Protein arginine methyl transferases-3 and -5 increase cell surface expression of cardiac sodium channel.

چکیده
The α-subunit of the cardiac voltage-gated sodium channel (NaV1.5) plays a central role in cardiomyocyte excitability. We have recently reported that NaV1.5 is post-translationally modified by arginine methylation. Here, we aimed to identify the enzymes that methylate NaV1.5, and to describe the role of arginine methylation on NaV1.5 function. Our results show that protein arginine methyl transferase (PRMT)-3 and -5 methylate NaV1.5 in vitro, interact with NaV1.5 in human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells, and increase NaV1.5 current density by enhancing NaV1.5 cell surface expression. Our observations are the first evidence of regulation of a voltage-gated ion channel, including calcium, potassium, sodium and TRP channels, by arginine methylation.

Background: Vasopressin type 2 receptor (V2R) plays an important role in the water reabsorption in the kidney collecting ducts. V2R is a G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) and the triplet of amino acids aspartate-arginine-histidine (DRH) in this receptor might significantly influence its activity similar to other GPCR. However, the role of this motif has not been fully confirmed. Therefore, the ...
متن کاملTemperature-dependent model of human cardiac sodium channel
Cardiac sodium channels are integral membrane proteins whose structure is not known at atomic level yet and their molecular kinetics is still being studied through mathematical modeling. This study has focused on adapting an existing model of cardiac Na channel to analyze molecular kinetics of channels at 9-37°C. Irvine et al developed a Markov model for Na channel using Neuronal Network Model ...

متن کاملExpression and intracellular localization of an SCN5A double mutant R1232W/T1620M implicated in Brugada syndrome.
Brugada syndrome is an inherited cardiac disorder caused by mutations in the cardiac sodium channel gene, SCN5A, that leads to ventricular fibrillation and sudden death. This study reports the changes in functional expression and cellular localization of an SCN5A double mutant (R1232W/T1620M) recently discovered in patients with Brugada syndrome. Mutant and wild-type (WT) human heart sodium cha...
