Figure 14 –2. Structural similarities of voltage-dependent Na + , Ca 2+ and K + channels. A. The α subunit in both Ca 2+ and Na + channels

contains four subunits, each with six transmembrane hydrophobic domains. The hydrophobic regions that connect segments five and

six in each domain form the pore of the channel. Segment four in each domain includes the voltage- sensor. See Figure 20–2 for additional

details. (Adapted with permission from Catterall W. From ionic currents to molecular mechanisms: The structure and function

of voltage-gated sodium channels. Neuron, 2000, 26:13–25. Copyright © Elsevier.) B. The Ca 2+ channel also requires several auxiliary

small proteins (α 2

, β, γ, and δ). The α 2

and δ subunits are linked by a disulfide bond. Regulatory subunits also exist for Na + channels.

C.Voltage-sensitive K + channels (K v

) and the rapidly activating K + channel (K A

) share a similar putative hexaspanning structure

similar in overall configuration to one repeat unit within the Na + and Ca 2+ channel structure, while the inwardly rectifying K + channel

protein (K ir

) retains the general configuration of just loops five and six. Regulatory β subunits (cystosolic) can alter K v

channel

functions. Channels of these two overall motifs can form heteromultimers.
