    TRPM channels mediate learned pathogen avoidance following intestinal distention

    Adam Filipowicz, Jonathan Lalsiamthara, Alejandro Aballay
    Behavioral assays using Caenorhabditis elegans show that a learned pathogen avoidance following intestinal distention requires specific chemosensory neurons and TRPM channels in the intestine and excretory cell.

    Conservation of the cooling agent binding pocket within the TRPM subfamily

    Kate Huffer, Matthew CS Denley ... Kenton J Swartz
    The cooling agent pocket in TRPM8 is conserved in a subset of other TRPM channels and the cooling agent icilin can regulate opening of TRPM4 channels in response to calcium and voltage.

    Global alignment and assessment of TRP channel transmembrane domain structures to explore functional mechanisms

    Katherine E Huffer, Antoniya A Aleksandrova ... Kenton J Swartz
    Structure-based alignment of TRP channels enables comparison of structural changes, ion permeation pathways and ligand-binding sites and reveals over-representation of structures that represent non-conducting states.

    Gain-of-function variants in the ion channel gene TRPM3 underlie a spectrum of neurodevelopmental disorders

    Lydie Burglen, Evelien Van Hoeymissen ... Joris Vriens
    Newly identified gain-of-function variants indicate TRPM3 as the cause of a spectrum of autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorders with frequent cerebellar involvement in humans.

    Sequence and structural conservation reveal fingerprint residues in TRP channels

    Deny Cabezas-Bratesco, Francisco A Mcgee ... Sebastian E Brauchi
    Joint sequence, structure, and phylogenetic analyses identify highly conserved features in transmembrane domains of transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channel proteins that offer a novel explanation for how TRPs could integrate stimuli into cellular signals.

    Structure of a TRPM2 channel in complex with Ca2+ explains unique gating regulation

    Zhe Zhang, Balázs Tóth ... László Csanády
    The 3Å structure and correlated functional analysis of the TRPM2 cation channel from Nematostella vectensis shed light on the molecular mechanisms of TRPM2 regulation by intra- and extracellular Ca2+, and of inactivation of human TRPM2.

    miR-252 targeting temperature receptor CcTRPM to mediate the transition from summer-form to winter-form of Cacopsylla chinensis

    Songdou Zhang, Jianying Li ... Xiaoxia Liu
    The first comprehensive study on the regulation mechanism of miR-252 and temperature receptor CcTRPM on insect seasonal polyphenism will also conducive to designing a new method for pest control.

    Cholinergic modulation shifts the response of CA1 pyramidal cells to depolarizing ramps via TRPM4 channels with potential implications for place field firing

    Crescent L Combe, Carol M Upchurch ... Sonia Gasparini
    A nonspecific cation current mediated by TRPM4 channels is a major contributor to the increase in excitability induced by cholinergic modulation in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons, which are thought to play an important role in episodic memory.

    Structure of the human lipid-gated cation channel TRPC3

    Chen Fan, Wooyoung Choi ... Wei Lü
    Cryo-EM structure reveals architecture, lipid-binding sites, and ion-conducting pore of the human TRPC3 cation channel.

    The ion selectivity filter is not an activation gate in TRPV1-3 channels

    Andrés Jara-Oseguera, Katherine E Huffer, Kenton J Swartz
    The TRPV1, TRPV2 and TRPV3 channels are gated on the cytosolic side of the pore, whereas structural changes in the ion selectivity filter associated with activation don't control cation access.
