Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin 2 (TRPM2) cation channels contribute to immunocyte activation, insulin secretion, and central thermoregulation. TRPM2 opens upon binding cytosolic Ca and ADP ribose (ADPR). We present here the 2.5 Å cryo-electronmicroscopy structure of TRPM2 from (nvTRPM2) in a lipid nanodisc, complexed with Ca and ADPR-2'-phosphate. Comparison with nvTRPM2 without nucleotide reveals that nucleotide binding-induced movements in the protein's three "core" layers deconvolve into a set of rigid-body rotations conserved from cnidarians to man. By covalently crosslinking engineered cysteine pairs we systematically trap the cytosolic layers in specific conformations and study effects on gate opening/closure. The data show that nucleotide binding in Layer 3 disrupts inhibitory intersubunit interactions, allowing rotation of Layer 2 which in turn expands the gate located in Layer 1. Channels trapped in that "activated" state are no longer nucleotide dependent, but are opened by binding of Ca alone.
瞬时受体电位阳离子通道亚家族 M 成员 2(TRPM2)参与免疫细胞激活、胰岛素分泌和中枢体温调节。TRPM2 可在结合细胞质 Ca2+和二磷酸腺苷核糖(ADPR)后开启。本文呈现了 (nvTRPM2)在脂纳米盘中与 Ca2+和 ADPR-2'-磷酸结合的 2.5 Å 冷冻电镜结构。与无核苷酸的 nvTRPM2 相比,核苷酸结合诱导的蛋白三个“核心”层的运动可分解为从刺胞动物到人保守的一组刚体旋转。通过对工程化半胱氨酸对进行共价交联,我们系统地将细胞质层固定在特定构象中,并研究其对门控开启/关闭的影响。数据表明,第三层的核苷酸结合破坏了抑制性亚基间相互作用,允许第二层旋转,从而扩展位于第一层的门。被捕获在这种“激活”状态下的通道不再依赖核苷酸,而是通过单独结合 Ca2+打开。
