Abstract excerpt
Pancreatic beta-cell ATP-sensitive potassium channels, composed of SUR1 and Kir6.2 subunits, serve as a sensor for intracellular nucleotides and regulate glucose-induced insulin secretion. To learn more about the interaction of SUR1 with nucleotides, we examined the effect of N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) modification. Photoaffinity labeling of SUR1 with 5 microM 8-azido-[alpha-32P]ATP or 8-azido-[gamma-32P]ATP was...
