Abstract

Neuronal voltage-gated sodium channel NaV1.2 C-terminal domain (CTD) binds calmodulin (CaM) constitutively at its IQ motif. A solution structure (6BUT) and other NMR evidence showed that the CaM N domain (CaMN) is structurally independent of the C-domain (CaMC) whether CaM is bound to the NaV1.2IQp (1,901–1,927) or NaV1.2CTD (1,777–1,937) with or without calcium. However, in the CaM + NaV1.2CTD complex, the Ca2+ affinity of CaMN was more favorable than in free CaM, while Ca2+ affinity for CaMC was weaker than in the CaM + NaV1.2IQp complex. The CTD EF-like (EFL) domain allosterically widened the energetic gap between CaM domains. Cardiomyopathy-associated CaM mutants (N53I(N54I), D95V(D96V), A102V(A103V), E104A(E105A), D129G(D130G), and F141L(F142L)) all bound the NaV1.2 IQ motif favorably under resting (apo) conditions and bound calcium normally at CaMN sites. However, only N53I and A102V bound calcium at CaMC sites at [Ca2+] < 100 μM. Thus, they are expected to respond like wild-type CaM to Ca2+ spikes in excitable cells. [Display omitted] •In solution, only the IQ motif of NaV1.2 CTD(1,777–1,937) contacts CaM ± Ca2+•Ca2+ changes interfaces of CaM + NaV1.2-IQp and CaM + NaV1.2-CTD complexes identically•Ca2+ binds to N-domain sites of CaM + NaV1.2-CTD preferentially relative to free CaM•Apo pathogenic CaM mutants bind the NaV1.2 CTD as well or better than WT CaM The NaV1.2 C-terminal domain (CTD) constitutively binds the calmodulin C-domain (CaMC). Mahling et al. use NMR and thermodynamics to show the CTD's EF-like domain improves Ca2+ binding to WT calmodulin N domain (CaMN), while Ca2+-binding rotates CaMC. Pathogenic CaMC mutants resist rotation, but their CaMN sites behave like WT.
