Abstract excerpt
Inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channels are gated by the interaction of their cytoplasmic regions with membrane-bound phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)). In the present study, we examined how PIP(2) interaction regulates channel availability and channel openings to various subconductance levels (sublevels) as well as the fully open state in the strong inward rectifier Kir2.1 channel. Various...
