IPRs are co-activated by IP and Ca, inhibited by Ca at high concentrations, and potentiated by ATP. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear. Here we report cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of human type-3 IPR obtained from a single dataset in multiple gating conformations: IP-ATP bound pre-active states with closed channels, IP-ATP-Ca bound active state with an open channel, and IP-ATP-Ca bound inactive state with a closed channel. The structures demonstrate how IP-induced conformational changes prime the receptor for activation by Ca, how Ca binding leads to channel opening, and how ATP modulates the activity, providing insights into the long-sought questions regarding the molecular mechanism underpinning receptor activation and gating. |
