Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are members of the DEG/ENaC family that includes the only known peptide-gated ion channels. While ASICs are gated by protons, they are also sensitive to peptides and are modulated by the molluscan FMRFamide and other mammalian neuropeptides ending by the RFamide motif. We identified a set of synthetic short amidated hexapeptides, which not only end by the RFamide motif but also by CFamide and FCamide, as potent positive modulators of ASIC3 acid-induced activity. We focused on two of them, a RFamide peptide (FRCC‾RFamide) and a CFamide peptide (FRCRC‾Famide), demonstrating that they have similar specificity for and effects on ASIC3. The potentiating effects of the two peptides are due to a strong slow-down of desensitization, leading to an increase in the amount of current induced by acid pH (≤pH6.6), with apparent affinities ranging from 1 to 5 μM. Surprisingly, the washout kinetic of FRCC‾RFamide peptide was much slower than those of FRCRC‾Famide and other known RFamide peptides, suggesting potential differences in their mechanisms of action. Computational modeling and structure-function analysis reveal interactions of both peptides with the non-proton binding site of ASIC3 as already reported before for other RFamide peptides, but our data also suggest possible additional effects of FRCC‾RFamide involving directly or indirectly the proton binding domain. These findings expand our understanding of ASICs' modulation by peptides, identifying novel short modulators of ASIC3, including peptides with new CFamide and FCamide ending motifs, and showing differences between these peptides using their washout kinetic as a new parameter.
