Voltage gating of hyperpolarization-activated cation (HCN) channels is potentiated by direct binding of cAMP to a cytoplasmic cAMP-sensing domain (CSD). When unliganded, the CSD inhibits hyperpolarization-dependent opening of the HCN channel gate; cAMP binding relieves this autoinhibition so that opening becomes more favorable thermodynamically. This autoinhibition-relief mechanism is conserved with that of several other cyclic nucleotide receptors using the same ligand-binding fold. Besides its thermodynamic effect, cAMP also modulates the depolarization-dependent deactivation rate by kinetically trapping channels in an open state. Here we report studies of strong open-state trapping in an HCN channel showing that the well-established autoinhibition-relief model is insufficient. Whereas deletion of the CSD mimics the thermodynamic open-state stabilization usually associated with cAMP binding, CSD deletion removes rather than mimics the kinetic effect of strong open-state trapping. Substitution of different CSD sequences leads to variation of the degree of open-state trapping in the liganded channel but not in the unliganded channel. CSD-dependent open-state trapping is observed during a voltage-dependent deactivation pathway, specific to the secondary open state that is formed by mode shift after prolonged hyperpolarization activation. This hysteretic activation-deactivation cycle is preserved by CSD substitution, but the change in deactivation kinetics of the liganded channel resulting from CSD substitution is not correlated with the change in autoinhibition properties. Thus the liganded and the unliganded forms of the CSD respectively provide the structural determinants for open-state trapping and autoinhibition, such that two distinct mechanisms for cAMP regulation can operate in one receptor.
