| Abstract | Inactivation is a fundamental characteristic of Na+ channels, and small changes cause skeletal muscle paralysis and myotonia, epilepsy, and cardiac arrhythmia. Brain Nav1.2a channels have faster inactivation than cardiac Nav1.5 channels, but minor differences in inactivation gate structure are not responsible. We constructed chimeras in which the C termini beyond the fourth homologous domains of Nav1.2a and Nav1.5 were exchanged. Replacing the C-terminal domain (CT) of Nav1.2a with that of Nav1.5 (Nav1.2/1.5CT) slowed inactivation at +40 mV ≈2-fold, making it similar to Nav1.5. Conversely, replacing the CT of Nav1.5 with that of Nav1.2a (Nav1.5/1.2CT) accelerated inactivation, making it similar to Nav1.2a. Activation properties were unaffected. The voltage dependence of steady-state inactivation of Nav1.5 is 16 mV more negative than that of Nav1.2a. The steady-state inactivation curve of Nav1.2a was shifted +12 mV in Nav1.2/1.5CT, consistent with destabilization of the inactivated state. Conversely, Nav1.5/1.2CT was shifted −14 mV relative to Nav1.5, consistent with stabilization of the inactivated state. Although these effects of exchanging C termini were consistent with their effects on inactivation kinetics, they magnified the differences in the voltage dependence of inactivation between brain and cardiac channels rather than transferring them. Thus, other parts of these channels determine the basal difference in steady-state inactivation. Deletion of the distal half of either the Nav1.2 or Nav1.5 CTs accelerated open-state inactivation and negatively shifted steady-state inactivation. Thus, the C terminus has a strong influence on kinetics and voltage dependence of inactivation in brain Nav1.2 and cardiac Nav1.5 channels and is primarily responsible for their differing rates of channel inactivation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
