Transient receptor potential mucolipin subfamily 1 (TRPML1) is a nonselective cation channel mainly located in late endosomes and lysosomes. Mutations of the gene encoding human TRPML1 can cause severe lysosomal diseases. The activity of TRPML1 is regulated by both Ca2+ and H+, which are important for its critical physiological functions in membrane trafficking, exocytosis, autophagy, and intracellular signal transduction. However, the molecular mechanism of its dual regulation by Ca2+ and H+ remains elusive. Here, using a mutant screening method in combination with a whole-cell patch clamp technique, we identified a key TRPML1 residue, Asp-472, responsible for both fast calcium-dependent inactivation (FCDI) and slow calcium-dependent inactivation (SCDI) as well as H+ regulation. We also found that, in acidic pH, H+ can significantly delay FCDI and abolish SCDI and thereby presumably facilitate the ion conductance of the human TRPML1 channel. In summary, we have identified a key residue critical for Ca2+-induced inhibition of TRPML1 channel currents and uncovered pH-dependent regulation of this channel, providing vital information regarding the detailed mechanism of action of human TRPML1.
