Here, we demonstrate that weak carbonic acids, including acetic acid, lactic acid, and CO activate and sensitize TRPV2 through a mechanism requiring permeation through the cell membrane. TRPV2 channels in cell-free inside-out patches maintain weak acid-sensitivity, but protons applied on either side of the membrane do not induce channel activation or sensitization. The involvement of proton modulation sites for weak acid-sensitivity was supported by the identification of titratable extracellular (Glu495, Glu561) and intracellular (His521) residues on a cryo-EM structure of rat TRPV2 (rTRPV2) treated with acetic acid. Molecular dynamics simulations as well as patch clamp experiments on mutant rTRPV2 constructs confirmed that these residues are critical for weak acid-sensitivity. We also demonstrate that the pore residue Glu609 dictates an inhibition of weak acid-induced currents by extracellular calcium. Finally, TRPV2-expression in HEK293 cells is associated with an increased weak acid-induced cytotoxicity. Together, our data provide new insights into weak acids as endogenous modulators of TRPV2. |
