"First, the structure alignment of KCNQ2-CaM apo and KCNQ2-CaM CBD shows that the CBD induces a 2–3 Å shift of VSD, which tends to disturb interactions of VSD and CaM (Fig.  xref )."

"Since A-kinase-anchoring protein (AKAP) 79 XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR regulates CaM binding to KCNQ2 XREF_BIBR and serves as an adaptor protein for CaM and PKC XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR, the mechanism responsible for CaM mediated trafficking of KCNQ channels to the axonal surface may well converge with the ability of CaM to modulate PKC dependent inhibition of M-current via AKAP79/150 XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR and PIP 2 XREF_BIBR."

"To reveal the HN37 activation mechanism, we determined two KCNQ2-CaM structures in the presence of both HN37 and PIP 2 , one with HN37 added to the protein sample first (KCNQ2-CaM HN37-PIP2(-) , Table  xref , Supplementary Fig.  xref ) and the other one with PIP 2 added first (KCNQ2-CaM PIP2-HN37 , Table  xref , Supplementary Fig.  xref )."

sparser
"In the map of KCNQ2-CaM HN37-PIP2(-) , no PIP 2 molecule was assigned, and consequently, the KCNQ2-CaM HN37-PIP2(-) structure is in a closed state with two HN37 bound (Supplementary Fig.  xref ), similar to the KCNQ2-CaM HN37 structure (Fig.  xref )."

"In KCNQ2-CaM PIP2-HN37 , PIP 2 binds in the cleft between VSD and PD and directly interacts with Lys327 in S6 (Fig.  xref ), similar to the observations in KCNQ2-CaM CBD-PIP2 (Fig.  xref ) ."

reach
"In combination, the experiments presented in Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5 suggest that impairing CaM binding to Kv7.2 reduces the number of functional channels at the plasma membrane, but the functional channels that did reach plasma membrane are likely to still bind CaM, as suggested previously (41)."

sparser
"To analyze why HN37 B does not bind in the structure of KCNQ2-CaM PIP2-HN37 , we compare structures of KCNQ2-CaM PIP2-HN37 and KCNQ2-CaM HN37 (Fig.  xref )."

"Calmodulin bound to the KCNQ2 subunit regulates channel trafficking and stabilizes channel activity."

sparser
"Here we show that the L339R mutation in helix A, which is linked to human benign neonatal convulsions, perturbs CaM binding to KCNQ2 channels and prevents their correct trafficking to the plasma membrane."

sparser
"The process appears to require at least two steps; the first involves the transient association of CaM with KCNQ2, and in the second, the complex adopts an "active" conformation that is more stable and is that which confers the capacity to exit the endoplasmic reticulum."

sparser
"These data are entirely consistent with the concept that CaM bound to KCNQ2 acts as a Ca2+ sensor, conferring Ca2+ dependence to the trafficking of the channel to the plasma membrane and fully explaining the requirement of CaM binding for KCNQ2 function."

"First, we introduced two mutations within the IQ domain of KCNQ3 : an isoleucine to alanine substitution at the position 342 (KCNQ3-I342A); and an alanine substitution of the residues 346 to 349 (KCNQ[MISSING/INVALID CREDENTIALS: limited to 200 char for Elsevier]"

"Here we report cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of human KCNQ2-CaM in complex with three activators, namely the antiepileptic drug cannabidiol (CBD), the lipid phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP 2 ), and HN37 (pynegabine), an antiepileptic drug in the clinical trial, in an either closed or open conformation."

sparser
"Here authors report structures of KCNQ2-CaM in complex with cannabidiol, PIP2, and HN37 and elucidate the mechanisms of activation."

sparser
"Previously, we determined the apo KCNQ2-CaM structure (KCNQ2-CaM apo , PDB: 7CR3) xref , which was in decoupled conformation with activated VSDs and a closed gate."

