Calmodulin (CaM) is known to modulate the inactivation kinetics of NaV1.6 by interacting with its IQ motif. Here we report the crystal structure of apo-CaM:NaV1.6IQ motif, along with functional studies. The IQ motif of NaV1.6 adopts an alpha-helical conformation in its interaction with the C-lobe of CaM. CaM uses different residues to interact with NaV1.6IQ motif depending on the presence or absence of Ca(2+). Three residues from NaV1.6, Arg1902, Tyr1904 and Arg1905 were identified as the key common interacting residues in both the presence and absence of Ca(2+). Substitution of Arg1902 and Tyr1904 with alanine showed a reduced rate of NaV1.6 inactivation in electrophysiological experiments in vivo. Compared with other CaM:NaV complexes, our results reveal a different mode of interaction for CaM:NaV1.6 and provides structural insight into the isoform-specific modulation of VGSCs.
