Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Y81C is a new long QT-5 (LQT5)-related KCNE1 mutation, which is located in the post-transmembrane domain (post-TMD) region in close proximity to three other LQT5 mutations (S74L, D76N, and W87R). OBJECTIVE: We examine the effects of Y81C on the function and drug sensitivity of the slow delayed rectifier channel (I(Ks)) formed by KCNE1 with pore-forming KCNQ1 subunits. We also infer a structural basis...
