Abstract excerpt
The predicted TM10 transmembrane sequence, (4844)IIFDITFFFFVIVILLAIIQGLII(4867), has been proposed to be the pore inner helix of the ryanodine receptor (RyR) and to play a crucial role in channel activation and gating, as with the inner helix of bacterial potassium channels. However, experimental evidence for the involvement of the TM10 sequence in RyR channel activation and gating is lacking. In the present...
