The importance of the cytosolic C-terminal region of the P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) is unquestioned, yet little is known about the functional domains of this region and how they may contribute to the numerous properties ascribed to this receptor. A structure-function analysis of truncated and single-residue-mutated P2X7 receptors was performed in HEK-293 cells and Xenopus oocytes. Cells expressing receptors truncated at residue 581 (of 595) have negligible ethidium ion. uptake, whereas those expressing the P2X7R truncated at position 582 give wild type ethidium. ion uptake suggesting that pore formation requires over 95% of the C-terminal tail. Channel function was evident even, in receptors that were truncated at position 380 indicating that only a small portion of the cytosolic region is required for channel activity. Surprisingly, truncations in the region between residues 551 and 581 resulted in non-functional receptors with no-detectable cell surface expression in HEK-293 cells. A more detailed analksis,revealed that mutations of single residues within this region could also abolish receptor function and cell surface expression, suggesting that this region may participate in regulating the surface expression of the pore-forming P2X7R.
