The bacterial sodium channel NaVAb activates at very negative membrane potentials and inactivates through a multiphase slow-inactivation mechanism. Early voltage-dependent inactivation during one depolarization is followed by late use-dependent inactivation during repetitive depolarization. Mutations that change the molecular volume of Thr206 in the pore-lining S6 segment can enhance or strongly block early voltage-dependent inactivation, suggesting that this residue serves as a molecular hub controlling the coupling of activation to inactivation. In contrast, truncation of the C-terminal tail enhances the early phase of inactivation yet completely blocks late use-dependent inactivation. Determination of the structure of a C-terminal tail truncation mutant and molecular modeling of conformational changes at Thr206 and the S6 activation gate led to a two-step model of these gating processes. First, bending of the S6 segment, local protein interactions dependent on the size of Thr206, and exchange of hydrogen-bonding partners at the level of Thr206 trigger pore opening followed by the early phase of voltage-dependent inactivation. Thereafter, conformational changes in the C-terminal tail lead to late use-dependent inactivation. These results have important implications for the sequence of conformational changes that lead to multiphase inactivation of NaVAb and other sodium channels.
