A 240 K protein represents the complete subunit of the cyclic nucleotide-gated channel from rod photoreceptor. of outstanding interest Neuron. 15:1995;627-636 The authors used biochemical analysis, molecular cloning and functional expression to identify a 240 kDa protein as the complete β subunit of the rod CNG channel. This subunit is shown to consist of a β′ part, which is homologous to subunit 2 of the human rod channel [9], and a glutamic-acid-rich domain related to a previously cloned protein of unknown function [24]. The β′ part contains the binding site for calmodulin and when co-expressed with the α subunit forms a hetero-oligomeric channel with molecular and electrophysiological properties similar to the native rod CNG channel (see also [9,22]). The function of the glutamic-acid-rich part is currently unknown.

Molecular mechanism for ligand discrimination of cyclic nucleotide-gated channels. of outstanding interest Neuron. 15:1995;619-625 Using site-directed mutagenesis, the authors identify aspartic acid residue Asp604 within the cyclic-nucleotide-binding site of the rod channel as the main determinant responsible for the high degree of selectivity of the rod channel for cGMP. They proposes a model based on the known X-ray crystallographic structure of the CAP protein, in which aspartic acid Asp604 forms a pair of hydrogen bonds with the nitrogens of the guanine ring of cGMP, thereby facilitating the allosteric transition of the channel to its open state.
28. Karpen JW, Brown RL. Covalent activation of retinal rod cGMP-gated channels reveals a functional heterogeneity in the ligand binding sites. of outstanding interest J Gen Physiol. 107:1996;169-181 The cGMP photoaffinity analogue 8-p-azidophenacylthio-cGMP is used to irreversibly label all but one cGMP-binding site on the rod CNG channel in excised patches. Dose-response curves reveal the presence of two populations of sites differing in their apparent affinity for cGMP by a factor of ~ 25. This heterogeneity appears to result at least in part from sequence differences in the cGMP-binding site for the α and β subunits. This method should prove to be valuable for future studies of channel modulation by calmodulin or other mechanism at the level of individual cGMP-binding sites.

Exposure of residues in the cyclic nucleotide-gated channel pore: P region structure and function in gating. of outstanding interest Neuron. 16:1996;141-149 The accessibility of cysteine residues substituted at various sites within the pore region of the rod CNG channel has been investigated by applying charged sulfhydryl reagents to the inside and outside of membrane patches. On the basis of these results, the authors have suggested that the pore region of each subunit consists of a loop that extends toward the central axis of the channel and, together with the pore regions of the other subunits, forms the ion selectivity filter and gate of the channel. Structural changes in the channel gate occur as the channel is converted from its closed state to its open state.
