Fig. 4. ML277 binding to the open hKCNQ1 structure in the presence of PIP2 and KCNE3.

Fig. 4

a, c Superposition of xKCNQ1-CaM-ML277 structure (orange) onto the open pore hKCNQ1-CaM-KCNE3-PIP2 (PDB-ID: 6V01, green) via the S4-S5 linker and S5 helix. hKCNE3 is shown as pale green for comparison. c Side view of PIP2 tail and ML277. b, d Superposition of xKCNQ1-CaM-ML277 structure (orange) onto the modeled hKCNQ1-PIP2-ML277 structure (gray, PDB-ID: 6V01, KCNE3 was omitted). Binding free energy for ML277 was −54.5 ± 0.65 kcal/mol. d Side view of PIP2 tails and ML277. e Superposition of KCNE3 (green) from hKCNQ1-CaM-PIP2-KCNE3 (PDB-ID: 6V01), onto the xKCNQ1-CaM-ML277 complex (cyan and blue). f Conformations of T71 and F68 in KCNE3 and F270 in hKCNQ1 do not allow L266 to rotate and ML277 to bind. Residues on KCNQ1-CaM-PIP2-KCNE3 (green) are lime green and corresponding residues Leu256 and Phe260 in xKCNQ1-CaM-ML277 are shown in cyan. VDW surfaces of Leu256, Phe260 in xKCNQ1, and F270 in hKCNQ1 are shown as mesh to indicate potential clashes.
