NaV–NaV dimerization: interaction between CT helix αVI and EFL of an adjacent channel. (a) Front view of the complex of CTNaV1.5–CaM (red surface) with another channel’s helix αVI (pink ribbons) as observed in PDB accession no. 4OVN. CaM bound to each channel is shown in shades of green. (b) Bird’s eye view of a; the binding site of helix αVI of channel 1 (pink ribbons) on EFL of channel 2 (red surface). (c) Rotated 90° with both channels 1 and 2 shown in ribbons. NaV1.5 channel 1 is shown in pink with its CaM (light green), and NaV1.5 channel 2 EFL in red with its CaM (dark green).
