The TMC protein family has eight members in vertebrates and forms three subfamilies, A, B, and C. TMCs are proteins with a conserved core of eight membrane-spanning domains.
On the basis of comparative structural predictions of all mammalian TMCs we propose a basic topology of the generic TMC protein with variable intracellular amino- and carboxyl-termini, a conserved core with eight membrane-spanning domains, and some variability in the length of several intra- and extracellular loops (Figure 2).
Molecular modeling suggested that this 'retention' motif - ExxHxR in the first and ExxNxR in the third membrane-spanning region - within all LHCPs and related proteins provides two ligands for Chl, an ion-pair between Glu (E) and Arg (R) and the sidechain of either His (H) or Asn (N).
Thus, all GOLD-domain proteins can be divided into two architectural categories: the p24-like category, in which the GOLD domains project into the lumen, anchored in the membrane by the membrane-spanning helix (category 1); and proteins in which the GOLD domain occurs at the extreme amino or carboxyl terminus, with additional domains that are known to interact with lipid membranes (category 2) (Figure 2).
The VR1 channel is a member of the superfamily of ion channels with six membrane-spanning domains, with highest homology to the trp family of ion channels.
