Two-pore channels (TPCNs) have been proposed to form lysosomal Ca(2+) release channels that are activated by nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate. Here, we employ a glass chip-based method to record for the first time nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate -dependent currents through a two-pore channel (TPCN2) from intact lysosomes. We show that TPCN2 is a highly selective Ca(2+) channel that is regulated by intralysosomal pH. Using site-directed mutagenesis, we identify an amino acid residue in the putative pore region that is crucial for conferring high Ca(2+) selectivity. Our glass chip-based method will provide electrophysiological access not only to lysosomal TPCN channels but also to a broad range of other intracellular ion channels.
双孔通道(TPCNs)被认为可形成由烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸磷酸激活的溶酶体钙释放通道。在此,我们采用基于玻璃芯片的方法,首次记录到来自完整溶酶体的通过双孔通道(TPCN2)的烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸磷酸依赖性电流。我们发现TPCN2是一种受溶酶体内pH调节的高度选择性钙通道。通过定点诱变,我们在假定的孔区域鉴定出一个对赋予高钙选择性至关重要的氨基酸残基。我们基于玻璃芯片的方法不仅将为溶酶体TPCN通道提供电生理研究途径,也将为广泛的其他细胞内离子通道提供电生理研究途径。
