“…They are mainly located at the positions within voltage-sensors (e.g., R192Q, R195K, V581L/M, R583Q, K1343Q, R1352Q, R1667W, K1670R), the S4-S5 linkers (e.g., S2181L, C1369Y, L1682P, W1683R) and the cytoplasmic S6 activation gates (e.g., F363S, V714A, D715E, F1506S, I1810L; Figures 3, 4) where other GOF channelopathy mutations are typically located (Eising and van den Maagdenberg, 2017;Tyagi et al, 2020). Moreover, some variants associated with FHM-1 also neutralize S4 gating charges, including positions in which also Cav1.1 and Nav1.4 gating-pores were reported (e.g., R195K, R583Q, K1343Q, R1352Q; asterisks in Figure 4; note that R195K in Cav2.1 and R219K in Nav1.4 are both chargeretaining substitutions; Ducros et al, 2001;Kubota et al, 2020) and may therefore affect neuronal excitability also through gating pore currents (Jurkat-Rott et al, 2012). This hypothesis should be tested experimentally and by molecular modeling like for other Cavs (Monteleone et al, 2017;Flucher, 2020).…”
