Cytoplasmic (A) and side () views of the N i20 contacts in the X-ray structure of the closed sodium channel NavAb (PD code 3RVW). Hydrogen atoms are added with PYMOL. N i20 (space-filled) is tightly surrounded by hydrophobic residues and only its cytoplasm-oriented side lacks close contacts. Semitransparent pink and gray/green surfaces show inter- and intra-subunit contacts, respectively. L i20 F i29 Figure S3. Intersubunit contact of L i29 and F i29 in the X-ray structure of Kv1.2

Cytoplasmic (A) and side () views of the X-ray structure of the open Kv1.2 channel with the inner helices of two neighboring subunits shown as cylinders joined by rods. The cytoplasmic halves of the inner helices cross each other at a big angle. The only intersubunit contact in this region is that between residues i20 and i29 whose side chains are space-filled. Note that these residues flank the PVP motif, which determines the S6 kink (shown by rod).

Inter-repeat H-bonds K 2i20 ---Q 1o1 (A,) and K 3i20 ---N 2o1 (C,D) in the MC-minimized NavAb-based models of the closed-state Nav1.4 mutants N 2i20 K (A,) and N 3i20 K (C,D). The H-bonds may lock the channels in the closed state in agreement with the data that the mutants express no or little currents (see text). The backbones were kept rigid during MC-minimization. The MC-minimized energy of the mutant is close to that of the wild-type channels indicating that the H-bond formation is energetically possible.

The H-bonds would lock the channels in the open state in agreement with the data that the mutants do not inactivate. The structures are MC-minimized with rigid backbones implying that formation of the H-bonds in the real channel does not require significant shifts of IS6 and IVS6 helices.
