Summary

This work suggests a hypothetical molecular mechanism for TRPV1 activation, which involves rotation of a conserved asparagine in S6 from a position facing the S4–S5 linker toward the pore, and shows that this proposed molecular mechanism is compatible with the prevailing theory that the selectivity filter acts as a secondary gate in TRpV1.
