Citation | Journal: Nat Commun / Year: 2026Title: Conformational landscape and ligand-dependent clustering of the human type 2 IP receptor. Authors: Caifeng Liu / Yu-Jing Lan / Max G Kushner / Qingyu Tang / Erkan Karakas / ![]() Abstract: Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP) receptors (IPRs) are tetrameric ER Ca channels that shape intracellular Ca signaling in response to IP, regulating diverse physiological processes. The structural ...Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP) receptors (IPRs) are tetrameric ER Ca channels that shape intracellular Ca signaling in response to IP, regulating diverse physiological processes. The structural basis for subtype-specific regulation among the three subtypes (IPR-1-3) remains incompletely understood due to the lack of IPR-2 structures. Here, we report cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of human IPR-2 in distinct conformations in the presence and absence of IP, Ca, and ATP. These structures define the conformational landscape of IPR-2, delineate ligand-binding interactions, and reveal shared architectural features alongside isoform-specific differences. We also resolve ligand-dependent IPR-2 assemblies, identifying a conformation-dependent inter-channel interface. Live-cell imaging demonstrates that IPR-2 undergoes clustering following ligand-induced Ca release, and disruption of this interface selectively abolishes clustering without impairing channel activity. Together, these findings provide a structural framework for human IPR-2 and establish a mechanism linking ligand-dependent conformational changes to inter-channel interactions and post-activation cellular clustering. | |||||||||
