Self-directed assembly and clustering of the cytoplasmic domains of inwardly rectifying Kir2.1 potassium channels on association with PSD-95
Copyright policy )Self-directed assembly and clustering of the cytoplasmic domains of inwardly rectifying Kir2.1 potassium channels on association with PSD-95
The interaction of the extra-membranous domain of tetrameric inwardly rectifying Kir2.1 ion channels (Kir2.1NC(4)) with the membrane associated guanylate kinase protein PSD-95 has been studied using Transmission Electron Microscopy in negative stain. Three types of complexes were observed in electron micrographs corresponding to a 1:1 complex, a large self-enclosed tetrad complex and extended chains of linked channel domains. Using models derived from small angle X-ray scattering experiments in which high resolution structures from X-ray crystallographic and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance studies are positioned, the envelopes from single particle analysis can be resolved as a Kir2.1NC(4):PSD-95 complex and a tetrad of this unit (Kir2.1NC(4):PSD-95)(4). The tetrad complex shows the close association of the Kir2.1 cytoplasmic domains and the influence of PSD-95 mediated self-assembly on the clustering of these channels.
