Abstract

Mammalian homologues of Drosophila Trp form plasma membrane channels that mediate Ca 2+ influx in response to activation of phospholipase C and internal Ca 2+ store depletion. Previous studies showed that human Trp3 is activated by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP 3 ) receptors (IP 3 Rs) and identified interacting domains, one on Trp and two on IP 3 R. We now find that Trp3 binds Ca 2+ -calmodulin (Ca 2+ /CaM) at a site that overlaps with the IP 3 R binding domain. Using patch-clamp recordings from inside-out patches, we further show that Trp3 has a high intrinsic activity that is suppressed by Ca 2+ /CaM under resting conditions, and that Trp3 is activated by the following: a Trp-binding peptide from IP 3 R that displaces CaM from Trp3, a myosin light chain kinase Ca 2+ /CaM binding peptide that prevents CaM from binding to Trp3, and calmidazolium, an inactivator of Ca 2+ /CaM. We conclude that inhibition of the inhibitory action of CaM is a key step of Trp3 channel activation by IP 3 Rs.
