- Nilius B, Prenen J, Janssens A, Voets T, Droogmans G. Decavanadate modulates gating of TRPM4 cation channels. J Physiol. 2004;560:753-65 pubmed..These results indicate that the C-terminus of TRPM4 is critically involved in mediating the DV effects. In conclusion, decavanadate modulates TRPM4, but not TRPM5, by inhibiting voltage-dependent closure of the channel. ..
- Nilius B, Prenen J, Tang J, Wang C, Owsianik G, Janssens A, et al. Regulation of the Ca2+ sensitivity of the nonselective cation channel TRPM4. J Biol Chem. 2005;280:6423-33 pubmed..Thus, the Ca(2+) sensitivity of TRPM4 is regulated by ATP, PKC-dependent phosphorylation, and calmodulin binding at the C terminus. ..
- Nilius B, Prenen J, Janssens A, Owsianik G, Wang C, Zhu M, et al. The selectivity filter of the cation channel TRPM4. J Biol Chem. 2005;280:22899-906 pubmed..Our findings delineate the selectivity filter of TRPM channels and provide the first insight into the molecular basis of monovalent cation selectivity. ..
- Nilius B, Mahieu F, Prenen J, Janssens A, Owsianik G, Vennekens R, et al. The Ca2+-activated cation channel TRPM4 is regulated by phosphatidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate. EMBO J. 2006;25:467-78 pubmed..Our data demonstrate that PIP2 is a strong positive modulator of TRPM4, and implicate the C-terminal PH domain in PIP2 action. PLC-mediated PIP2 breakdown may constitute a physiologically important brake on TRPM4 activity. ..
