Abstract excerpt
The topological model proposed for the Kir2.1 inward rectifier predicts that seven of the channel 13 cysteine residues are distributed along the N- and C-terminus regions, with some of the residues comprised within highly conserved domains involved in channel gating. To determine if cytosolic cysteine residues contribute to the gating properties of Kir2.1, each of the N- and C-terminus cysteines was mutated into...
