    Abstract Cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channels play a central role in rod and cone photoreceptors of the vertebrate retina. In photoreceptors, light triggers a series of biochemical reactions that ultimately close CNG channels and evoke a brief voltage pulse, a signal that is later passed on to the brain. Malfunction of CNG channels can lead to loss of vision. Thus, understanding their function in atomic and mechanistic detail is important. Because of the complex subunit stoichiometry of these channels, elucidation of their structure has proved challenging. Recently, several cryoelectron microscopy (EM) structures of rod and cone CNG channels revealed unexpected structural features. We compare these structures side by side and highlight similarities and differences in key structural elements. We discuss the implications of the channels' structure for questions about their gating, ion permeation, and modulation. These results inform new strategies to further characterize the structural basis of CNG channels functioning in rods and cones.

    Abstract Navigation of dendritic cells (DCs) from the site of infection to lymphoid organs is guided by concentration gradients of CCR7 ligands. How cells interpret chemokine gradients and how they couple directional sensing to polarization and persistent chemotaxis has remained largely elusive.

    Abstract The recently reported structure of the human CNGA1/CNGB1 CNG channel in the open state (Xue et al., 2021a) shows that one CNGA1 and one CNGB1 subunit do not open the central hydrophobic gate completely upon cGMP binding. This is different from what has been reported for CNGA homomeric channels (Xue et al., 2021b; Zheng et al., 2020). In seeking to understand how this difference is due to the presence of the CNGB1 subunit, we find that the deposited density map (Xue et al., 2021a) (EMDB 24465) contains an additional density not reported in the images of the original publication. This additional density fits well the structure of calmodulin (CaM), and it unambiguously connects the newly identified D-helix of CNGB1 to one of the CNGA1 helices (A1

    Abstract In rod photoreceptors of the retina, the cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channel is composed of three CNGA and one CNGB subunits, and it closes in response to light activation to generate an electrical signal that is conveyed to the brain. Here we report the cryo-EM structure of the closed state of the native rod CNG channel isolated from bovine retina. The structure reveals differences between CNGA1 and CNGB1 subunits. Three CNGA1 subunits are tethered at their C terminus by a coiled-coil region. The C-helix in the cyclic nucleotide-binding domain of CNGB1 features a different orientation from that in the three CNGA1 subunits. The arginine residue R994 of CNGB1 reaches into the ionic pathway and blocks the pore, thus introducing an additional gate, which is different from the central hydrophobic gate known from homomeric CNGA channels. These results address the long-standing question of how CNGB1 subunits contribute to the function of CNG channels in visual and olfactory neurons.

    Abstract Vertebrates and insects have evolved complex repertoires of chemosensory receptors to detect and distinguish odours. With a few exceptions, vertebrate chemosensory receptors belong to the family of G protein-coupled receptors that initiate a cascade of cellular signalling events and thereby electrically excite the neuron. Insect receptors, which are structurally and genetically unrelated to vertebrate receptors, are a complex of two distinct molecules that serves both as a receptor for the odorant and as an ion channel that is gated by binding of the odorant. Metabotropic signalling in vertebrates provides a rich panoply of positive and negative regulation, whereas ionotropic signalling in insects enhances processing speed.
