Voltage-Gated Potassium Channels as Regulators of Cell Death

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
Ion channels allow the flux of specific ions across biological membranes, thereby determining ion homeostasis within the cells. Voltage-gated potassium-selective ion channels crucially contribute to the setting of the plasma membrane potential, to volume

The influence of lipids on voltage-gated ion channels [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Structural Biology, 2012
Voltage-gated ion channels are responsible for transmitting electrochemical signals in both excitable and non-excitable cells. Structural studies of voltage-gated potassium and sodium channels by X-ray crystallography have revealed atomic details on their voltage-sensor domains (VSDs) and pore domains, and were put in context of disparate mechanistic ...

Cryo-EM structure of the KvAP channel reveals a non-domain-swapped voltage sensor topology

open access: yeseLife, 2019
Conductance in voltage-gated ion channels is regulated by membrane voltage through structural domains known as voltage sensors. A single structural class of voltage sensor domain exists, but two different modes of voltage sensor attachment to the pore ...
