PIP2 binding sites in TRP channels. (A) TRPV5 with PIP2 (pdb 6dmu) and TRPV5 without PIP2 (pdb 5irx). R302 and R384 are predicted to interact with the PIP2 headgroup. Binding of PIP2 is associated with outward movement of the S4-S5 linker and S6 away from the pore axis. (B) TRPM8 with PIP2 and icilin (pdb 6nr3) and TRPM8 with low occupancy icilin (pdb 6nr4). K605, R850, and R997 are predicted to interact with the PIP2 headgroup. Binding of the agonist icilin with high occupancy (not shown in this image) is associated with tilting of the TRP domain and movement of S4 (S4b) and S5, which brings R850 and R997 near the PIP2 headgroup.
