Abstract excerpt
ROMK channels are inhibited by intracellular acidification. This pH sensitivity is related to several amino acid residues in the channel proteins such as Lys-61, Thr-51, and His-206 (in ROMK2). Unlike all other amino acids, histidine is titratable at pH 6-7 carrying a positive charge below pH 6. To test the hypothesis that certain histidine residues are engaged in CO(2) and pH sensing of ROMK1, we performed...
