Abstract excerpt
The K+ channel of Saccharomyces cerevisiae encoded by the YKC1 gene includes two pore-loop sequences that are thought to form the hydrophilic lining of the pore. Gating of the channel is promoted by membrane depolarisation and is regulated by the extracellular K+ concentration ([K+]o) both in the yeast and when expressed in Xenopus oocytes. Our previous work showed that substitutions of equivalent residues L293...
