摘要

Almost all the reported cryo-EM structures of eukaryotic voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels, including those of human Nav1.1-Nav1.8, represent various inactivated states that are characteristic of non-conductive pore domain (PD) and voltage-sensing domains (VSDs) activated to varying degrees. To capture an open-state Nav structure, we treated purified human Nav1.7 with veratridine (VTD) and solved its cryo-EM structures. Two VTD-bound Nav1.7 complexes were obtained. One, with VTD inserted in the IFM-binding corner (site I), resembles other inactivated structures. The other, wherein VTD traverses the central cavity (site C), represents an activated conformation with a diameter of 8.2 Å at the constriction site of the intracellular gate. Structural analysis reveals the mechanism of action of VTD’s bimodal modulation of Nav channels. More importantly, a comparison between this open state and inactivated structures provides detailed molecular insight into the fast inactivation process.
