Abstract

Anoctamin 6/TMEM16F (ANO6) is a dual-function protein with Ca-activated ion channel and Ca-activated phospholipid scramblase activities, requiring a high intracellular Ca concentration (e.g., half-maximal effective Ca concentration [EC] of [Ca]i > 10 μM), and strong and sustained depolarization above 0 mV. Structural comparison with Anoctamin 1/TMEM16A (ANO1), a canonical Ca- activated chloride channel exhibiting higher Ca sensitivity (EC of 1 μM) than ANO6, suggested that a homologous Ca-transferring site in the N-terminal domain (Nt) might be responsible for the differential Ca sensitivity and kinetics of activation between ANO6 and ANO1. To elucidate the role of the putative Ca-transferring reservoir in the Nt (Nt-CaRes), we constructed an ANO6-1-6 chimera in which Nt-CaRes was replaced with the corresponding domain of ANO1. ANO6- 1-6 showed higher sensitivity to Ca than ANO6. However, neither the speed of activation nor the voltage-dependence differed between ANO6 and ANO6-1-6. Molecular dynamics simulation revealed a reduced Ca interaction with Nt- CaRes in ANO6 than ANO6-1-6. Moreover, mutations on potentially Ca-interacting acidic amino acids in ANO6 Nt- CaRes resulted in reduced Ca sensitivity, implying direct interactions of Ca with these residues. Based on these results, we cautiously suggest that the net charge of Nt- CaRes is responsible for the difference in Ca sensitivity between ANO1 and ANO6.
