Interaction between the transcriptional corepressor Sin3B and voltage-gated sodium channels modulates functional channel expression.

ABSTRACT: Proteins that interact with voltage-gated sodium (Na(v)) channels are important in channel sorting and modulation. In this study, we identified the transcriptional regulator, Sin3B, as a novel binding partner of Na(v) channels in a yeast two-hybrid screen and confirmed the interaction using pull-down assays, co-immunoprecipitation, and immunofluorescence-colocalization. Because both long (~1100-residue) and short (N-terminal 293 residues) Sin3B variants interacted with Na(v) channels, binding occurred within the N-terminal region containing two paired-amphipathic helix domains. In Na(v) channels, Sin3B bound to a 132-residue portion of the cytoplasmic C-terminus. Expression of the short Sin3B variant strongly reduced native sodium current and Na(v)-channel gating charge in the neuronal cell line N1E-115, without affecting the voltage-dependence of activation. Because the total amount of channel protein was unchanged by Sin3B, binding of Sin3B likely decreases the number of channels in the plasma membrane, suggesting that interaction with Sin3B influences Na(v)-channel trafficking or stability in the membrane.

Modulation of voltage-gated K+ channels by the sodium channel β1 subunit.

Project description:Voltage-gated sodium (Na(V)) and potassium (K(V)) channels are critical components of neuronal action potential generation and propagation. Here, we report that Na(V)β1 encoded by SCN1b, an integral subunit of Na(V) channels, coassembles with and modulates the biophysical properties of K(V)1 and K(V)7 channels, but not K(V)3 channels, in an isoform-specific manner. Distinct domains of Na(V)β1 are involved in modulation of the different K(V) channels. Studies with channel chimeras demonstrate that Na(V)β1-mediated changes in activation kinetics and voltage dependence of activation require interaction of Na(V)β1 with the channel's voltage-sensing domain, whereas changes in inactivation and deactivation require interaction with the channel's pore domain. A molecular model based on docking studies shows Na(V)β1 lying in the crevice between the voltage-sensing and pore domains of K(V) channels, making significant contacts with the S1 and S5 segments. Cross-modulation of Na(V) and K(V) channels by Na(V)β1 may promote diversity and flexibility in the overall control of cellular excitability and signaling.

Voltage sensor interaction site for selective small molecule inhibitors of voltage-gated sodium channels.

Project description:Voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels play a fundamental role in the generation and propagation of electrical impulses in excitable cells. Here we describe two unique structurally related nanomolar potent small molecule Nav channel inhibitors that exhibit up to 1,000-fold selectivity for human Nav1.3/Nav1.1 (ICA-121431, IC50, 19 nM) or Nav1.7 (PF-04856264, IC50, 28 nM) vs. other TTX-sensitive or resistant (i.e., Nav1.5) sodium channels. Using both chimeras and single point mutations, we demonstrate that this unique class of sodium channel inhibitor interacts with the S1-S4 voltage sensor segment of homologous Domain 4. Amino acid residues in the "extracellular" facing regions of the S2 and S3 transmembrane segments of Nav1.3 and Nav1.7 seem to be major determinants of Nav subtype selectivity and to confer differences in species sensitivity to these inhibitors. The unique interaction region on the Domain 4 voltage sensor segment is distinct from the structural domains forming the channel pore, as well as previously characterized interaction sites for other small molecule inhibitors, including local anesthetics and TTX. However, this interaction region does include at least one amino acid residue [E1559 (Nav1.3)/D1586 (Nav1.7)] that is important for Site 3 α-scorpion and anemone polypeptide toxin modulators of Nav channel inactivation. The present study provides a potential framework for identifying subtype selective small molecule sodium channel inhibitors targeting interaction sites away from the pore region.

Annotation of functional impact of voltage-gated sodium channel mutations.

Project description:Voltage-gated sodium channels are pore-forming transmembrane proteins that selectively allow sodium ions to flow across the plasma membrane according to the electro-chemical gradient thus mediating the rising phase of action potentials in excitable cells and playing key roles in physiological processes such as neurotransmission, skeletal muscle contraction, heart rhythm, and pain sensation. Genetic variations in the nine human genes encoding these channels are known to cause a large range of diseases affecting the nervous and cardiac systems. Understanding the molecular effect of genetic variations is critical for elucidating the pathologic mechanisms of known variations and in predicting the effect of newly discovered ones. To this end, we have created a Web-based tool, the Ion Channels Variants Portal, which compiles all variants characterized functionally in the human sodium channel genes. This portal describes 672 variants each associated with at least one molecular or clinical phenotypic impact, for a total of 4,658 observations extracted from 264 different research articles. These data were captured as structured annotations using standardized vocabularies and ontologies, such as the Gene Ontology and the Ion Channel ElectroPhysiology Ontology. All these data are available to the scientific community via neXtProt at https://www.nextprot.org/portals/navmut.

Functional interaction between S1 and S4 segments in voltage-gated sodium channels revealed by human channelopathies.

