AbstractAutosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is caused by mutations in the membrane receptor PKD1 or the cation channel PKD2. TACAN (also termed TMEM120A), recently reported as an ion channel in neurons for mechanosensing and pain sensing, is also distributed in diverse non‐neuronal tissues, such as kidney, heart and intestine, suggesting its involvement in other functions. In this study, we found that TACAN is in a complex with PKD2 in native renal cell lines. Using the two‐electrode voltage clamp inXenopusoocytes, we found that TACAN inhibits the channel activity of PKD2 gain‐of‐function mutant F604P. TACAN fragments containing the first and last transmembrane domains interacted with the PKD2 C‐ and N‐terminal fragments, respectively. The TACAN N‐terminus acted as a blocking peptide, and TACAN inhibited the function of PKD2 by the binding of PKD2 with TACAN. By patch clamping in mammalian cells, we found that TACAN inhibits both the single‐channel conductance and the open probability of PKD2 and mutant F604P. PKD2 co‐expressed with TACAN, but not PKD2 alone, exhibited pressure sensitivity. Furthermore, we found that TACAN aggravates PKD2‐dependent tail curvature and pronephric cysts in larval zebrafish. In summary, this study revealed that TACAN acts as a PKD2 inhibitor and mediates mechanosensitivity of the PKD2–TACAN channel complex.Key pointsTACAN inhibits the function of PKD2in vitroandin vivo.TACAN N‐terminal S1‐containing fragment T160X interacts with the PKD2 C‐terminal fragment N580–L700, and its C‐terminal S6‐containing fragment L296–D343 interacts with the PKD2 N‐terminal A594X.TACAN inhibits the function of the PKD2 channel by physical interaction.The complex of PKD2 with TACAN, but not PKD2 alone, confers mechanosensitivity.
