Abstract: Abstract Proton-activated chloride (PAC) channels, ubiquitously expressed in tissues, regulate intracellular Cl- levels and cell death following acidosis. However, molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways involved in PAC channel modulation are largely unknown. Herein, we determine that phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] of the plasma membrane inner leaflet is essential for the proton activation of PAC channels. PI(4,5)P2 depletion by activating phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphatases or Gq protein-coupled muscarinic receptors substantially inhibits human PAC currents. In excised inside-out patches, PI(4,5)P2 application to the cytoplasmic side increases the currents. Structural simulation reveals that the putative PI(4,5)P2-binding site is localized within the cytosol in resting state but shifts to the cell membrane’s inner surface in an activated state and interacts with inner leaflet PI(4,5)P2. Alanine neutralization of basic residues near the membrane-cytosol interface of the transmembrane helice 2 significantly attenuates PAC currents. Overall, our study uncovers a modulatory mechanism of PAC channel through inner membrane PI(4,5)P2.
