The Saccharomyces cerevisiae vacuolar TRP yeast 1 (TRPY1) is the most studied TRP channel from fungi, but the structure and details of channel modulation remain elusive. Here, we describe the full-length cryoelectron microscopy structure of TRPY1 at 3.1 Å resolution in a closed state. The structure, despite containing an evolutionarily conserved and archetypical transmembrane domain, reveals distinctive structural folds for the cytosolic N and C termini, compared with other eukaryotic TRP channels. We identify an inhibitory phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI(3)P) lipid-binding site, along with two Ca-binding sites: a cytosolic site, implicated in channel activation and a vacuolar lumen site, implicated in inhibition. These findings, together with data from microsecond-long molecular dynamics simulations and a model of a TRPY1 open state, provide insights into the basis of TRPY1 channel modulation by lipids and Ca, and the molecular evolution of TRP channels. |
