TRPM1 N-terminus binds calcium binding protein S100A1.
Formation of TRPM1/S100A1 complex is facilitated through interactions of clusters positively charged (K271A, R273A, R274A) and hydrophobic (L263A, V270A, L276A) residues.
TRPM1 N-terminal domain distinctly does not change the secondary structure content upon S100A1 binding.
Molecular model describes potential molecular mechanism of TRPM1/S100A1 complex formation.
