CFTR, the anion channel mutated in cystic fibrosis patients, is a model ABC protein whose ATP-driven conformational cycle is observable at single-molecule level in patch-clamp recordings. Bursts of CFTR pore openings are coupled to tight dimerization of its two nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs) and in wild-type (WT) channels are mostly terminated by ATP hydrolysis. The slow rate of non-hydrolytic closure - which determines how tightly bursts and ATP hydrolysis are coupled - is unknown, as burst durations of catalytic site mutants span a range of ~200-fold. Here, we show that Walker A mutation K1250A, Walker B mutation D1370N, and catalytic glutamate mutations E1371S and E1371Q all completely disrupt ATP hydrolysis. True non-hydrolytic closing rate of WT CFTR approximates that of K1250A and E1371S. That rate is slowed ~15-fold in E1371Q by a non-native inter-NBD H-bond, and accelerated ~15-fold in D1370N. These findings uncover unique features of the NBD interface in human CFTR.

Figure 1 CFTR topology and gating cycle. (A) Cartoon topology of CFTR. TMD1–2, gray; NBD1, blue; NBD2, green; R-domain, pale red. Red asterisk denotes catalytic site mutations. (B) Cartoon of head-to-tail NBD dimer. Color coding as in (A). ATP, large yellow circles. Site 2 (top): conserved Walker A/B residues, small red circles; catalytic base, small black circle; signature sequence, magenta crescent. Site 1 (bottom): color coding as for site 2, pale residues represent non-conserved substitutions. Residue numbering corresponds to the human CFTR sequence. (C) Schematic gating cycle of phosphorylated CFTR. Flickery closures from states B1 and B2 are not depicted. Disruption of ATP hydrolysis in catalytic site mutants (red cross) reduces gating to reversible IB1 ↔ B1 transitions (red box). Note, that in reality sites 1 and 2 are equally near the membrane, in the cartoons site 2 is depicted as the top and site 1 as the bottom site merely for representation purposes. |

Figure 2 Non-native inter-NBD H-bond in OF E-to-Q mutant hCFTR, but not zCFTR, suggested by cryo-EM structures. (A) Macroscopic current relaxations upon ATP removal in inside-out patches excised from Xenopus laevis oocytes expressing hE1371Q (black trace), hE1371S (dark blue trace), zE1372Q (brown trace), and zE1372S (light blue trace) CFTR channels.
