Show abstract
Transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) is a Ca2+-permeable, non-selective cation channel involved in diverse physiological processes such as immune response, apoptosis and body temperature sensing. TRPM2 is activated by ADP-ribose (ADPR) and 2'-deoxy-ADPR in a Ca2+-dependent manner. While two species-specific binding sites exist for ADPR, a binding site for 2'-deoxy-ADPR is not known yet. Here, we report the crystal structure of the MHR1/2 domain of TRPM2 from zebrafish (Danio rerio) and show binding of both ligands to this domain. We identified a so-far unrecognized Zn2+-binding domain that was not resolved in previous cryo-EM structures and that is conserved in most TRPM channels. In combination with patch clamp experiments, we comprehensively characterize the effect of the Zn2+-binding domain on TRPM2 activation. Our results provide insight into a conserved structural element essential for channel activity.
