Mutation of I696 and W697 in the TRP box of vanilloid receptor subtype I modulates allosteric channel activation
The transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor subtype I (TRPV1) channel acts as a polymodal sensory receptor gated by chemical and physical stimuli. Like other TRP channels, TRPV1 contains in its C terminus a short, conserved domain called the TRP box, which is necessary for channel gating. Substitution of two TRP box residues-I696 and W697-with Ala markedly affects TRPV1's response to al...
متن کاملIdentification of molecular determinants of channel gating in the transient receptor potential box of vanilloid receptor I.
Transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor subtype I (TRPV1) is an ion channel gated by physical and chemical stimuli that belongs to the TRPV protein family. TRPV receptors contain a highly conserved, 6-mer segment near the channel gate, known as the TRP box, whose function remains unknown. Here, we performed an alanine scanning mutagenesis of the TRP box of TRPV1 (IWKLQR) and found that ...
متن کاملIdentification of a tetramerization domain in the C terminus of the vanilloid receptor.
TRPV1 (transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor subtype 1) is a member of the TRP channel family gated by vanilloids, protons, and heat. Structurally, TRPV1 appears to be a tetramer formed by the assembly of four identical subunits around a central aqueous pore. The molecular determinants that govern its subunit oligomerization remain elusive. Here, we report the identification of a segm...

The main purpose of the present investigation is the study of therapeutically effect of Zotepine in schizophrenia disease treatment. In first step, the molecular structure of the said compound is optimized using density functional theory (DFT) technique by B3LYP functional method at 6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. Then the electronic properties of the title molecule are calculated using frontier...
متن کاملChanges in TRP Channels Expression in Painful Conditions
Over the last fifteen years after the successful cloning of the first nociceptive Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channel, TRP Vanilloid 1, other members of the TRP channel family have been cloned, characterized and implicated in different modalities of pain. Tremendous progress has been made with regard to the specific role of these TRP channels in nociception using electrophysiological and...
