Abstract
|
 |
|
There is enormous interest toward vanilloid agonists of the pain receptor TRPV1
in analgesic therapy, but the mechanisms of their sensory neuron-blocking
effects at high or repeated doses are still a matter of debate. Our results have
demonstrated that capsaicin and resiniferatoxin form nanomolar complexes with
calmodulin, and competitively inhibit TRPV1-calmodulin interaction. These
interactions involve the protein recognition interface of calmodulin, which is
responsible for all of the cell-regulatory calmodulin-protein interactions.
These results draw attention to a previously unknown vanilloid target, which may
contribute to the explanation of the paradoxical pain-modulating behavior of
these important pharmacons.
