The Leu294 residue in the cytoplasmic neck of Thermotoga maritima CorA is considered to be the main gate for Mg2+ transport. We created three site-directed mutants at this position: in the Leu294Asp and Leu294Gly mutants we observed a defect in closing of the pore, while in the Leu294Arg mutant not only gating, but also the regulation of Mg2+ uptake was affected. Our results confirmed the importance of the Leu294 for gating of Mg2+ transport and in addition revealed the influence of the charge and structural features of the amino acid residues on the gating mechanism. ► Mutational study of the ion gate of Mg2+ transporter CorA. ► Effect of exchange of Leu294 with a positively charged residue on gating of CorA (Leu294Arg mutant). ► Effect of exchange of Leu294 with a negatively charged residue on gating of CorA (Leu294Asp mutant). ► Effect of removal of side chain at position 294 on gating of CorA (Leu294Gly mutant).
