Amino acids located in the outer
vestibule of the voltage-gated Na+ channel determine
the permeation properties of the channel. Recently, residues lining the
outer pore have also been implicated in channel gating. The domain (D)
IV P-loop residue alanine 1529 forms a part of the putative selectivity
filter of the adult rat skeletal muscle (µ1) Na+ channel.
Here we report that replacement of alanine 1529 by aspartic acid
enhances entry to an ultra-slow inactivated state. Ultra-slow inactivation is characterized by recovery time constants on the order
of ~100 s from prolonged depolarizations and by the fact that entry
to this state can be reduced by binding to the pore of a mutant
µ-conotoxin GIIIA, suggesting that ultra-slow inactivation may
reflect a structural rearrangement of the outer vestibule. The voltage
dependence of ultra-slow inactivation in DIV-A1529D is U-shaped,
with a local maximum near 60 mV, whereas activation is maximal only
above 20 mV. Furthermore, a train of brief depolarizations produces
more ultra-slow inactivation than a single maintained depolarization of
the same duration. These data suggest that ultra-slow inactivation
emanates from "partially activated" closed states and that the
P-loop in DIV may undergo a conformational change during channel
activation, which is accentuated by DIV-A1529D.
