Abstract
Noxious heat (> 42°C) and capsaicin are two well-known stimuli for nociception. Our ability to sense noxious heat and spiciness is owed to the transient receptor potential vanilloid member 1 (TRPV1), a calcium-permeable ion channel expressed in primary sensory nerve terminals. TRPV1 also serves as a sensor for other vanilloid compounds and is a member of the TRP channel superfamily. Here we present six high-resolution cryo-EM structures of apo and capsaicin-bound full-length TRPV1 reconstituted into lipid nanodiscs over a range of temperatures.
