Title: The interaction domains of transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC)1/4 and TRPC1/5 heteromultimeric channels
Abstract: Transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) family contains a non-selective cation channel, and four TRPC subunits form a functional tetrameric channel. TRPC4/5 channels form not only the homotetrameric channel but also a heterotetrameric channel with TRPC1. We investigated the interaction domain required for TRPC1/4 or TRPC1/5 heteromultimeric channels using FRET and the patch-clamp technique. TRPC1 only localized at the plasma membrane (PM) when it was coexpressed with TRPC4 or TRPC5. The TRPC1/4 or TRPC1/5 heteromultimeric showed the typical outward rectifying I/V curve. When TRPC1 and TRPC4 form a heteromeric channel, the N-terminal coiled-coil domain (CCD) and C-terminal 725–745 region of TRPC1 interact with the N-terminal CCD and C-terminal 700–728 region of TRPC4. However, when TRPC1 and TRPC5 form a heteromeric channel, the N-terminal CCD and C-terminal 673–725 region of TRPC1 interact with the N-terminal CCD and C-terminal 707–735 region of TRPC5. In conclusion, the N-terminal CCD of TRPC channels is essential for the heteromultimeric structure of TRPC channels, whereas specific C-terminal regions are required for unique heteromerization between subgroups of TRPC channels.
