Calcium homeostasis balances passive calcium leak and active calcium uptake. Human Bax inhibitor-1 (hBI-1) is an antiapoptotic protein that mediates a calcium leak and is representative of a highly conserved and widely distributed family, the transmembrane Bax inhibitor motif (TMBIM) proteins. Here, we present crystal structures of a bacterial homolog and characterize its calcium leak activity. The structure has a seven-transmembrane-helix fold that features two triple-helix sandwiches wrapped around a central C-terminal helix. Structures obtained in closed and open conformations are reversibly interconvertible by change of pH. A hydrogen-bonded, pKa (where Ka is the acid dissociation constant)-perturbed pair of conserved aspartate residues explains the pH dependence of this transition, and biochemical studies show that pH regulates calcium influx in proteoliposomes. Homology models for hBI-1 provide insights into TMBIM-mediated calcium leak and cytoprotective activity.
钙稳态平衡了被动钙泄漏和主动钙摄取。人类 Bax 抑制剂 -1（hBI-1）是一种抗凋亡蛋白，介导钙泄漏，代表了一个高度保守且广泛分布的家族——跨膜 Bax 抑制剂基序（TMBIM）蛋白家族。在此，我们展示了一种细菌同源物的晶体结构，并对其钙泄漏活性进行了表征。该结构具有七跨膜螺旋折叠，其特征是两个三重螺旋三明治结构围绕着一个中央 C 末端螺旋。在封闭和开放构象中获得的结构可通过改变 pH 值可逆地相互转换。一对通过氢键结合、pKa（其中 Ka 是酸解离常数）受扰动的保守天冬氨酸残基解释了这种转变对 pH 的依赖性，生化研究表明 pH 调节蛋白脂质体中的钙内流。hBI-1 的同源模型为 TMBIM 介导的钙泄漏和细胞保护活性提供了见解。
