Structural basis for conductance through TRIC cation channels

Trimeric intracellular cation channels (TRICs) elicit K+ currents to counteract luminal negative potential during Ca2+release from intracellular stores. Here the authors present structures of prokaryotic TRICs in their open and closed states, obtaining molecular insight into TRICs’ function.
