Tetratricopeptide repeat-containing Rab8b-interacting (TRIP8b) protein is a brain-specific subunit of Hyperpolarization-activated Cyclic Nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels, a class of voltage-gated channels modulated by cyclic nucleotides. While the interaction between TRIP8b and the cytosolic C terminus of the channel has been structurally described, the HCN:TRIP8b stoichiometry is less characterized. We employed single molecule mass photometry (MP) to image HCN4 particles purified in complex with TRIP8b. Our data show that four TRIP8b subunits are bound to the tetrameric HCN4 particle, confirming a 1:1 stoichiometry.
含四肽重复序列的Rab8b相互作用蛋白(TRIP8b)是超极化激活的环核苷酸门控(HCN)通道的脑特异性亚基,HCN通道是一类受环核苷酸调节的电压门控通道。虽然TRIP8b与通道胞质C末端之间的相互作用已在结构上有所描述,但HCN:TRIP8b的化学计量关系却鲜为人知。我们采用单分子质量光度法(MP)对与TRIP8b复合纯化的HCN4颗粒进行成像。我们的数据表明,四个TRIP8b亚基与四聚体HCN4颗粒结合,证实了1:1的化学计量关系。