sparser
"Because PIP 2 can potentiate the activation of KCNQ channels by enhancing the E–M coupling, to capture an open-state KCNQ2, we solved the structure of the KCNQ2-CaM complex in the presence of 1 mM PIP 2 (KCNQ2-CaM PIP2(-) , where (-) indicates that PIP 2 was added in the protein sample but not observed in the structure throughout this paper) at 2.7 Å resolution (Supplementary Fig.  xref , Table  xref )."

sparser
"The KCNQ2-CaM PIP2(-) structure is similar to the KCNQ2-CaM apo structure, with activated VSDs and a closed gate xref ."

sparser
"To reveal the molecular mechanism of CBD activation on KCNQ2-CaM, we next determined the CBD-bound KCNQ2-CaM structure (KCNQ2-CaM CBD ) at 3.3 Å resolution (Fig.  xref , Table  xref , Supplementary Figs.  xref – xref , xref )."

sparser
"In the TMD, the high-quality map of KCNQ2-CaM CBD allows us to clearly resolve two CBD molecules located in the hydrophobic cleft formed by S6 from the first subunit (S6 I ), S5, pore helix (PH), and S6 from the second subunit (S5 II , PH II , and S6 II ), and S1 from the third subunit (S1 III ) (Fig.  xref )."

sparser
"Structural comparison of KCNQ2-CaM CBD and KCNQ2-CaM apo reveals that the two CBDs induce a rotamer change of Trp236 in S5 II , which eliminates the potential clash with CBD A on one hand and facilitates the formation of a hydrogen bond with CBD B on the other hand (Fig.  xref )."

sparser
"Like those in KCNQ2-CaM CBD , two CBD molecules are clearly observed in the map of KCNQ2-CaM CBD-PIP2 (Fig.  xref )."

reach
"The second group found that both wt CaM and DN CaM interact with KCNQ2, consistent with our results that DN CaM can act as a dominant negative in CaM actions."

"HB which sits on the right side of HA in KCNQ2-CaM apo moves to the left side of HA in KCNQ2-CaM CBD-PIP2 (Fig.  xref )."

reach
"Given the importance that both groups ascribed to both of these regions for CaM binding to KCNQ2 subunits, we were surprised to find in the current work that IQ 2, but not IQ 1, produced a Ca 2+ -dependent gel shift of CaM."

sparser
"Therefore, bound with both CBD and PIP 2 , KCNQ2-CaM CBD-PIP2 is in an open state."

sparser
"This KCNQ2-CaM CBD-PIP2 structure resembles the previously reported PIP 2 -bound open-state structures of KCNQ1 and KCNQ4 xref , xref , xref ."

sparser
"Second, structure alignment KCNQ2-CaM CBD and KCNQ2-CaM CBD-PIP2 shows that PIP 2 induces a further 3–4 Å shift of VSD (Fig.  xref ), which completely destroys interactions of VSD and CaM, resulting in the release of CaM and HA/HB from the VSD, followed by the rotation of CaM and HA/HB, as well as the folding of S6 and HA into one continuous helix (Fig.  xref )."

sparser
"These CBD and PIP 2 activation insights are obtained from comparisons of the KCNQ2-CaM structures with or without ligands."

"The first CaM-binding motif has a sequence that conforms partially to the consensus IQ motif, but both wild-type CaM and a Ca2+-insensitive CaM mutant bind to KCNQ2."

reach
"Here we show that the L339R mutation in helix A, which is linked to human benign neonatal convulsions, perturbs CaM binding to KCNQ2 channels and prevents their correct trafficking to the plasma membrane."

sparser
"However, in vitro the binding of PIP 2 in the activated VSD is not that strong and PIP 2 is easy to dissociate, which can explain why we were unable to capture the PIP 2 -bound open-state KCNQ2-CaM structure in the presence of PIP 2 alone (KCNQ2-CaM PIP2(-) ) (Fig.  xref )."

"CK2-mediated phosphorylation of CaM regulates the M-current by facilitating CaM binding to KCNQ2 [19] ."

