摘要
Tertiapin-Q (TPNQ) is a derivative of honey bee toxin tertiapin (TPN) whose methionine residue is replaced with a glutamine residue. TPNQ inhibits the ROMK1 and GIRK1/4 inward-rectifier K+ channels with affinities very similar to TPN. However, unlike native TPN, TPNQ is nonoxidizable by air. The stability of TPNQ allows us to investigate how it interacts with the targeted channels. We found that the interaction between TPNQ and the ROMK1 channel is a bimolecular reaction, i.e., one TPNQ molecule binds to one channel. The interaction surface in TPNQ is primarily formed by its alpha helix rather than the beta sheets with which scorpion toxins form their interaction surface. The mutagenesis studies on both the channel and TPNQ together strongly suggest that to block the K+ pore TPNQ plugs its alpha helix into the vestibule of the K+ pore, while leaving the extended structural portion sticking out of the Vestibule into the extracellular media.
