== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels sense membrane potential and drive cellular electrical activity. The deathstalker scorpion alpha-toxin LqhalphaIT exerts a strong action potential prolonging effect on Nav channels. To elucidate the mechanism of action of LqhalphaIT, we determined a 3.9 A cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of LqhalphaIT in complex with the Nav channel from Periplaneta americana (NavPas). We found that LqhalphaIT binds to voltage sensor domain 4 and traps it in an "S4 down" conformation. The functionally essential C-terminal epitope of LqhalphaIT forms an extensive interface with the glycan scaffold linked to Asn330 of NavPas that augments a small protein-protein interface between NavPas and LqhalphaIT. A combination of molecular dynamics simulations, structural comparisons, and prior mutagenesis experiments demonstrates the functional importance of this toxin-glycan interaction. These findings establish a structural basis for the specificity achieved by scorpion alpha-toxins and reveal the conserved glycan as an essential component of the toxin-binding epitope.
