Short-chain mono-carboxylates as negative modulators of allosteric transitions in Gloeobacter violaceus ligand-gated ion channel, and impact of a pre-β5 strand (Loop Ω) double mutation on crotonate, not butyrate effect.

Abstract excerpt

Using the bacterial proton-activated pentameric receptor-channel Gloeobacter violaceus ligand-gated ion channel (GLIC): (1) We characterize saturated, mono-carboxylates as negative modulators of GLIC (as previously shown for crotonate; Alqazzaz et al., Biochemistry, 2016, 55, 5947). Butyrate and crotonate have indistinguishable properties regarding negative modulation of wt GLIC. (2) We identify a locus in the...
