The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Function SCNAA_HUMAN Tetrodotoxin-resistant channel that 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 sodium ions may pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient. Plays a role in neuropathic pain mechanisms. Publication Abstract from PubMed Voltage-gated sodium channels (Na(V)s) selectively permit diffusion of sodium ions across the cell membrane and, in excitable cells, are responsible for propagating action potentials. One of the nine human Na(V) isoforms, Na(V)1.8, is a promising target for analgesics, and selective inhibitors are of interest as therapeutics. One such inhibitor, the gating-modifier peptide Protoxin-I derived from tarantula venom, blocks channel opening by shifting the activation voltage threshold to more depolarized potentials, but the structural basis for this inhibition has not previously been determined. Using monolayer graphene grids, we report the cryogenic electron microscopy structures of full-length human apo-Na(V)1.8 and the Protoxin-I-bound complex at 3.1 A and 2.8 A resolution, respectively. The apo structure shows an unexpected movement of the Domain I S4-S5 helix, and VSD(I) was unresolvable. We find that Protoxin-I binds to and displaces the VSD(II) S3-S4 linker, hindering translocation of the S4(II) helix during activation.
