abstract = {Electrical cell signaling requires adjustment of ion
channel, receptor, or transporter function in response to
changes in membrane potential. For the majority of such
membrane proteins, the molecular details of voltage sensing
remain insufficiently understood. Here, we present a
molecular dynamics simulation-based method to determine the
underlying charge movement across the membrane—the gating
charge—by measuring electrical capacitor properties of
membrane-embedded proteins. We illustrate the approach by
calculating the charge transfer upon membrane insertion of
the HIV gp41 fusion peptide, and validate the method on two
prototypical voltage-dependent proteins, the Kv1.2 K+
channel and the voltage sensor of the Ciona intestinalis
voltage-sensitive phosphatase, against experimental data. We
then use the gating charge analysis to study how the T1
domain modifies voltage sensing in Kv1.2 channels and to
investigate the voltage dependence of the initial binding of
two Na+ ions in Na+-coupled glutamate transporters. Our
simulation approach quantifies various mechanisms of voltage
sensing, enables direct comparison with experiments, and
supports mechanistic interpretation of voltage sensitivity
