Wasted TMEM16A channels are rescued by phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate Article uri icon

abstract

  • Recently there has been a flurry of interest in the regulation of the homo-dimeric calcium-activated chloride channel ANO1 (also known as TMEM16A) by phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2). These recent studies show that upon Ca2%2b binding, PI(4,5)P2 cooperates to maintain the conductive state of ANO1. PI(4,5)P2 does so by binding to sites or modules on the protein%27s cytosolic side. These findings add a new function to the PI(4,5)P2 repertoire and a new dimension to ANO1 gating. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd
