Abstract excerpt
Co-assembly of KCNQ1 alpha-subunits with KCNE1 beta-subunits results in the channel complex underlying the cardiac IKs current in vivo. Like other voltage-gated K+ channels, KCNQ1 has a tetrameric configuration. The S6 segment of each subunit lines the ion channel pore with the lower part forming the activation gate. To determine residues involved in protein-protein interactions in the C-terminal part of S6...
