Fig. 3. IFH is stabilised in the state-1 structure of the dTRPA1-A isoform.

Fig. 3

a Zoomed views of the structure alignment between monomeric dTRPA1-A in two states. Monomers from state-1 and state-2 are coloured grey and marine blue, respectively. The IFH observed in state-1 is shown in magenta. b Zoomed views of the IFH and the IFH-loop. c Interactions between the pre-S1, S1 and TRP helices. Side chains of the surrounding structure are coloured by atom type, with carbon shown in yellow. Hydrogen bonds are indicated by red dashed lines. d Heat-induced current densities for WT dTRPA1-A and the IFH mutants. Independent experiments were repeated for at least four times for each construct (n = 6 for all, except K750A where n = 4; and D1085A, G749A and E1054A where n = 5). **P = 0.002, ***P < 0.0005, and ****P < 0.0001 for WT versus mutants (one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test). Data are mean ± s.e.m. e NMM-induced current densities at −60 mV for WT dTRPA1-A and the IFH mutants. Independent experiments were repeated six times for each construct (n = 6 for all). ns not significant, **P = 0.0016, and ****P < 0.0001 for WT versus mutants (one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test). Data are mean ± s.e.m.
