Abstract excerpt
Amino acids located in the outer vestibule of the voltage-gated Na+ channel determine the permeation properties of the channel. Recently, residues lining the outer pore have also been implicated in channel gating. The domain (D) IV P-loop residue alanine 1529 forms a part of the putative selectivity filter of the adult rat skeletal muscle (mu1) Na+ channel. Here we report that replacement of alanine 1529 by...
