The structural basis of these disease mutations, however, remains elusive. Here, we focused on three mutations that all substitute threonine residues in the alpha-helical S4-S5 intracellular linker that connects the voltage sensor to the pore: Na(V)1.7/I234T, Na(V)1.7/I848T, and Na(V)1.7/S241T in order of their positions in the amino acid sequence within the S4-S5 linkers. Introduction of these IEM mutations into the ancestral bacterial sodium channel Na(V)Ab recapitulated the pathogenic gain-of-function of these mutants by inducing a negative shift in the voltage dependence of activation and slowing the kinetics of inactivation. Remarkably, our structural analysis reveals a common mechanism of action among the three mutations, in which the mutant threonine residues create new hydrogen bonds between the S4-S5 linker and the pore-lining S5 or S6 segment in the pore module. Because the S4-S5 linkers couple voltage sensor movements to pore opening, these newly formed hydrogen bonds would stabilize the activated state substantially and thereby promote the 8 to 18 mV negative shift in the voltage dependence of activation that is characteristic of the Na(V)1.7 IEM mutants. Our results provide key structural insights into how IEM mutations in the S4-S5 linkers may cause hyperexcitability of Na(V)1.7 and lead to severe pain in this debilitating disease.
