摘要
Transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels function as cation channels. In a previous study, we identified the molecular determinants involved in promoting TRPC subunit assembly. In the present study, we used size-exclusion chromatography assays to show that the N-terminus of TRPC4 can self-associate and form a tetramer in cellulo. We further showed that the N-terminus of TRPC4 self-associates via the ankyrin repeat domain and the region downstream from the coiled-coil domain. GST pull-down, yeast two-hybrid, and circular dichroism approaches demonstrated that both domains can self-associate. These findings indicated that the self-association of two distinct domains in the N-terminus of TRPC4 is involved in the assembly of the tetrameric channel. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
