Abstract excerpt
In Shaker K(+) channels depolarization displaces outwardly the positively charged residues of the S4 segment. The amount of this displacement is unknown, but large movements of the S4 segment should be constrained by the length and flexibility of the S3-S4 linker. To investigate the role of the S3-S4 linker in the ShakerH4Delta(6-46) (ShakerDelta) K(+) channel activation, we constructed S3-S4 linker deletion...
