FunctionTRPV4_HUMAN Non-selective calcium permeant cation channel probably involved in osmotic sensitivity and mechanosensitivity. Activation by exposure to hypotonicity within the physiological range exhibits an outward rectification. Also activated by low pH, citrate and phorbol esters. Increase of intracellular Ca(2+) potentiates currents. Channel activity seems to be regulated by a calmodulin-dependent mechanism with a negative feedback mechanism. Promotes cell-cell junction formation in skin keratinocytes and plays an important role in the formation and/or maintenance of functional intercellular barriers. Acts as a regulator of intracellular Ca(2+) in synoviocytes. Plays an obligatory role as a molecular component in the nonselective cation channel activation induced by 4-alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate and hypotonic stimulation in synoviocytes and also regulates production of IL-8.[1] [2] [3] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe nonselective calcium-permeable Transient Receptor Potential Cation Channel Subfamily V Member4 (TRPV4) channel regulates various physiological activities. Dysfunction of TRPV4 is linked to many severe diseases, including edema, pain, gastrointestinal disorders, lung diseases, and inherited neurodegeneration. Emerging TRPV4 antagonists show potential clinical benefits. However, the molecular mechanisms of TRPV4 antagonism remain poorly understood. Here, cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of human TRPV4 are presented in-complex with two potent antagonists, revealing the detailed binding pockets and regulatory mechanisms of TRPV4 gating. Both antagonists bind to the voltage-sensing-like domain (VSLD) and stabilize the channel in closed states. These two antagonists induce TRPV4 to undergo an apparent fourfold to twofold symmetry transition. Moreover, it is demonstrated that one of the antagonists binds to the VSLD extended pocket, which differs from the canonical VSLD pocket. Complemented with functional and molecular dynamics simulation results, this study provides crucial mechanistic insights into TRPV4 regulation by small-molecule antagonists, which may facilitate future drug discovery targeting TRPV4.
