Abstract
Prokaryotic NaV channels are tetramers and eukaryotic NaV channels consist of a single subunit containing four domains. Each monomer/domain contains six transmembrane segments (S1-S6), S1-S4 being the voltage-sensor domain and S5-S6 the pore domain. A crystal structure of NaVMs, a prokaryotic NaV channel, suggests that the S4-S5 linker (S4-S5L) interacts with the C-terminus of S6 (S6T) to stabilize the gate in the open state. However, in several voltage-gated potassium channels, using specific S4-S5L-mimicking peptides, we previously demonstrated that S4-S5L/S6T interaction stabilizes the gate in the closed state. Here, we used the same strategy on another prokaryotic NaV channel, NaVSp1, to test whether equivalent peptides stabilize the channel in the open or closed state. A NaVSp1-specific S4-S5L peptide, containing the residues supposed to interact with S6T according to the NaVMs structure, induced both an increase in NaVSp1 current density and a negative shift in the activation curve, consistent with S4-S5L stabilizing the open state. Using this approach on a human NaV channel, hNaV1.4, and testing 12 hNaV1.4 S4-S5L peptides, we identified four activating S4-S5L peptides. These results suggest that, in eukaryotic NaV channels, the S4-S5L of DI, DII and DIII domains allosterically modulate the activation gate and stabilize its open state.

Abstract
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is recommended as a serologic marker to monitor colorectal carcinoma recurrence. Elevations of CEA due to causes other than carcinoma exist and may lead to a misdiagnosis of recurrent carcinoma. We report a case of bowel sequestration with mucocele formation at the site of previous colo-colic anastomosis causing a mild elevation in CEA. The patient exhibited increasing CEA levels 6 years after resection of a sigmoid colon carcinoma with end-to-end anastomosis. Subsequently, computed tomographic and positron emission tomographic scans documented the presence of a cystic mass showing increased uptake at the anastomotic site. At exploratory laparotomy a mass lesion with mucus-filled protrusions was resected. Pathologic examination documented the presence of sequestration of a segment of the bowel wall with a mucocele and no overlying defect at the mucosal anastomotic site by demonstrating the presence of all bowel layers. After resection of the lesion, the CEA level normalized.
