TRPM2 is a non-selective, Ca2+-permeable cation channel, which plays a role in cell death but also contributes to diverse immune cell functions. In addition, TRPM2 contributes to the control of body temperature and is involved in perception of non-noxious heat and thermotaxis. TRPM2 is regulated by many factors including Ca2+, ADPR, 2'-deoxy-ADPR, Ca2+-CaM, and temperature. However, the molecular basis for the temperature sensitivity of TRPM2 as well as the interplay between the regulatory factors is still not understood. Here we identify a novel CaM-binding site in the unique NudT9H domain of TRPM2. Using a multipronged biophysical approach we show that binding of Ca2+-CaM to this site occurs upon partial unfolding at temperatures >35â¯Â°C and prevents further thermal destabilization. In combination with patch-clamp measurements of full-length TRPM2 our results suggest a role of this CaM-binding site in the temperature sensitivity of TRPM2.
