Article Snippet: We used the backbone of the promoter-less plasmid KAM05_attB_mCherry, which was a gift from Doug Fowler (University of Washington), to onboard a synthetic gene sequence coding for the rat TRPM8 and an upstream partial Internal Ribosome Entry Site (IRES2) sequence using Twist Bioscience gene synthesis service.

(A) Cartoon representation of the experimental strategy used in this study. Libraries were generated from a pooled oligo library containing fragments coding for each type of single-residue missense variant within positions 927-974 of the rat TRPM8 channel. Oligo fragments were PCR-amplified and cloned into ‘acceptor’ expression plasmids by Golden Gate cloning using BsmBI sites . (B) The plasmid library was expressed in iCasp9 cells , and cells expressing mCherry were sorted by flow cytometry into groups of low, medium, or high GCaMP6s fluorescence intensity after stimulation with cold or 2 mM menthol. The genomic DNA was extracted from the sorted cells, from which the TRPM8 coding region was amplified by PCR, cleaved by a restriction endonuclease to reduce amplicon size, and prepared for next-generation sequencing. (C) NGS read counts per variant in the plasmid library, showing homogenous variant representation. (D) mCherry fluorescence intensity distribution in the library cells that were sorted. (E) GCaMP6s fluorescence intensity distribution of the library cells, measured at room temperature (dashed black curves, not sorted), or after stimulation with cold (blue) or 2 mM menthol (green) during cell sorting. Dashed red lines denote the three cell-sorting bins. (F) Deep mutational scanning score distribution for cold and menthol experiments. (G) Correlation between individual variant scores from two biological replicates. (H) GCaMP6s fluorescence responses in four silent mutations included in the library (gray traces) relative to cells expressing WT.

(F) Cartoon illustrating how open state-dependent (green arrows) and -independent (black arrows) contacts that stabilize S6 helices in the open state of TRPM8 go from weaker (left, dashed arrows) to stronger (right, filled arrows) as the temperature decreases. (G) The S6 helices in heat-activated TRPM channels are stabilized by a larger proportion of state-independent contacts, making the helices and pore less dynamic.

(A) Map of state-dependent and independent residue-residue contacts involving the upper portion of the S6 helix and the rest of the protein, identified in closed and open-state structures of the TRPM2 (PDB: 6DRJ, 6DRK ) and TRPM4 (PDB: 9MRT, 9MTA ; 9B8Y , 6BQR ) channels. Each color square on the map represents one residue-residue contact and the color of the square denotes its state dependence. The heatmap on the bottom insert denotes the number of total atomic contacts between each residue in the S6 and other residues in the rest of the protein. The portion of S6 that was included in this analysis was determined based on the amino acid sequence alignment between TRPM8 and the other channels . (B) Median variant pathogenicity score obtained from scaled AlphaMissense predictions for all variants per position for the human TRPM2 (yellow), TRPM4 (magenta), and TRPM5 channels (purple), compared with the scaled predictions for TRPM8 (black) as well as the experimental scaled scores for cold (blue) and menthol (green). The shading is the SEM across the difference scores for the 19 variants per position.
