Abstract excerpt
Increasing evidence suggests that intracellular H+ directly stimulates large-conductance Ca2+- and voltage-activated K+ (SLO1 BK) channels, thus providing a crucial link between membrane excitability and cell metabolism. Here we report that two histidine residues, His365 and His394, located in the intracellular regulator of conductance for K+ (RCK) 1 domain, serve as the H+ sensors of the SLO1 BK channel....
