Ion channels are biological transistors that control ionic flux across cell membranes to regulate electrical transmission and signal transduction. They are found in all biological membranes and their conductive state kinetics are frequently disrupted

Polycystin subunits can form hetero- and homotetrameric ion channels in the membranes of various compartments of the cell. Homotetrameric polycystin channels are voltage- and calcium-modulated, whereas heterotetrameric versions are proposed to be lig

Voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels are crucial for action potential initiation in excitable cells. Here the authors present the complete structure of prokaryotic NavMs in a fully open state, providing structural insight into the opening and closure

Polycystins (PKD2, PKD2L1, and PKD2L2) are members of the transient receptor potential family, which form ciliary ion channels. Most notably, PKD2 dysregulation in the kidney nephron cilia is associated with polycystic kidney disease, but the functio

Mutations in the polycystin genes, PKD1 or PKD2, results in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD). Although a genetic basis of ADPKD is established, we lack a clear understanding of polycystin proteins’ functions as ion channels. Thi

Native PKD2-L1 channel subunits are present in primary cilia and other restricted cellular spaces. Here we investigate the mechanism for the channel's unusual regulation by external calcium, and rationalize this behavior to its specialized function.

Significance How do variants that cause autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) alter the structure and function of polycystin-2 channels? This 20-y-old question remains unanswered because polycystins traffic to organelle membranes, such
