Molecular dynamics simulations may be used to probe the interactions of membrane proteins with lipids and with detergents at atomic resolution. Examples of such simulations for ion channels and for bacterial outer membrane proteins are described. Comparison of simulations of KcsA (an α-helical bundle) and OmpA (a β-barrel) reveals the importance of two classes of side chains in stabilizing interactions with the head groups of lipid molecules: (i) tryptophan and tyrosine; and (ii) arginine and lysine. Arginine residues interacting with lipid phosphate groups play an important role in stabilizing the voltage-sensor domain of the KvAP channel within a bilayer. Simulations of the bacterial potassium channel KcsA reveal specific interactions of phosphatidylglycerol with an acidic lipid-binding site at the interface between adjacent protein monomers. A combination of molecular modelling and simulation reveals a potential phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate-binding site on the surface of Kir6.2.

AbstractTRPC1/4/5 channels are non-specific cation channels implicated in a wide variety of diseases, and TRPC1/4/5 inhibitors have recently entered clinical trials. However, fundamental and translational studies require a better understanding of TRPC1/4/5 channel regulation by endogenous and exogenous factors. Although several potent and selective TRPC1/4/5 modulators have been reported, the paucity of mechanistic insights into their modes-of-action remains a barrier to the development of new chemical probes and drug candidates. Xanthine-based modulators include the most potent and selective TRPC1/4/5 inhibitors described to date, as well as TRPC5 activators. Our previous studies suggest that xanthines interact with a, so far, elusive pocket of TRPC1/4/5 channels that is essential to channel gating. Here we report the structure of a small-molecule-bound TRPC1/4/5 channel—human TRPC5 in complex with the xanthine Pico145—to 3.0 Å. We found that Pico145 binds to a conserved lipid binding site of TRPC5, where it displaces a bound phospholipid. Our findings explain the mode-of-action of xanthine-based TRPC1/4/5 modulators, and suggest a structural basis for TRPC1/4/5 modulation by endogenous factors such as (phospho)lipids and Zn2+ ions. These studies lay the foundations for the structure-based design of new generations of TRPC1/4/5 modulators.
