A structural view of ligand-dependent activation in thermoTRP channels
Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) proteins are a large family of ion channels, grouped into seven sub-families. Although great advances have been made regarding the activation and modulation of TRP channel activity, detailed molecular mechanisms governing TRP channel gating are still needed. Sensitive to electric, chemical, mechanical, and thermal cues, TRP channels are tightly associated with...
متن کاملTrafficking of ThermoTRP Channels
ThermoTRP channels (thermoTRPs) define a subfamily of the transient receptor potential (TRP) channels that are activated by changes in the environmental temperature, from noxious cold to injurious heat. Acting as integrators of several stimuli and signalling pathways, dysfunction of these channels contributes to several pathological states. The surface expression of thermoTRPs is controlled by ...
متن کاملA structural view of ligand binding to the retinoid receptors
Nuclear receptors play an important role in transcription regulation. They bind as homoor heterodimers to the response elements of their target genes and interact with numerous and diverse partners, e. g. coactivator and corepressor proteins, and transcription factors. Many of these processes are ligand-dependent, i. e. binding of natural ligands activates the nuclear receptor through conformat...
متن کاملLigand-dependent activation of Slo family channels is defined by interchangeable cytosolic domains.
Large-conductance Ca2+- and voltage-regulated K+ channels (Slo1 BK-type) are controlled by two physiological stimuli, membrane voltage and cytosolic Ca2+. Regulation by voltage is similar to that in voltage-dependent K+ channels, arising from positively charged amino acids primarily within the S4 transmembrane helices. The basis for regulation by Ca2+ remains controversial. One viewpoint sugges...
