FunctionFGF12_HUMAN Probably involved in nervous system development and function. Publication Abstract from PubMedCa(2+) regulates voltage-gated Na(+) (NaV) channels, and perturbed Ca(2+) regulation of NaV function is associated with epilepsy syndromes, autism and cardiac arrhythmias. Understanding the disease mechanisms, however, has been hindered by a lack of structural information and competing models for how Ca(2+) affects NaV channel function. Here we report the crystal structures of two ternary complexes of a human NaV cytosolic C-terminal domain (CTD), a fibroblast growth factor homologous factor and Ca(2+)/calmodulin (Ca(2+)/CaM). These structures rule out direct binding of Ca(2+) to the NaV CTD and uncover new contacts between CaM and the NaV CTD. Probing these new contacts with biochemical and functional experiments allows us to propose a mechanism by which Ca(2+) could regulate NaV channels. Further, our model provides hints towards understanding the molecular basis of the neurologic disorders and cardiac arrhythmias caused by NaV channel mutations. Structural analyses of Ca(2+)/CaM interaction with NaV channel C-termini reveal mechanisms of calcium-dependent regulation.,Wang C, Chung BC, Yan H, Wang HG, Lee SY, Pitt GS Nat Commun. 2014 Sep 18;5:4896. doi: 10.1038/ncomms5896.
