Gating of human TRPV3 in a lipid bilayer.

ABSTRACT: The transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 3 (TRPV3) channel plays a critical role in skin physiology, and mutations in TRPV3 result in the development of a congenital skin disorder, Olmsted syndrome. Here we describe multiple cryo-electron microscopy structures of human TRPV3 reconstituted into lipid nanodiscs, representing distinct functional states during the gating cycle. The ligand-free, closed conformation reveals well-ordered lipids interacting with the channel and two physical constrictions along the ion-conduction pore involving both the extracellular selectivity filter and intracellular helix bundle crossing. Both the selectivity filter and bundle crossing expand upon activation, accompanied by substantial structural rearrangements at the cytoplasmic inter
