Mutation studies have identified a region of the S5-S6 loop of voltage-gated K+ channels (P region) responsible for teraethylammonium (TEA) block and permeation/selectivity properties. We previously modeled a similar region of the Na+ channel as four beta-hairpins with the C strands from each of the domains forming the external vestibule and with charged residues at the beta-turns forming the selectivity filter. However, the K+ channel P region amino acid composition is much more hydrophobic in this area. Here we propose a structural motif for the K+ channel pore based on the following postulates (Kv2.1 numbering). (i) The external TEA binding site is formed by four Tyr-380 residues; P loop residues participating in the internal TEA binding site are four Met-371 and Thr-372 residues. (ii) P regions form extended hairpins with beta-turns in sequence ITMT. (iii) only C ends of hairpins form the inner walls of the pore. (iv) They are extended nonregular strands with backbone carbonyl oxygens of segment VGYGD facing the pore with the conformation BRLRL. (v) Juxtaposition of P loops of the four subunits forms the pore. Fitting the external and internal TEA sites to TEA molecules predicts an hourglass-like pore with the narrowest point (GYG) as wide as 5.5 A, suggesting that selectivity may be achieved by interactions of carbonyls with partially hydrated K+. Other potential cation binding sites also exist in the pore.
