Human TRPC5 structures reveal interaction of a xanthine-based TRPC1/4/5 inhibitor with a conserved lipid binding site

Wright et al. report the first structure of a human TRPC1/4/5 channel in complex with a xanthine-based TRPC5 inhibitor Pico145. They find that Pico145 binds to a conserved lipid binding site of TRPC5, where it displaces a phospholipid. This study provides insights into the mechanism-of-action of xan...
