Halide Permeation in Wild-Type and Mutant Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator Chloride Channels

Permeation of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl channels by halide ions was studied in stably transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells by using the patch clamp technique. In cell-attached patches with a high Cl pipette solution, the CFTR channel displayed outwardly rectifying currents and had a conductance near the membrane potential of 6.0 pS at 22°C or 8.7 pS at 37°C. The current–voltage relationship became linear when patches were excised into symmetrical, N-tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl-2-aminomethane sulfonate (TES)-buffered solutions. Under these conditions, conductance increased from 7.0 pS at 22°C to 10.9 pS at 37°C. The conductance at 22°C was ~1.0 pS higher when TES and HEPES were omitted from the solution, suggesting weak, voltage-independent block by pH buffers. The relationship between conductance and Cl activity was hyperbolic and well fitted by a Michaelis-Menten–type function having a Km of ~38 mM and maximum conductance of 10 pS at 22°C. Dilution potentials measured with NaCl gradients indicated high anion selectivity (PNa/PCl = 0.003–0.028). Biionic reversal potentials measured immediately after exposure of the cytoplasmic side to various test anions indicated PI (1.8) > PBr (1.3) > PCl (1.0) > PF (0.17), consistent with a "weak field strength" selectivity site. The same sequence was obtained for external halides, although inward F flow was not observed. Iodide currents were protocol dependent and became blocked after 1–2 min. This coincided with a large shift in the (extrapolated) reversal potential to values indicating a greatly reduced I/Cl permeability ratio (PI/PCl < 0.4). The switch to low I permeability was enhanced at potentials that favored Cl entry into the pore and was not observed in the R347D mutant, which is thought to lack an anion binding site involved in multi-ion pore behavior. Interactions between Cl and I ions may influence I permeation and be responsible for the wide range of PI/PCl ratios that have been reported for the CFTR channel. The low PI/PCl ratio usually reported for CFTR only occurred after entry into an altered permeability state and thus may not be comparable with permeability ratios for other anions, which are obtained in the absence of iodide. We propose that CFTR displays a "weak field strength" anion selectivity sequence.

Key Words: iodide permeability • lyotropic sequence
