Involvement of Histidine Residues in Proton Sensing of ROMK1 Channel

Abstract

ROMK channels are inhibited by intracellular acidification. This pH sensitivity is related to several amino acid residues in the channel proteins such as Lys-61, Thr-51, and His-206 (in ROMK2). Unlike all other amino acids, histidine is titratable at pH 6–7 carrying a positive charge below pH 6. To test the hypothesis that certain histidine residues are engaged in CO2 and pH sensing of ROMK1, by of all histidine residues in the channel the are histidine residues in the of channel sensitivity to histidine residues are in the and in CO2 and pH of of CO2 and pH by and pH of all of the CO2 sensitivity and channel to to of of in CO2 and pH sensing is of a positive amino acid that histidine residues to the sensitivity of the channel to and intracellular ROMK channels are inhibited by intracellular acidification. This pH sensitivity is related to several amino acid residues in the channel proteins such as Lys-61, Thr-51, and His-206 (in ROMK2). Unlike all other amino acids, histidine is titratable at pH 6–7 carrying a positive charge below pH 6. To test the hypothesis that certain histidine residues are engaged in CO2 and pH sensing of ROMK1, by of all histidine residues in the channel the are histidine residues in the of channel sensitivity
