Abstract

In this paper, a series of equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations (EMD), steered molecular dynamics (SMD), and computational electrophysiology methods are carried out to explore water and ion permeation through mechanosensitive channels of large conductance (MscL). This research aims to identify the pore-lining side chains of the channel in different conformations of MscL homologs by analyzing the pore size. The distribution of permeating water dipole angles through the pore domains enclosed by VAL21 and GLU104 demonstrated that water molecules are oriented toward the charged oxygen headgroups of GLU104 from their hydrogen atoms to retain this interaction in a stabilized fashion. Although, this behavior was not perceived for VAL21. Numerical assessments of the secondary structure clarified that, during the ion permeation, in addition to the secondary structure alterations, the structure of Tb-MscL would also undergo significant conformational changes. It was elucidated that VAL21, GLU104, and water molecules accomplish a fundamental task in ion permeation. The mentioned residues hinder ion permeation so that the pulling SMD force is increased remarkably when the ions permeate through the domains enclosed by VAL21 and GLU102. The hydration level and potassium diffusivity in the hydrophobic gate of the transmembrane domain were promoted by applying the external electric field. Furthermore, the implementation of an external electric field altered the distribution pattern for potassium ions in the system while intensifying the accumulation of Cl in the vicinity of ARG11 and ARG98.

摘要

在本文中,开展了一系列平衡分子动力学模拟(EMD)、定向分子动力学(SMD)和计算电生理学方法,以探究水和离子通过大电导机械敏感通道(MscL)的渗透情况。本研究旨在通过分析孔径来确定MscL同源物不同构象下通道的孔内衬侧链。通过VAL21和GLU104包围的孔域的渗透水偶极角分布表明,水分子从其氢原子朝向GLU104的带电氧端基定向,以稳定的方式保持这种相互作用。然而,VAL21并未观察到这种行为。二级结构的数值评估表明,在离子渗透过程中,除了二级结构改变外,Tb-MscL的结构也会发生显著的构象变化。结果表明,VAL21、GLU104和水分子在离子渗透中完成了一项基本任务。上述残基阻碍离子渗透,使得当离子穿过VAL21和GLU102包围的区域时,定向分子动力学的拉力显著增加。通过施加外部电场,促进了跨膜结构域疏水门中的水合水平和钾扩散率。此外,外部电场的施加改变了系统中钾离子的分布模式,同时增强了ARG11和ARG98附近Cl的积累。