Project description:The p.I141V mutation of the voltage-gated sodium channel is associated with several clinical hyper-excitability phenotypes. To understand the structural bases of the p.I141V biophysical alterations, molecular dynamics simulations were performed. These simulations predicted that the p.I141V substitution induces the formation of a hydrogen bond between the Y168 residue of the S2 segment and the R225 residue of the S4 segment. We generated a p.I141V-Y168F double mutant for both the Nav1.4 and Nav1.5 channels. The double mutants demonstrated the abolition of the functional effects of the p.I141V mutation, consistent with the formation of a specific interaction between Y168-S2 and R225-S4. The single p.Y168F mutation, however, positively shifted the activation curve, suggesting a compensatory role of these residues on the stability of the voltage-sensing domain.

Protonation state of inhibitors determines interaction sites within voltage-gated sodium channels.

Project description:Voltage-gated sodium channels are essential for carrying electrical signals throughout the body, and mutations in these proteins are responsible for a variety of disorders, including epilepsy and pain syndromes. As such, they are the target of a number of drugs used for reducing pain or combatting arrhythmias and seizures. However, these drugs affect all sodium channel subtypes found in the body. Designing compounds to target select sodium channel subtypes will provide a new therapeutic pathway and would maximize treatment efficacy while minimizing side effects. Here, we examine the binding preferences of nine compounds known to be sodium channel pore blockers in molecular dynamics simulations. We use the approach of replica exchange solute tempering (REST) to gain a more complete understanding of the inhibitors' behavior inside the pore of NavMs, a bacterial sodium channel, and NavPas, a eukaryotic sodium channel. Using these simulations, we are able to show that both charged and neutral compounds partition into the bilayer, but neutral forms more readily cross it. We show that there are two possible binding sites for the compounds: (i) a site on helix 6, which has been previously determined by many experimental and computational studies, and (ii) an additional site, occupied by protonated compounds in which the positively charged part of the drug is attracted into the selectivity filter. Distinguishing distinct binding poses for neutral and charged compounds is essential for understanding the nature of pore block and will aid the design of subtype-selective sodium channel inhibitors.

Calmodulin Interactions with Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels.

Project description:Calmodulin (CaM) is a small protein that acts as a ubiquitous signal transducer and regulates neuronal plasticity, muscle contraction, and immune response. It interacts with ion channels and plays regulatory roles in cellular electrophysiology. CaM modulates the voltage-gated sodium channel gating process, alters sodium current density, and regulates sodium channel protein trafficking and expression. Many mutations in the CaM-binding IQ domain give rise to diseases including epilepsy, autism, and arrhythmias by interfering with CaM interaction with the channel. In the present review, we discuss CaM interactions with the voltage-gated sodium channel and modulators involved in CaM regulation, as well as summarize CaM-binding IQ domain mutations associated with human diseases in the voltage-gated sodium channel family.

Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels as Insecticide Targets.

Project description:Voltage-gated sodium channels are critical for the generation and propagation of action potentials. They are the primary target of several classes of insecticides, including DDT, pyrethroids and sodium channel blocker insecticides (SCBIs). DDT and pyrethroids preferably bind to open sodium channels and stabilize the open state, causing prolonged currents. In contrast, SCBIs block sodium channels by binding to the inactivated state. Many sodium channel mutations are associated with knockdown resistance (kdr) to DDT and pyrethroids in diverse arthropod pests. Functional characterization of kdr mutations together with computational modelling predicts dual pyrethroid receptor sites on sodium channels. In contrast, the molecular determinants of the SCBI receptor site remain largely unknown. In this review, we summarize current knowledge about the molecular mechanisms of action of pyrethroids and SCBIs, and highlight the differences in the molecular interaction of these insecticides with insect versus mammalian sodium channels.

Cannabidiol interactions with voltage-gated sodium channels.

Project description:Voltage-gated sodium channels are targets for a range of pharmaceutical drugs developed for the treatment of neurological diseases. Cannabidiol (CBD), the non-psychoactive compound isolated from cannabis plants, was recently approved for treatment of two types of epilepsy associated with sodium channel mutations. This study used high-resolution X-ray crystallography to demonstrate the detailed nature of the interactions between CBD and the NavMs voltage-gated sodium channel, and electrophysiology to show the functional effects of binding CBD to these channels. CBD binds at a novel site at the interface of the fenestrations and the central hydrophobic cavity of the channel. Binding at this site blocks the transmembrane-spanning sodium ion translocation pathway, providing a molecular mechanism for channel inhibition. Modelling studies suggest why the closely-related psychoactive compound tetrahydrocannabinol may not have the same effects on these channels. Finally, comparisons are made with the TRPV2 channel, also recently proposed as a target site for CBD. In summary, this study provides novel insight into a possible mechanism for CBD interactions with sodium channels.

Neurological perspectives on voltage-gated sodium channels.

Project description:The activity of voltage-gated sodium channels has long been linked to disorders of neuronal excitability such as epilepsy and chronic pain. Recent genetic studies have now expanded the role of sodium channels in health and disease, to include autism, migraine, multiple sclerosis, cancer as well as muscle and immune system disorders. Transgenic mouse models have proved useful in understanding the physiological role of individual sodium channels, and there has been significant progress in the development of subtype selective inhibitors of sodium channels. This review will outline the functions and roles of specific sodium channels in electrical signalling and disease, focusing on neurological aspects. We also discuss recent advances in the development of selective sodium channel inhibitors.
