FHF2 phosphorylation and regulation of native myocardial Na <sub>V</sub> 1.5 channels
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Phosphorylation of the cardiac Na V 1.5 channel pore-forming subunit is extensive and critical in modulating channel expression and function, yet the regulation of Na V 1.5 by phosphorylation of its accessory proteins remains elusive. Using a phosphoproteomic analysis of Na V channel complexes purified from mouse left ventricles, we identified nine phosphorylation sites on Fibroblast growth factor Homologous Factor 2 (FHF2). To determine the roles of phosphosites in regulating Na V 1.5, we developed two models from neonatal and adult mouse ventricular cardiomyocytes in which FHF2 expression is knockdown and rescued by WT, phosphosilent or phosphomimetic FHF2-VY. While the increased rates of closed-state and open-state inactivation of Na V channels induced by the FHF2 knockdown are completely restored by the FHF2-VY isoform in adult cardiomyocytes, sole a partial rescue is obtained in neonatal cardiomyocytes. The FHF2 knockdown also shifts the voltage-dependence of activation towards hyperpolarized potentials in neonatal cardiomyocytes, which is not rescued by FHF2-VY. Parallel investigations showed that the FHF2-VY isoform is predominant in adult cardiomyocytes, while expression of FHF2-VY and FHF2-A is comparable in neonatal cardiomyocytes. Similar to WT FHF2-VY, however, each FHF2-VY phosphomutant restores the Na V channel inactivation properties in both models, preventing identification of FHF2 phosphosite roles. FHF2 knockdown also increases the late Na + current in adult cardiomyocytes, which is restored similarly by WT and phosphosilent FHF2-VY. Together, our results demonstrate that ventricular FHF2 is highly phosphorylated, implicate differential roles for FHF2 in regulating neonatal and adult mouse ventricular Na V 1.5, and suggest that the regulation of Na V 1.5 by FHF2 phosphorylation is highly complex. eTOC Summary Lesage et al . identify the phosphorylation sites of FHF2 from mouse left ventricular Na V 1.5 channel complexes. While no roles for FHF2 phosphosites could be recognized yet, the findings demonstrate differential FHF2-dependent regulation of neonatal and adult mouse ventricular Na V 1.5 channels.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
