1. The effect on polyamine block of mutations at the Q/R site and the conserved negative charge +4 site in AMPA and kainate receptors was studied using the rat glutamate receptor GluR6 expressed in Xenopus oocytes and human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells. 2. Introduction of negative charge at the Q/R site increased the equilibrium dissociation constant at 0 mV (Kd(0)) for spermine from 1.3 to 4.0 microM (Q590E); the smaller side chains Q590D and Q590N had Kd(0) values of 47 and 20 microM. Reductions in spermine affinity were also obtained for the small hydrophobic residues Q590V and Q590A, with Kd(0) values of 3.6 and 8.8 microM. Positively charged side chains produced outward rectifying responses similar to those recorded for GluR6(Q) with polyamine-free conditions, suggesting a complete absence of voltage-dependent block by spermine. 3. Substitution of tryptophan at the Q/R site produced high-affinity block with a Kd(0) of 190 pM. In Xenopus oocytes no outward current was observed at potentials up to +200 mV. A much smaller increase in affinity was observed for Q590F and Q590Y, which had Kd(0) values of 0.28 and 0.83 microM respectively. 4. The Q590H mutant gave weakly birectifying responses strikingly different from those for other mutants. When ionization of the His group was increased by raising the external hydrogen ion concentration, responses became outward rectifying. The ratios of the conductance at 100 mV over that at -100 mV for Q590H were 0.52 at pH 8.3 and 2.5 at pH 5.3. 5. Neutralization of charge or aromatic residues at the +4 site produced a large reduction of spermine affinity, with Kd(0) values for E594N, E594Q and E594W of 109, 1020 and 2150 microM, respectively. In the absence of polyamines, E594K and E594R produced strongly inward rectifying responses while E594Q, E594A and E594W were birectifying. 6. A model for permeant block allowed quantitative comparisons between mutants. Despite large changes in well depth and barrier heights, there was little change in the voltage dependence of block for both Q/R and +4 site mutants. We propose a model with a distributed binding site for polyamines in which the +4 site is located near the entrance to the channel.
