Abstract excerpt
1. We have used patch clamp to record large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BKCa) currents from a human embryonic kidney cell line (HEK293) expressing wild-type and mutant hSlo channels. 2. When we mutated F380 in the S6 region, thought to contribute to the intracellular vestibule of the pore, to isoleucine (F380I), very little channel activity was recorded. In contrast, mutation to tyrosine (F380Y) resulted in...
