The classical transient receptor potential channel 5 (TRPC5) is a molecular candidate for nonselective cation channel (NSCC) activated by muscarinic receptor stimulation whereas extracellular pH inhibits or enhances NSCC activated by muscarinic receptor stimulation depending on extracellular cation compositions in native tissues. We investigated the effect of extracellular pH on TRPC5 and determined amino acid residues responsible for sensing extracellular pH. Extracellular acidosis inhibits TRPC5 with pK(a) of 6.24. Under 50 mM intracellular HEPES buffer condition, extracellular acidosis inhibits TRPC5 with pK(a) of 5.40. We changed titratable amino acids (C, D, E, H, K, R, Y) to nontitratable amino acids (A, N, Q, N, N, N, F) within pore region between transmembrane segments 5 and 6 in order to determine the residues sensing extracellular pH. Glutamate (at the position 543, 595, and 598), aspartate (at the position 548) and lysine (at the position 554) were responsible for sensing extracellular pH. The effect of extracellular pH in TRPC5 was also dependent on the composition of extracellular monovalent cations. In conclusion, TRPC5 is a molecular candidate for NSCC activated by muscarinic receptor stimulation, has glutamate amino acid residues responsible for sensing extracellular pH, and has a unique gating property depending on the composition of extracellular monovalent cations.
