Abstract：
:The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator forms an anion-selective channel. We previously showed that charge selectivity, the ability to discriminate between anions and cations, occurs near the cytoplasmic end of the channel. The molecular determinants of charge selectivity, however, are unknown. We investigated the role of Arg352, a residue flanking the predicted cytoplasmic end of the M6 segment, in the mechanism of charge selectivity. We determined the Cl- to Na+ permeability ratio (PCl/PNa) from the reversal potential measured in a 10-fold NaCl gradient. For the wild type, PCl/PNa was 36 (range of 28-51). For the R352H mutant, PCl/PNa was dependent on cytoplasmic pH. At pH 5.4, the PCl/PNa was 33 (range of 27-41), similar to that of the wild type, but at pH 7.2, where the histidine should be largely uncharged, PCl/PNa was 3 (range of 2.9-3.1). For the R352C and R352Q mutants, PCl/PNa was 7 (range of 6-8) and 4 (range of 3.5-4.4), respectively. Furthermore, Na+ which does not carry a significant fraction of the current through the wild type is measurably conducted through R352Q. Thus, the charge of the side chain at position 352 is a strong determinant of charge selectivity. In the wild type, the positive charge on Arg352 contributes to an electrostatic potential in the channel that forms a barrier to cation permeation. Mutation of Arg352 did not alter the halide selectivity sequence. Selectivity among halides must involve other residues.
