摘要:Transmembrane 16A (TMEM16A, anoctamin1), 1 of 10 TMEM16 family proteins, is a Cl − channel activated by intracellular Ca 2 and membrane voltage. This channel is also regulated by the membrane phospholipid phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P 2 ]. We find that two splice variants of TMEM16A show different sensitivity to endogenous PI(4,5)P 2 degradation, where TMEM16A(ac) displays higher channel activity and more current inhibition by PI(4,5)P 2 depletion than TMEM16A(a). These two channel isoforms differ in the alternative splicing of the c-segment (exon 13). The current amplitude and PI(4,5)P 2 sensitivity of both TMEM16A(ac) and (a) are significantly strengthened by decreased free cytosolic ATP and by conditions that decrease phosphorylation by Ca 2 /calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII). Noise analysis suggests that the augmentation of currents is due to a rise of single-channel current ( i ), but not of channel number ( N ) or open probability ( P O ). Mutagenesis points to arginine 486 in the first intracellular loop as a putative binding site for PI(4,5)P 2 , and to serine 673 in the third intracellular loop as a site for regulatory channel phosphorylation that modulates the action of PI(4,5)P 2 . In silico simulation suggests how phosphorylation of S673 allosterically and differently changes the structure of the distant PI(4,5)P 2 -binding site between channel splice variants with and without the c-segment exon. In sum, our study reveals the following: differential regulation of alternatively spliced TMEM16A(ac) and (a) by plasma membrane PI(4,5)P 2 , modification of these effects by channel phosphorylation, identification of the molecular sites, and mechanistic explanation by in silico simulation.
