Structure of AtTPC1 D240A/D454A/E528A mutant with 1 mM Ca2+
Structural highlights
Function[TPC1_ARATH] Functions as a voltage-gated inward-rectifying Ca(2+) channel (VDCC) across the vacuole membrane. Is one of the essential components of the slow vacuolar (SV) channel. Acts as the major ROS-responsive Ca(2+) channel and is the possible target of Al-dependent inhibition. Involved in the regulation of germination and stomatal movement.[1] [2] Publication Abstract from PubMedArabidopsis thaliana two-pore channel AtTPC1 is a voltage-gated, Ca(2+)-modulated, nonselective cation channel that is localized in the vacuolar membrane and responsible for generating slow vacuolar (SV) current. Under depolarizing membrane potential, cytosolic Ca(2+) activates AtTPC1 by binding at the EF-hand domain, whereas luminal Ca(2+) inhibits the channel by stabilizing the voltage-sensing domain II (VSDII) in the resting state. Here, we present 2.8 to 3.3 A cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of AtTPC1 in two conformations, one in closed conformation with unbound EF-hand domain and resting VSDII and the other in a partially open conformation with Ca(2+)-bound EF-hand domain and activated VSDII. Structural comparison between the two different conformations allows us to elucidate the structural mechanisms of voltage gating, cytosolic Ca(2+) activation, and their coupling in AtTPC1. This study also provides structural insight into the general voltage-gating mechanism among voltage-gated ion channels.
