Abstract excerpt
Mechanisms and residues responsible for slow activation and Ba(2+) block of the cardiac muscarinic K(+) channel, Kir3.1/Kir3.4, were investigated using site-directed mutagenesis. Mutagenesis of negatively charged residues located throughout the pore of the channel (in H5, M2, and proximal C terminus) reduced or abolished slow activation. The strongest effects resulted from mutagenesis of residues in H5 close to...
