Figures

Figure 1 (A) The patient carrying a de novo missense mutation in Cav1.3 displayed ASD accompanied by developmental delay, epilepsy and muscular hypotonia. (B) Transmembrane topology of the pore forming α1-subunit. The α1-subunit consists of four homologous repeats, each comprising six transmembrane segments connected by extra- and intracellular linkers. Segments one to four of each domain form the voltage sensing domain and segments five to six build the pore (for review see Ref. 48). Mutation V401L (solid arrow), is localized in the activation gate in segment six of domain I in exon 8a, one of two alternatively spliced exons. Furthermore, Cav1.3 undergoes alternative splicing in the C-terminus. Usage of one of two alternative exons, either 42A or 43s results in stop codons (bars) giving rise to two C-terminal short splice variants, partially or completely lacking the C-terminal modulator (CTM) formed by PCRD and DCRD domains (16–18). EF, pre-IQ and IQ are interaction sites for calmodulin (CaM).

Figure 2 Mutation V401L affects channel gating. (A + C) current-voltage relationships (ICa, mean ± S.E.M.) of wild-type (WT) vs. mutant C-terminal long (A) and short (C) Cav1.3 splice variants from parallel transfections. Mutation V401L significantly enhanced current densities in both splice variants, also shown by the boxplots and representative traces, obtained from depolarization to the maximal voltage, in the insets (median (5/95 percentile) [pA/pF]: WTL: −20.0 (−47.0/−6.21), n = 71; V401LL: −28.5 (−70.2/−8.18), n = 59; P < 0.001 against WTL; WTS: −10.3 (−16.8/−4.86), n = 17; V401LS: −17.6 (−35.9/−6.16), n = 15, P = 0.0345 against WTS, Mann Whitney test for both). (B + D) Voltage dependence of ICa activation and inactivation of WT and mutant long (B) and short (D) Cav1.3 splice variants. Mutation V401L significantly shifted voltage dependence of activation and inactivation to more negative potentials in both splice variants. Data shown as mean ± S.E.M., for parameters and statistics see Table 1. (E) Ratio of Itail vs. area of ON-gating charge movement (QON). Mutation V401LL resulted in a higher Itail/QON ratio, indicating a higher estimated open probability. The following slopes were obtained by linear regression: WTL: −9.29 ± 0.82 (R2=0.71); V401LL: −28.1 ± 1.93 (R2=0.8072). Slopes were significantly different (P < 0.0001; (F) (DFn/DFd)=71.4 (1/104); linear regression, F-test, Graphpad PRISM 5.0). Representative traces upon depolarization to the reversal potential are shown to the right. Data were collected from more than three independent transfections. Experiments with poor voltage-clamp were always excluded from analysis.

Figure 3 Mutation V401L alters channel inactivation. (A + B) 5-s inactivation upon depolarization to Vmax with Ca2+ (left) and Ba2+ (right) as charge carrier. Mutation V401L significantly reduced ICa inactvation as evident from the inset showing only the first 500 ms, but not IBa inactivation when introduced into the long splice variant (A). When present in the short splice, V401L slowed both ICa and IBa inactivation (B). Traces shown as mean ± S.E.M., for parameters and statistics see Table 1 and 2. (C + D) Recovery from ICa inactivation (mean ± S.E.M.). Mutation V401L resulted in significantly faster recovery from inactivation in both, long (τ as mean ± S.E.M.

Data were fitted using a mono-exponential equation. (E + F) Voltage dependence of Ca2+ dependent inactivation (CDI) of WT and mutant long (E) and short (F) splice variants. r250 represents the fraction of the peak current remaining after 250 ms upon depolarization with Ca2+ (closed symbols) of Ba2+ (open symbols) as charge carrier of WT (left panel) vs. V401L (middle panel), n-numbers are given in parentheses. Parameter f represents the difference of r250 among ICa and IBa demonstrating the strenght of CDI (right panel). In both splice variants, mutation V401L resulted in an altered CDI over a broad voltage range, as evident by the f-parameters in E and F (right panel, two way ANOVA of f-parameters followed by Bonferroni post-hoc test, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, separate analysis for long and short splice variants). Data were collected from more than three independent transfections.

Figure 4 Mutation V401L increases the window current. (A + B) Determination of the basal window current for long (A) and short (B) splice variants. Curves were obtained by multiplying the product of the steady-state activation and inactivation in Fig. 2B + D, with the corresponding current densities at the given potentials in Fig. 2A + C, respectively. See Methods for details. Mutation V401L significantly increased the window current in both splice variants (A, P < 0.05; B, P < 0.01; two-way ANOVA). C + D: Determination of the persistent current for long (C) and short (D) splice variants. Remaining current after 5-s depolarizations to different potentials expressed as fraction of maximal possible inward current, assessed by a prepulse to Vmax in the same sweep. Data shown as mean ± S.E.M., n-numbers are given in parentheses. When introduced into the long splice variant V401L resulted in an enhanced persistent current at − 10 to +10 mV (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, two-way ANOVA, followed by Bonferroni post-hoc test).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
