The hydrophobic locus VAVIM is conserved in the S6 transmembrane segment of domain IV (IVS6) in Ca(V)1 and Ca(V)2 families. Herein we show that glycine substitution of the VAVIM motif in Ca(V)2.3 produced whole cell currents with inactivation kinetics that were either slower (A1719G approximate to V1720G), similar (V1718G), or faster (I1721G approximate to M1722G) than the wild-type channel. The fast kinetics of I1721G were observed with a approximate to + 10 mV shift in its voltage dependence of activation (E-0.5,E-act). In contrast, the slow kinetics of A1719G and V1720G were accompanied by a significant shift of approximate to-20 mV in their E-0.5,E-act indicating that the relative stability of the channel closed state was decreased in these mutants. Glycine scan performed with Val(349) in IS6, Ile(701) in IIS6, and Leu(1420) in IIIS6 at positions predicted to face Val(1720) in IVS6 also produced slow inactivating currents with hyperpolarizing shifts in the activation and inactivation potentials, again pointing out a decrease in the stability of the channel closed state. Mutations to other hydrophobic residues at these positions nearly restored the channel gating. Altogether these data indicate that residues at positions equivalent to 1720 exert a critical control upon the relative stability of the channel closed and open states and more specifically, that hydrophobic residues at these positions promote the channel closed state. We discuss a three-dimensional homology model of Ca(V)2.3 based upon Kv1.2 where hydrophobic residues at positions facing Val(1720) in IS6, IIS6, and IIIS6 play a critical role in stabilizing the closed state in Ca(V)2.3.
