Abstract excerpt
The inhibitory glycine receptor is a member of the ligand-gated ion channel superfamily of neurotransmitter receptors, which are composed of homologous subunits with four transmembrane segments (M1-M4), each. Here, we demonstrate that the correct topology of the glycine receptor alpha1 subunit depends critically on six positively charged residues within a basic cluster, RFRRKRR, located in the large cytoplasmic...
