The role of the cytoplasmic pore in inward rectification of Kir2.1 channels.

The Journal of general physiology - 1 Aug 2007

Kurata Harley T, Cheng Wayland W, Arrabit Christine, Slesinger Paul A, Nichols Colin G

Abstract excerpt

Steeply voltage-dependent block by intracellular polyamines underlies the strong inward rectification properties of Kir2.1 and other Kir channels. Mutagenesis studies have identified several negatively charged pore-lining residues (D172, E224, and E299, in Kir2.1) in the inner cavity and cytoplas...
