"Our data demonstrate that BK channel inhibition by cholesterol and related analogues strictly depends on the beta 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."

"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."

"In artificial lipid bilayers, where the cholesterol molar fraction can be tightly controlled, it has been shown that cholesterol at concentrations that match those in native plasma membranes (33 mol%) decreases channel open probability (Po) and unitary current amplitude of homotetrameric slo1 channels [23,24]."

"Based on the antagonistic effects of cholesterol actions on slo1 channels in cell-free environments vs. native BK channels in intact SM cells, if cholesterol inhibition of slo1 channels persists in their native MCA SM counterparts, we hypothesize that cholesterol enrichment of SM cells from KCNMA1Y450F animals would potentiate BK currents to a degree higher than that reported in native channels from WT mice."

"Our focus on slo1 Y450 is based on previous data from binary phosphoglyceride bilayers showing that cholesterol at concentrations that match those in native plasma membranes (33 mol%) decreases both the channel-open probability (Po) and unitary current amplitude of homotetrameric slo1 channels [23,24,39], with this reduction in Po being significantly ablated by the Y450F substitution [24]."

"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)."

"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)."
reach
"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."

"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."

"Because the maintenance of caveolae depends on not only caveolin-1 and associated proteins but also on free CLR levels in the membrane ( xref ; xref ), the modification of BK current by CLR-depleting treatment can be explained by the loss of direct BK channel inhibition by CLR (Sections 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 ), and/or by alteration of local raft organization with disruption of interactions between BK and raft components, caveolin-1 in particular."
