    Abstract Chronic hyperglycemia increases pancreatic β-cell metabolic activity, contributing to glucotoxicity-induced β-cell failure and loss of functional β-cell mass, potentially in multiple forms of diabetes. In this perspective we discuss the novel paradoxical and counterintuitive concept of inhibiting glycolysis, particularly by targeted inhibition of glucokinase, the first enzyme in glycolysis, as an approach to maintaining glucose sensing and preserving functional β-cell mass, thereby improving insulin secretion, in the treatment of diabetes.

    Abstract Inwardly rectifier potassium (Kir) channels are a major potassium channel sub-class whose function is regulated by ligand-dependent gating and highly voltage-dependent block by polyamines. With molecular dynamics simulations over previously unattainable timescales, Jogini et al. (J. Gen. Physiol. https://doi.org/10.1085/jgp.202213085) provide unprecedented visualization of K+ conduction through open Kir2.2 channels and of the molecular details of channel block by spermine.

    Abstract The Vanilloid thermoTRP (TRPV1-4) subfamily of TRP channels are involved in thermoregulation, osmoregulation, itch and pain perception, (neuro)inflammation and immune response, and tight control of channel activity is required for perception of noxious stimuli and pain. Here we report voltage-dependent modulation of each of human TRPV1, 3, and 4 by the endogenous intracellular polyamine spermine. As in inward rectifier K channels, currents are blocked in a strongly voltage-dependent manner, but, as in cyclic nucleotide-gated channels, the blockade is substantially reduced at more positive voltages, with maximal blockade in the vicinity of zero voltage. A kinetic model of inhibition suggests two independent spermine binding sites with different affinities as well as different degrees of polyamine permeability in TRPV1, 3, and 4. Given that block and relief occur over the physiological voltage range of action potentials, voltage-dependent polyamine block may be a potent modulator of TRPV-dependent excitability in multiple cell types.

    Abstract Potassium (K+) channels are membrane proteins with the remarkable ability to very selectively conduct K+ ions across the membrane. High-resolution structures have revealed that dehydrated K+ ions permeate through the narrowest region of the pore, formed by the backbone carbonyls of the signature selectivity filter (SF) sequence TxGYG. However, the existence of nonselective channels with similar SF sequences, as well as effects of mutations in other regions on selectivity, suggest that the SF is not the sole determinant of selectivity. We changed the selectivity of the KirBac1.1 channel by introducing mutations at residue I131 in transmembrane helix 2 (TM2). These mutations increase Na+ flux in the absence of K+ and introduce significant proton conductance. Consistent with K+ channel crystal structures, single-molecule FRET experiments show that the SF is conformationally constrained and stable in high-K+ conditions but undergoes transitions to dilated low-FRET states in high-Na+/low-K+ conditions. Relative to wild-type channels, I131M mutants exhibit marked shifts in the K+ and Na+ dependence of SF dynamics to higher K+ and lower Na+ concentrations. These results illuminate the role of I131, and potentially other structural elements outside the SF, in controlling ion selectivity, by suggesting that the physical interaction of these elements with the SF contributes to the relative stability of the constrained K+-induced SF configuration versus nonselective dilated conformations.

    Abstract Secretion of insulin from pancreatic β-cells is complex, but physiological glucose-dependent secretion is dominated by electrical activity, in turn controlled by ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel activity. Accordingly, loss-of-function mutations of the KATP channel Kir6.2 (KCNJ11) or SUR1 (ABCC8) subunit increase electrical excitability and secretion, resulting in congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI), whereas gain-of-function mutations cause underexcitability and undersecretion, resulting in neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM). Thus, diazoxide, which activates KATP channels, and sulfonylureas, which inhibit KATP channels, have dramatically improved therapies for CHI and NDM, respectively. However, key findings do not fit within this simple paradigm: mice with complete absence of β-cell KATP activity are not hyperinsulinemic; instead, they are paradoxically glucose intolerant and prone to diabetes, as are older human CHI patients. Critically, despite these advances, there has been little insight into any role of KATP channel activity changes in the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Intriguingly, the CHI progression from hypersecretion to undersecretion actually mirrors the classical response to insulin resistance in the progression of T2D. In seeking to explain the progression of CHI, multiple lines of evidence lead us to propose that underlying mechanisms are also similar and that development of T2D may involve loss of KATP activity.
