Abstract excerpt
Epithelial sodium channels (ENaCs) are composed of three homologous subunits that have regions preceding the second transmembrane domain (also referred as pre-M2) that form part of the channel pore. To identify residues within this region of the beta-subunit that line the pore, we systematically mutated residues Gln(523)-Ile(536) to cysteine. Wild type and mutant mouse ENaCs were expressed in Xenopus oocytes, and...
