Function[ASIC1_CHICK] Cation channel with high affinity for sodium, which is gated by extracellular protons and inhibited by the diuretic amiloride (By similarity).[1] Publication Abstract from PubMedAcid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) detect extracellular protons produced during inflammation or ischemic injury and belong to the superfamily of degenerin/epithelial sodium channels. Here, we determine the cocrystal structure of chicken ASIC1a with MitTx, a pain-inducing toxin from the Texas coral snake, to define the structure of the open state of ASIC1a. In the MitTx-bound open state and in the previously determined low-pH desensitized state, TM2 is a discontinuous alpha helix in which the Gly-Ala-Ser selectivity filter adopts an extended, belt-like conformation, swapping the cytoplasmic one-third of TM2 with an adjacent subunit. Gly 443 residues of the selectivity filter provide a ring of three carbonyl oxygen atoms with a radius of approximately 3.6 A, presenting an energetic barrier for hydrated ions. The ASIC1a-MitTx complex illuminates the mechanism of MitTx action, defines the structure of the selectivity filter of voltage-independent, sodium-selective ion channels, and captures the open state of an ASIC. X-ray structure of Acid-sensing ion channel 1-snake toxin complex reveals open state of a na(+)-selective channel.,Baconguis I, Bohlen CJ, Goehring A, Julius D, Gouaux E Cell. 2014 Feb 13;156(4):717-29. doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2014.01.011.
