A Twist on Potassium Channel Gating [PDF]

open access: yesCell, 2010
The selectivity filter of potassium channels, the narrowest segment of the pore, permits only potassium ions to diffuse through the pore. Clarke et al. (2010) now present 11 structures of an inwardly rectifying potassium channel, providing evidence that the selectivity filter functions in channel gating and conformational changes in the cytoplasmic ...

Identification of MicroRNA–Potassium Channel Messenger RNA Interactions in the Brain of Rats With Post-traumatic Epilepsy

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2021
Background: Dysregulated expression of microRNAs and potassium channels have been reported for their contributions to seizure onset. However, the microRNA–potassium channel gene interactions in traumatic brain injury-induced post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE)

Targeting potassium channels in cancer [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of General Physiology, 2014
Potassium channels are pore-forming transmembrane proteins that regulate a multitude of biological processes by controlling potassium flow across cell membranes. Aberrant potassium channel functions contribute to diseases such as epilepsy, cardiac arrhythmia, and neuromuscular symptoms collectively known as channelopathies. Increasing evidence suggests

Caveolin-3 Microdomain: Arrhythmia Implications for Potassium Inward Rectifier and Cardiac Sodium Channel

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2018
In human cardiac ventricular myocytes, caveolin-3 functions as a scaffolding and regulatory protein for signaling molecules and compartmentalizes ion channels.

Fast inactivation in Shaker K+ channels. Properties of ionic and gating currents. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Fast inactivating Shaker H4 potassium channels and nonconducting pore mutant Shaker H4 W434F channels have been used to correlate the installation and recovery of the fast inactivation of ionic current with changes in the kinetics of gating current known

TbIRK is a signature sequence free potassium channel from Trypanosoma brucei locating to acidocalcisomes

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Potassium channels from prokaryotes and eukaryotes are usually recognized by a typical amino acid sequence TXTGY(F)G representing the ionic selectivity filter.

Differential ion dehydration energetics explains selectivity in the non-canonical lysosomal K+ channel TMEM175

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Structures of the human lysosomal K+ channel transmembrane protein 175 (TMEM175) in open and closed states revealed a novel architecture lacking the canonical K+ selectivity filter motif present in previously known K+ channel structures.

Inactivation of Kv2.1 Potassium Channels [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 1998
We report here several unusual features of inactivation of the rat Kv2.1 delayed rectifier potassium channel, expressed in Xenopus oocytes. The voltage dependence of inactivation was U-shaped, with maximum inactivation near 0 mV. During a maintained depolarization, development of inactivation was slow and only weakly voltage dependent (tau = 4 s at 0 ...
