Structural basis of inhibition of human NaV1.8 by the tarantula venom peptide Protoxin-I by Bryan Neumann, Stephen McCarthy, Shane Gonen

“…One such inhibitor, the gating-modifier peptide Protoxin-I derived from tarantula venom, blocks channel opening by shifting the activation voltage threshold to more depolarized potentials, but the structural basis for this inhibition has not previously been determined. Using monolayer graphene grids, we report the cryogenic electron microscopy structures of full-length human apo-NaV1.8 and the Protoxin-I-bound complex at 3.1 Å and 2.8 Å resolution, respectively. …”
