Pannexin 1 (PANX1) is an ATP-permeable channel crucially involved in a variety of physiological functions such as blood pressure regulation, apoptotic cell clearance, and human oocyte development. We present several human PANX1 structures in a heptameric assembly at resolutions up to 2.8 Å, including an apo state, a caspase 7-cleaved state, a CBX-bound state. We elaborate a novel gating mechanism that involves the use of two ion-conducting pathways. Under normal cellular conditions, the intracellular entry of the wide main pore is physically plugged by the C-terminal tail. Small anions are conducted through narrow tunnels in the intracellular domain. These tunnels connect to the main pore and are gated by a long linker between the N-terminal helix and the first transmembrane helix. During apoptosis, the C-terminal tail is cleaved by caspase, allowing the release of ATP through the main pore. We identified a carbenoxolone (CBX) binding site embraced by W74 in the extracellular entrance and also a role for CBX as a channel blocker. We captured a gap junction-like structure using a glycosylation-deficient mutant, N255A. Our studies provided a solid foundation for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the channel gating and inhibition of PANX1 and related large-pore channels.
