The isoform alpha-1S gives rise to L-type calcium currents. Long-lasting (L-type) calcium channels belong to the 'high-voltage activated' (HVA) group. They are blocked by dihydropyridines (DHP), phenylalkylamines, benzothiazepines, and by omega-agatoxin-IIIA (omega-Aga-IIIA). They are however insensitive to omega-conotoxin-GVIA (omega-CTx-GVIA) and omega-agatoxin-IVA (omega-Aga-IVA). Calcium channels containing the alpha-1S subunit play an important role in excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal muscle. Publication Abstract from PubMed Voltage-gated ion channels (VGICs) are associated with hundreds of human diseases. To date, 3D structural models of human VGICs have not been reported. We developed a 3D structural integrity metric to rank the accuracy of all VGIC structures deposited in the PDB. The metric revealed inaccuracies in structural models built from recent single-particle, non-crystalline cryo-electron microscopy maps and enabled the building of highly accurate homology models of human Cav channel alpha1 subunits at atomic resolution. Human Cav Mendelian mutations mostly located to segments involved in the mechanism of voltage sensing and gating within the 3D structure, with multiple mutations targeting equivalent 3D structural locations despite eliciting distinct clinical phenotypes. The models also revealed that the architecture of the ion selectivity filter is highly conserved from bacteria to humans and between sodium and calcium VGICs.
