Concerted gating mechanism underlying KATP channel inhibition by ATP.

Abstract excerpt

KATP channels assemble from four regulatory SUR1 and four pore-forming Kir6.2 subunits. At the single-channel current level, ATP-dependent gating transitions between the active burst and the inactive interburst conformations underlie inhibition of the KATP channel by intracellular ATP. Previously, we identified a slow gating mutation, T171A in the Kir6.2 subunit, which dramatically reduces rates of burst to...
