| Abstract | Voltage-gated sodium (Na) channels contribute to the regulation of cellular excitability due to their role in the generation and propagation of action potentials. They are composed of a pore-forming α subunit and are modulated by at least two of four distinct β subunits (β1–4). Recent studies have implicated a role for the intracellular domain of β subunits in modulating Na channel gating and trafficking. In β3, the intracellular domain contains a serine residue at position 161 that is replaced by an alanine in β1. In this study, we have probed the functional importance of β3S161 for modulating Na channel gating. Wild-type β3 and point mutations β3S161A or β3S161E were individually co-expressed in HEK 293 cells stably expressing human Nav1.2. WTβ3 expression increased Na current density, shifted steady-state inactivation in a depolarized direction, and accelerated the kinetics of recovery from inactivation of the Na current. Analogous effects were observed with β3S161E co-expression. In contrast, β3S161A abolished the shifts in steady-state inactivation and recovery from inactivation of the Na current, but did increase Na current density. Immunocytochemistry and Western blot experiments demonstrate membrane expression of WTβ3, β3S161E, and β3S161A, suggesting that the differences in Na channel gating were not due to disruptions in β subunit trafficking. These studies suggest that modification of β3S161 may be important in modulating Na-channel gating. |

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.
