Acidic amino acids, red; His, aqua; and neutral residues, gray.
Zn2+ potency is defined very approximately as the concentration required to shift the gH-V relationship by 20 mV or reduce current during a test pulse by 50%. The latter is highly arbitrary and depends strongly on the test voltage used (DeCoursey et al., 2001), but in some cases is the only information available. The four amino acids implicated in Zn2+ binding were identified in the crystal structure of mHV1, which actually included a bound Zn2+ atom, confirmed by mutation of each individually (Takeshita et al., 2014). The importance of the two His in hHV1 have been confirmed in mutation studies (Ramsey et al., 2006; Musset et al., 2010b); all other amino acids in this table are simply located at analogous positions as assessed by multiple alignment.
Given the moderate Zn2+ sensitivity of LpHV1, which lacks three of four coordinating groups, it is quite possible that Zn2+ binds at a different location.
EhHV1 has two alternatively located His in the S1–S2 linker that bind Zn2+ (Taylor et al., 2011).
