Gene: Abu_1752 (HUMAN) Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function [TXPR2_THRPR] Blocks both tetrodotoxin-sensitive and tetrodotoxin-resistant human voltage-gated sodium channels by shifting the voltage dependence of channel activation to more positive potentials. Inhibits Nav1.2/SCN2A, Nav1.3/SCN3A, Nav1.5/SCN5A, Nav1.6/SCN8A, Nav1.7/SCN9A, Nav1.8/SCN10A. Is significantly more potent against Nav1.7/SCN9A than the other Nav channel subtypes. Has no significant effect on Kv1.2/KCNA2, Kv1.3/KCNA3, Kv1.5/KCNA5, and Kv2.1/KCNB1 channels. Also inhibits Cav1.2/CACNA1C and Cav3.1/CACNA1G channels with an IC(50) around 100 nM. Does not bind to the pharmacologically defined Nav channel sites 3 or 4. Neutralization of gating charges in the voltage sensor (S4) of domain II of Nav1.2/SCN2A prevents the effect of the toxin on gating current. Thus, it has been suggested that the toxin acts by trapping the voltage sensor of Nav channel domain II in the resting state, impeding outward gating movement of the IIS4 transmembrane segment of the channel. Binds to phospholipids. Publication Abstract from PubMed Voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels are targets of disease mutations, toxins, and therapeutic drugs. Despite recent advances, the structural basis of voltage sensing, electromechanical coupling, and toxin modulation remains ill-defined. Protoxin-II (ProTx2) from the Peruvian green velvet tarantula is an inhibitor cystine-knot peptide and selective antagonist of the human Nav1.7 channel. Here, we visualize ProTx2 in complex with voltage-sensor domain II (VSD2) from Nav1.7 using X-ray crystallography and cryoelectron microscopy. Membrane partitioning orients ProTx2 for unfettered access to VSD2, where ProTx2 interrogates distinct features of the Nav1.7 receptor site. ProTx2 positions two basic residues into the extracellular vestibule to antagonize S4 gating-charge movement through an electrostatic mechanism. ProTx2 has trapped activated and deactivated states of VSD2, revealing a remarkable approximately 10 A translation of the S4 helix, providing a structural framework for activation gating in voltage-gated ion channels. Finally, our results deliver key templates to design selective Nav channel antagonists.
