Eukaryote voltage-gated Ca2+ channels of the CaV2 channel family are hetero-oligomers formed by the pore-forming CaVα1 protein assembled with auxiliary CaVα2δ and CaVß subunits. CaVß subunits are formed by a Src homology 3 (SH3) domain and a guanylate kinase (GK) domain connected through a HOOK domain. The GK domain binds a conserved cytoplasmic region of the pore-forming CaVα1 subunit referred as the "AID". Herein we explored the phylogenetic and functional relationship between CaV channel subunits in distant eukaryotic organisms by investigating the function of a MAGUK protein (XM_004990081) cloned from the choanoflagellate Salpingoeca rosetta (Sro). This MAGUK protein (Sroß) features SH3 and GK structural domains with a 25% primary sequence identity to mammalian CaVß. Recombinant expression of its cDNA with mammalian high-voltage activated Ca2+ channel CaV2.3 in mammalian HEK cells produced robust voltage-gated inward Ca2+ currents with typical activation and inactivation properties. Like CaVß, Sroß prevents fast degradation of total CaV2.3 proteins in cycloheximide assays. The three-dimensional homology model predicts an interaction between the GK domain of Sroß and the AID motif of the pore-forming CaVα1 protein. Substitution of AID residues Trp (W386A) and Tyr (Y383A) significantly impaired co-immunoprecipitation of CaV2.3 with Sroß and functional upregulation of CaV2.3 currents. Likewise, a 6-residue deletion within the GK domain of Sroß, similar to the locus found in mammalian CaVß, significantly reduced peak current density. Altogether our data demonstrate that an ancestor MAGUK protein reconstitutes the biophysical and molecular features responsible for channel upregulation by mammalian CaVß through a minimally conserved molecular interface.
