Cryo-EM structure of the polycystic kidney disease-like channel PKD2L1

Polycystic kidney disease 2-like 1 protein (PKD2L1) is a voltage-dependent calcium-dependent nonselective ion channel involved in sour taste perception and regulation of pH-dependent action potential of spinal cord neurons. Here the authors present the 3.4 Å cryo-EM structure of PKD2L1 in the open s...

Description
Summary:Polycystic kidney disease 2-like 1 protein (PKD2L1) is a voltage-dependent calcium-dependent nonselective ion channel involved in sour taste perception and regulation of pH-dependent action potential of spinal cord neurons. Here the authors present the 3.4 Å cryo-EM structure of PKD2L1 in the open state and propose a model for the gating mechanism.
