PG - 13-21 LID - S0041-0101(15)30156-2 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.toxicon.2015.12.009 [doi] AB - Peptide toxins often have divergent pharmacological functions and are powerful tools for a deep review on the current understanding of the structure-function relationships of voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs). However, knowing about the interaction of site 3 toxins from tarantula venoms with VGSCs is not sufficient. In the present study, using whole-cell patch clamp technique, we determined the effects of Jingzhaotoxin-I (JZTX-I) on five VGSC subtypes expressed in HEK293 cells. The results showed that JZTX-I could inhibit the inactivation of rNav1.2, rNav1.3, rNav1.4, hNav1.5 and hNav1.7 channels with the IC50 of 870 +/- 8 nM, 845 +/- 4 nM, 339 +/- 5 nM, 335 +/- 9 nM, and 348 +/- 6 nM, respectively. The affinity of the toxin interaction with subtypes (rNav1.4, hNav1.5, and hNav1.7) was only 2-fold higher than that for subtypes (rNav1.2 and rNav1.3). The toxin delayed the inactivation of VGSCs without affecting the activation and steady-state inactivation kinetics in the physiological range of voltages. Site-directed mutagenesis indicated that the toxin interacted with site 3 located at the extracellular S3-S4 linker of domain IV, and the acidic residue Asp at the position1609 in hNav1.5 was crucial for JZTX-I activity. Our results provide new insights in single key residue that allows toxins to recognize distinct ion channels with similar potency and enhance our understanding of the structure-function relationships of toxin-channel interactions.
