"Our data demonstrate that BK channel inhibition by cholesterol and related analogues strictly depends on the β configuration of the sterol C3 hydroxyl and is facilitated by the hydrophobic nature of the side chain, while having rather lax structural requirements on the A/B ring fusion within the hydrophobic steroid ring system."

"Two major findings from our study point to the involvement of a specific sterol recognition protein site (s) in cholesterol inhibition of BK channel activity : first, the beta configuration of the C3 hydroxyl is necessary for channel inhibition, as cholesterol is effective and its C3 alpha epimer (epicholesterol) is not."

"Significance Statement Results reveal that the widely reported inhibition of BK (slo1) channels by membrane cholesterol requires a physiologically range of internal Ca 2+ and is selectively linked to the two high-affinity Ca 2+ -sensing sites located in the cytosolic tail domain of slo1 proteins, which underscores that Ca 2+ and cholesterol actions are allosterically coupled to the channel gate."

"This artificial addition of cholesterol led to the predicted increase in infected erythrocyte SLO lysis, closely mimicking the reduced SLO lytic discrimination observed upon immediate acquisition of clinical samples from patients (47.5% lysis and 47.8% lysis in clinical ex vivo and cholesterol supplemented in vitro samples, respectively, when treated with ~30U SLO; Fig. 6, black circles)."

"Streptococcal strains expressing significant SLO activity at their saturating amounts required 40min to carry out complete hemolysis, whereas, after inhibition of SLO by cholesterol containing liposomes, the remaining SLS activity developed much slower, requiring 80-160min to reach its full extent."
reach
"The alpha subunit contains several conserved cholesterol recognition amino acid consensus (CRAC) motifs that may constitute the binding sites by which cholesterol inhibits BK channel activity in the absence of beta subunits, while the beta subunits also contain two CRAC motifs (32)."
