Abstract excerpt
We have expressed the pore-forming subunits (Kir 6.1 and Kir 6.2) of the mammalian ATP-sensitive potassium channel in a potassium-transport deficient yeast strain (trk1 trk2). Functional expression of Kir 6.2 and Kir 6.1 can complement growth deficiency weakly and strongly respectively of the yeast strain on low-potassium medium. Mutations of Kir 6.2 that abolish ATP sensitivity (K185Q, I182Q) and enhance...
