Small conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels and calmodulin: cell surface expression and gating.

Abstract excerpt

Small conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels (SK channels) are heteromeric complexes of pore-forming alpha subunits and constitutively bound calmodulin (CaM). The binding of CaM is mediated in part by the electrostatic interaction between residues Arg-464 and Lys-467 of SK2 and Glu-84 and Glu-87 of CaM. Heterologous expression of the double charge reversal in SK2, SK2 R464E/K467E (SK2:64/67), did not yield...
