Popis: | Mutations of human BEST1, encoding a Ca2+-activated Cl− channel (hBest1), cause macular degenerative disorders. Best1 homolog structures reveal an evolutionarily conserved channel architecture highlighted by two landmark restrictions (named the “neck” and “aperture”, respectively) in the ion conducting pathway, suggesting a unique dual-switch gating mechanism, which, however, has not been characterized well. Using patch clamp and crystallography, we demonstrate that both the neck and aperture in hBest1 are Ca2+-dependent gates essential for preventing channel leakage resulting from Ca2+-independent, spontaneous gate opening. Importantly, three patient-derived mutations (D203A, I205T and Y236C) lead to Ca2+-independent leakage and elevated Ca2+-dependent anion currents due to enhanced opening of the gates. Moreover, we identify a network of residues critically involved in gate operation. Together, our results suggest an indispensable role of the neck and aperture of hBest1 for channel gating, and uncover disease-causing mechanisms of hBest1 gain-of-function mutations. Ji and Kittredge et al. demonstrate that the neck and aperture of human Bestrophin1, a Ca2+-activated Cl- channel, are both Ca2+-dependent gates. By showing hyper-activity of Bestrophin1, which is associated with its enhanced gate opening in the presence of three patient-derived mutations, this study provides mechanistic insights into the gain-of-function mutations that cause macular degenerative disease. |
