β spectrin-dependent and domain specific mechanisms for Na+ channel clustering

Previously, we showed that a hierarchy of spectrin cytoskeletal proteins maintains nodal Na+ channels (Liu et al., 2020). Here, using mice lacking β1, β4, or β1/β4 spectrins, we show this hierarchy does not function at axon initial segments (AIS). Although β1 spectrin, together with AnkyrinR (AnkR),...
