pylT enables the faithful encoding of lysine into position K1237 of rNav 1.4. (a) Example traces of rNav 1.4-K1237TAG cRNA coinjected with either lysine-acylated (top) or unacylated full length (bottom) PylT. Oocytes were held at −100 mV and pulsed from −80 mV to +40 mV with 30 ms depolarizing steps. Voltage gated sodium channel activity is evidenced by increasingly large downward deflections in the traces in response to depolarization. The level of zero current for each cell is indicated by a dashed line. (b) Normalized current-voltage relationship plots comparing the WT rNav 1.4 channel to that of the rNav 1.4 K1237TAG rescued with lysine.
