Function[CAHM2_HUMAN] Pore-forming subunit of a voltage-gated ion channel.[UniProtKB:Q8IU99] Publication Abstract from PubMedCalcium homeostasis modulator (CALHM) family proteins are Ca(2+)-regulated adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-release channels involved in neural functions including neurotransmission in gustation. Here, we present the cryo-electron microscopy (EM) structures of killifish CALHM1, human CALHM2, and Caenorhabditis elegans CLHM-1 at resolutions of 2.66, 3.4, and 3.6 A, respectively. The CALHM1 octamer structure reveals that the N-terminal helix forms the constriction site at the channel pore in the open state and modulates the ATP conductance. The CALHM2 undecamer and CLHM-1 nonamer structures show the different oligomeric stoichiometries among CALHM homologs. We further report the cryo-EM structures of the chimeric construct, revealing that the intersubunit interactions at the transmembrane domain (TMD) and the TMD-intracellular domain linker define the oligomeric stoichiometry. These findings advance our understanding of the ATP conduction and oligomerization mechanisms of CALHM channels.
