Function
SCN9A_HUMAN Mediates the voltage-dependent sodium ion permeability of excitable membranes. Assuming opened or closed conformations in response to the voltage difference across the membrane, the protein forms a sodium-selective channel through which Na(+) ions may pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient (PubMed:7720699, PubMed:17167479, PubMed:25240195, PubMed:26680203, PubMed:15385606, PubMed:16988069, PubMed:17145499, PubMed:19369487, PubMed:24311784). It is a tetrodotoxin-sensitive Na(+) channel isoform (PubMed:7720699). Plays a role in pain mechanisms, especially in the development of inflammatory pain (PubMed:17167479, PubMed:17145499, PubMed:19369487, PubMed:24311784).[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Voltage-gated sodium channel Na(V)1.7 plays essential roles in pain and odor perception. Na(V)1.7 variants cause pain disorders. Accordingly, Na(V)1.7 has elicited extensive attention in developing new analgesics. Here we present cryo-EM structures of human Na(V)1.7/beta1/beta2 complexed with inhibitors XEN907, TC-N1752 and Na(V)1.7-IN2, explaining specific binding sites and modulation mechanism for the pore blockers. These inhibitors bind in the central cavity blocking ion permeation, but engage different parts of the cavity wall. XEN907 directly causes alpha- to pi-helix transition of DIV-S6 helix, which tightens the fast inactivation gate. TC-N1752 induces pi-helix transition of DII-S6 helix mediated by a conserved asparagine on DIII-S6, which closes the activation gate. Na(V)1.7-IN2 serves as a pore blocker without causing conformational change. Electrophysiological results demonstrate that XEN907 and TC-N1752 stabilize Na(V)1.7 in inactivated state and delay the recovery from inactivation. Our results provide structural framework for Na(V)1.7 modulation by pore blockers, and important implications for developing subtype-selective analgesics.
