Contribution of the NH2terminus of Kv2.1 to channel activation.
Opening and closing of voltage-operated channels requires the interaction of diverse structural elements. One approach to the identification of channel domains that participate in gating is to locate the sites of action of modifiers. Covalent reaction of Kv2.1 channels with the neutral, sulfhydryl-specific methylmethanethiosulfonate (MMTS) caused a slowing of channel gating with a predominant e...
متن کاملK+ pore structure revealed by reporter cysteines at inner and outer surfaces
The structure of the carboxyl half of the pore-forming region of Kv2.1 was studied by replacing each of 15 consecutive residues between positions 383 and 369 with a reporter cysteine residue. Extracellular application of charged, membrane-impermeant methanethiosulfonates irreversibly modified currents at four cysteine-substituted positions, K382, Y380, I379, and D378. Intracellular exposure to ...
متن کاملAltered State Dependence of C-Type Inactivation in the Long and Short Forms of Human Kv1.5
Evidence from both human and murine cardiomyocytes suggests that truncated isoforms of Kv1.5 can be expressed in vivo. Using whole-cell patch-clamp recordings, we have characterized the activation and inactivation properties of Kv1.5DeltaN209, a naturally occurring short form of human Kv1.5 that lacks roughly 75% of the T1 domain. When expressed in HEK 293 cells, this truncated channel exhibite...
متن کاملRole of Transmembrane Segment S5 on Gating of Voltage-dependent K+ Channels
The cytoplasmic half of S5 (5'S5) has been identified as part of the inner mouth of the pore based on evidence that mutations in this region greatly alter single channel conductance, 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) block and the rate of channel closing upon repolarization (deactivation). The latter effect, suggestive of a role for 5'S5 in channel gating was investigated in the present study. The biophys...
متن کاملRole of Transmembrane Segment S5 on Gating of Voltage-dependent K 1 Channels
The cytoplasmic half of S5 (5 9 S5) has been identified as part of the inner mouth of the pore based on evidence that mutations in this region greatly alter single channel conductance, 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) block and the rate of channel closing upon repolarization (deactivation). The latter effect, suggestive of a role for 5 9 S5 in channel gating was investigated in the present study. The bio...
