AbstractPannexin1 (PANX1) is a large-pore ATP efflux channel with a broad distribution, which allows the exchange of molecules and ions smaller than 1 kDa between the cytoplasm and extracellular space. In this study, we show that in human macrophages PANX1 expression is upregulated by diverse stimuli that promote pyroptosis, which is reminiscent of the previously reported lipopolysaccharide-induced upregulation of PANX1 during inflammasome activation. To further elucidate the function of PANX1, we propose the full-length human Pannexin1 (hPANX1) model through cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation studies, establishing hPANX1 as a homo-heptamer and revealing that both the N-termini and C-termini protrude deeply into the channel pore funnel. MD simulations also elucidate key energetic features governing the channel that lay a foundation to understand the channel gating mechanism. Structural analyses, functional characterizations, and computational studies support the current hPANX1-MD model, suggesting the potential role of hPANX1 in pyroptosis during immune responses.

According to analysis of the gas hydrate cage and structure of the inhibitor and simulation of molecular dynamics, the interaction between GHI1 and hydrates was discussed. The structure analysis indicated the side group of PVP can insert into the open hydrate cage, and force the hydrate growing along the polymer chain, which results in a large space resistance and inhibits gas hydrate agglomerating. The results of MD simulation show GHI1 can damage the surface cage in hydrate lattice; the hydrogen and oxygen in GHI1 can form hydrogen bonds respectively with oxygen and hydrogen in hydrates, which makes the surface molecules of the cages unstable and distorts the cages; Synergist diethylene glycol ether increases strength and range of length of hydrogen bond.

The hydrated clusters of protonated imidazole (ImH+) can induce protein denaturation through various kinds of monovalent interactions such as cation···π (stacking), N–H⋯π (T-shaped) and water-mediated O–H⋯O H-bonds.
