Direct Interaction with Rab11a Targets the Epithelial Ca²⁺ Channels TRPV5 and TRPV6 to the Plasma Membrane

TRPV5 and TRPV6 are the most Ca²⁺-selective members of the transient receptor potential (TRP) family of cation channels and play a pivotal role in the maintenance of Ca²⁺ balance in the body. However, little is known about the mechanisms controlling the plasma membrane abundance of these channels to regulate epithelial Ca²⁺ transport. In this study, we demonstrated the direct and specific interaction of GDP-bound Rab11a with TRPV5 and TRPV6. Rab11a colocalized with TRPV5 and TRPV6 in vesicular structures underlying the apical plasma membrane of Ca²⁺-transporting epithelial cells. This GTPase recognized a conserved stretch in the carboxyl terminus of TRPV5 that is essential for channel trafficking. Furthermore, coexpression of GDP-locked Rab11a with TRPV5 or TRPV6 resulted in significantly decreased Ca²⁺ uptake, caused by diminished channel cell surface expression. Together, our data demonstrated the important role of Rab11a in the trafficking of TRPV5 and TRPV6. Rab11a exerts this function in a novel fashion, since it operates via direct cargo interaction while in the GDP-bound configuration.
