TRPV5 (Transient Receptor Potential cation channels, Vanilloid subfamily, member 5) plays a key role in active Ca2+ reabsorption in the kidney. Variations in TRPV5 occur at high frequency in African populations and may contribute to their higher efficiency in Ca2+ reabsorption. One of the African specific variations, A563T, exhibits increased Ca2+ transport ability. However, it is unclear how this variation influences the channel pore. Based on the structure of TRPV1, a TRPV5 model was generated to simulate the structural and dynamical changes induced by the A563T variation. Based on this model, amino-acid residue 563 interacts with V540, which is one residue away from the key residue D542 involved in Ca2+ selectivity and Mg2+ blockade. The A563T variation increases secondary structure stability and reduces dynamical motion of D542. In addition, the A563T variation alters electrostatic potential of the outer surface of the pore. Differences in contact between selective filter residues and residue 563 and in electrostatic potential between the two TRPV5 variants were also observed in another model derived from an alternative alignment in the selective filters between TRPV5 and TRPV1. These findings indicate that the A563T variation induces structural, dynamical, and electrostatic changes in the TRPV5 pore, providing a structural insight into the functional alterations associated with the A563T variation.
