ2 and KCNQ3 channels in living cells. Furthermore, rearrangement in the relative orientation of the KCNQ2 termini that accompanies reduction in single-channel open probability is induced by both regulators, strongly suggesting that closer N-C termini proximity underlies gating downregulation. Different structural determinants, identified at the N and C termini of KCNQ3, prevent the effects by syntaxin 1A and calmodulin, respectively. Moreover, we show that the syntaxin 1A and calmodulin effects can be additive or blocked at different concentration ranges of calmodulin, bearing physiological significance with regard to presynaptic exocytosis.

Abstract
The human leukocyte adhesion-G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), the epidermal growth factor (EGF)-TM7 proteins, are shown here to function as homo- and hetero-oligomers. Using cell surface cross-linking, co-immunoprecipitation, and fluorescence resonance energy transfer analysis of EMR2, an EGF-TM7 receptor predominantly expressed in myeloid cells, we demonstrate that it forms dimers in a reaction mediated exclusively by the TM7 moiety. We have also identified a naturally occurring but structurally unstable EMR2 splice variant that acts as a dominant negative modulator by dimerizing with the wild type receptor and down-regulating its expression. Additionally, heterodimerization between closely related EGF-TM7 members is shown to result in the modulation of expression and ligand binding properties of the receptors. These findings suggest that receptor homo- and hetero-oligomerization play a regulatory role in modulating the expression and function of leukocyte adhesion-GPCRs.

Abstract
The subfamily of G-protein-linked inwardly rectifying potassium channels (GIRKs) is coupled to G-protein receptors throughout the CNS and in the heart. We used mutational analysis to address the role of a specific hydrophobic region of the GIRK1 subunit. Deletion of the GIRK1 C-terminal residues 330-384, as well as the point mutation I331R, resulted in a decrease in channel function when coexpressed with GIRK4 in oocytes and in COS-7 cells. Surface protein expression of GIRK1 I331R coexpressed with GIRK4 was comparable with wild type, indicating that subunits assemble and are correctly localized to the membrane. Subsequent mutation of homologous residues in both the GIRK4 subunit and Kir2.1 (Gbetagamma-independent inward rectifier) also resulted in a decrease in channel function. Intracellular domain associations resulted in the coimmunoprecipitation of the GIRK1 N and C termini and GIRK4 N and C termini. The point mutation I331R in the GIRK1 C terminus or L337R in the GIRK4 C terminus decreased the association between the N and C termini. Mutation of a GIRK1 N-terminal hydrophobic residue, predicted structurally to interact with the C-terminal domain, also resulted in a decrease in channel function and termini association. We hypothesize that the hydrophobic nature of this GIRK1 subunit region is critical for interaction between adjacent termini and is permissive for channel gating. In addition, the homologous mutation in cytoplasmic domains of Kir2.1 (L330R) did not disrupt association, suggesting that the overall structural integrity of this region is critical for inward rectifier function.

Abstract
ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channels play important roles in the regulation of membrane excitability in many cell types. ATP inhibits channel activity by binding to a specific site formed by the N and C termini of the pore-forming subunit, Kir6.2, but the structural changes associated with this interaction remain unclear. Here, we use fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to study the ATP-dependent interaction between the N and C termini of Kir6.2 using a construct bearing fused cyan and yellow fluorescent proteins (ECFP-Kir6.2-EYFP). When expressed in human embryonic kidney cells, ECFP-Kir6.2-EYFP/SUR1 channels displayed FRET that was augmented by agonist stimulation and diminished by metabolic poisoning. Addition of ATP to permeabilized cells or isolated plasma membrane sheets increased FRET. FRET changes were abolished by Kir6.2 mutations that altered ATP-dependent channel closure and channel gating. In the wild-type channel, the ATP concentrations, which increased FRET (EC(50) = 1.36 mM), were significantly higher than those causing channel inhibition (IC(50) = 0.29 mM). Demonstrating the existence of intermolecular interactions, a dimeric construct comprising two molecules of Kir6.2 linked head-to-tail (ECFP-Kir6.2-Kir6.2-EYFP) displayed less FRET than the monomer in the absence of nucleotide but still exhibited ATP-dependent FRET increases (EC(50) = 1.52 mM) and channel inhibition. We conclude that binding of ATP to Kir6.2, (i). alters the interaction between the N- and C-terminal domains, (ii). probably involves both intrasubunit and intersubunit interactions, (iii). reflects ligand binding not channel gating, and (iv). occurs in intact cells when subplasmalemmal [ATP] changes in the millimolar range.

Abstract
Heteromultimerization between different potassium channel subunits can generate channels with novel functional properties and thus contributes to the rich functional diversity of this gene family. The inwardly rectifying potassium channel subunit Kir5.1 exhibits highly selective heteromultimerization with Kir4.1 to generate heteromeric Kir4.1/Kir5.1 channels with unique rectification and kinetic properties. These novel channels are also inhibited by intracellular pH within the physiological range and are thought to play a key role in linking K+ and H+ homeostasis by the kidney. However, the mechanisms that control heteromeric K+ channel assembly and the structural elements that generate their unique functional properties are poorly understood. In this study we identify residues at an intersubunit interface between the cytoplasmic domains of Kir5.1 and Kir4.1 that influence the novel rectification and gating properties of heteromeric Kir4.1/Kir5.1 channels and that also contribute to their pH sensitivity. Furthermore, this interaction presents a structural mechanism for the functional coupling of these properties and explains how specific heteromeric interactions can contribute to the novel functional properties observed in heteromeric Kir channels. The highly conserved nature of this structural association between Kir subunits also has implications for understanding the general mechanisms of Kir channel gating and their regulation by intracellular pH.
