Abstract
TRPV5 (transient receptor potential vanilloid 5) is a unique calcium-selective TRP channel essential for calcium homeostasis. Unlike other TRPV channels, TRPV5 and its close homolog, TRPV6, do not exhibit thermosensitivity or ligand-dependent activation but are constitutively open at physiological membrane potentials and modulated by calmodulin (CaM) in a calcium-dependent manner. Here we report high-resolution electron cryomicroscopy structures of truncated and full-length TRPV5 in lipid nanodiscs, as well as of a TRPV5 W583A mutant and TRPV5 in complex with CaM. These structures highlight the mechanism of calcium regulation and reveal a flexible stoichiometry of CaM binding to TRPV5.
