Journal: Commun Biol / Year: 2025 Title: Molecular basis of TRPV3 channel blockade by intracellular polyamines. Authors: Jingying Zhang / Peng Yuan / Colin G Nichols / Grigory Maksaev / Abstract: ThermoTRPV1-4 channels are involved in the regulation of multiple physiological processes, including thermo- and pain perception, thermoregulation, itch, and nociception and therefore tight control ...ThermoTRPV1-4 channels are involved in the regulation of multiple physiological processes, including thermo- and pain perception, thermoregulation, itch, and nociception and therefore tight control of their activity is a critical requirement for correct perception of noxious stimuli and pain. We previously reported a voltage-dependent inhibition of TRPV1-4 channels by intracellular polyamines that could be explained by high affinity spermine binding in, and passage through, the permeation path. Here, using electrophysiology and cryo-electron microscopy, we elucidate molecular details of TRPV3 blockade by endogenous spermine and its analog NASPM. We identify a high-affinity polyamine interaction site at the intracellular side of the pore, formed by residues E679 and E682, with no significant contribution of residues at the channel selectivity filter. A cryo-EM structure of TRPV3 in the presence of NASPM reveals conformational changes coupled to polyamine blockade. Paradoxically, although the TRPV3 'gating switch' is in the 'activated' configuration, the pore is closed at both gates. A modified blocking model, in which spermine interacts with the cytoplasmic entrance to the channel, from which spermine may permeate, or cause closure of the channel, provides a unifying explanation for electrophysiological and structural data and furnishes the essential background for further exploitation of this regulatory process.
In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
