Swapping Of Transmembrane Domains In The Epithelial Calcium Channel TRPV6

Abstract

Tetrameric ion channels have either swapped or non-swapped arrangements of the S1-S4 and pore domains. Here we show that mutations in the transmembrane domain of TRPV6 can result in conversion from a domain-swapped to non-swapped fold. These results reveal structural determinants of domain swapping and raise the possibility that a single ion channel subtype can fold into either arrangement in vivo, affecting its function in normal or disease states.
