This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing theresources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject andinvestigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source,and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed isfor the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator.The ion channels mediate calcium homeostasis and neuronal responses to many noxious sensory stimuli. All TRPV subfamily members contain an intracellular N-terminal ankyrin repeat domain (ARD) a prevalent protein-interaction motif. The goal of this project is to use a combination of biochemistry, functional assays and x-ray crystallography to uncover the regulatory roles and mechanisms of the ARD of TRPV channels.
