Acid-sensing ion channels are proton-gated Na(+) channels expressed predominantly in neurons. How channel structure translates an environmental stimulus into changes in pore permeability remains largely undefined. The pore of ASIC1 is defined by residues in the second transmembrane domain (TM2), although a segment of the outer vestibule is formed by residues of TM1. We used the voltage clamp fluorometry technique to define the role of the region preceding TM2 (pre-TM2) in activation and desensitization of mouse ASIC1a. Oocytes expressing E425C channels labeled with Alexa Fluor 488 C5-maleimide showed a change in the emission of the fluorescent probe in response to extracellular acidification. The time course of the change in fluorescence correlated with activation but not desensitization of E425C channels. The fluorescence emission did not change following extracellular acidification in oocytes carrying an inactivating mutation (W287G/E425C), although these channels were labeled and expressed at the plasma membrane. Our data indicate that pore opening occurs in conjunction with a conformational rearrangement of the pre-TM2. We observed a change in the emission of the fluorescent probe when labeled E425C channels transition from the desensitized to the resting state. The substituted-cysteine-accessibility method was used to determine whether the pre-TM2 has different conformations in the resting and desensitized states. State-dependent changes in accessibility to 2-[(trimethylammonium)ethyl]methanethiosulfonate bromide modification were observed in oocytes expressing K421C, K422C, Y424C, and E425C channels. Our results suggest that the pre-TM2 of ASIC1a undergoes dynamic conformational rearrangements during proton-dependent gating.
