Title : Structure of mammalian endolysosomal TRPML1 channel in nanodiscs

Abstract :
  1. Transient receptor potential mucolipin 1 ( TRPML1 ) is a cation channel located within endosomal and lysosomal membranes
  2. Ubiquitously expressed in mammalian cells, its loss-of-function mutations are the direct cause of type IV mucolipidosis, an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease
  3. Here we present the single-particle electron cryo-microscopy structure of the mouse TRPML1 channel embedded in nanodiscs
  4. Combined with mutagenesis analysis, the TRPML1 structure reveals that phosphatidylinositol-3,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(3,5)P2) binds to the N terminus of the channel-distal from the pore-and the helix-turn-helix extension between segments S2 and S3 probably couples ligand binding to pore opening
  5. The tightly packed selectivity filter contains multiple ion-binding sites , and the conserved acidic residues form the luminal Ca2 +-blocking site that confers luminal pH and Ca2 + modulation on channel conductance
  6. A luminal linker domain forms a fenestrated canopy atop the channel , providing several luminal ion passages to the pore and creating a negative electrostatic trap, with a preference for divalent cations, at the luminal entrance
  7. The structure also reveals two equally distributed S4-S5 linker conformations in the closed channel , suggesting an S4-S5 linker-mediated PtdInsP2 gating mechanism among TRPML channels