"Interestingly, two different KCNQ2-CaM F104A maps were reconstructed from one dataset, which were designated KCNQ2-CaM F104A-CBD-PIP2(-)-I and KCNQ2-CaM F104A-CBD-PIP2-II at 2.7 Å and 3.5 Å resolutions, respectively (Fig.  xref , Table  xref , Supplementary Figs.  xref – xref , xref )."

sparser
"Interestingly, KCNQ2-CaM F104A-CBD-PIP2(-)-I remains in a closed state with no PIP 2 bound while KCNQ2-CaM F104A-CBD-PIP2-II is in an open state with the PIP 2 bound (Fig.  xref )."

sparser
"The number ratio of particles used for the final reconstruction of KCNQ2-CaM F104A-CBD-PIP2(-)-I and KCNQ2-CaM F104A-CBD-PIP2-II is ~4: 1 (Fig.  xref )."

sparser
"In comparison, only the open-state 3D reconstruction KCNQ2-CaM PIP2-CBD was obtained from the WT sample with both PIP 2 and CBD bound."

sparser
"The differential distribution of the KCNQ2-CaM F104A-CBD-PIP2 particles with only CBD A bound in closed and open states indicates that with the presence of PIP 2 , (i) CBD A alone is able to stabilize some KCNQ2 channels in the open conformation, which accounts for ~20% of total channels, and (ii) CBD B further enhances this stabilization and dramatically increases the ratio of the open-conformation channels."

reach
"These data are entirely consistent with the concept that CaM bound to KCNQ2 acts as a Ca2+ sensor, conferring Ca2+ dependence to the trafficking of the channel to the plasma membrane and fully explaining the requirement of CaM binding for KCNQ2 function."

sparser
"Of note, the signal of CaM 3 pulled down with Kv7.4 channels was stronger than WT CaM in the presence of 2 mM CaCl 2 , matching the observation by xref , who reported that longer exposure to calcium decreased CaM binding to Kv7.2 channels."

sparser
"With the presence of PIP 2 in KCNQ2-CaM PIP2-HN37 , HN37 B was unable to bind."

sparser
"However, we could not rule out the possibility that the two-HN37-bound KCNQ structures (KCNQ2-CaM HN37 and KCNQ2-CaM HN37-PIP2(-) ) may present an in vivo transient state after which HN37 B will be replaced by PIP 2 easily."

sparser
"We first align structures of KCNQ2-CaM HN37 and KCNQ2-CaM CBD , which shows that HN37 B clashes with CBD A and Trp236 side chain, but not CBD B . Thus, this HN37 B is unlikely to co-bind with two CBDs (Supplementary Fig.  xref )."

sparser
"The current study suggests that not only the calcium-induced dissociation of CaM, but also a change in the configuration of CaM-KCNQ2 binding could suppress the KCNQ2 current."

sparser
"We also demonstrated that a CaM deficient mutant channel, KCNQ2(R353G), showed augmented ionomycin-induced current suppression, which suggests that a change in the KCNQ2-CaM interaction is critical for the suppression."

"This review aims to summarize the functional findings together with the different mechanisms of action proposed for the interaction of CaM with Kv7.2 channels."

sparser
"Since the KCNQ2(R353G) channel with impaired CaM binding and low PIP2 affinity xref showed a stronger response to ionomycin, it would be reasonable to assume that the KCNQ2-CaM interaction regulates PIP2 affinity of the KCNQ2 subunit as we reported previously xref ."

"(iii) Consistent with the previous literature (41, 42), mutations that interfere with CaM binding to Kv7.2 and Kv7.3 reduce channel membrane abundance and activity, but these mutants retain sensitivity to zinc."

"It was shown previously that I340E substitution in helix A or S511D substitution in helix B ( xref A ) reduce CaM binding to Kv7.2 and also reduce plasma membrane expression of the channels as well as the whole cell currents generated ( xref , xref )."
