Abstract excerpt
Calcium-dependent gating of large-conductance calcium-activated potassium (BK(Ca)) channels is mediated by the intracellular carboxyl terminus, which contains two domains of regulator of K(+) conductance (RCK). In mammalian BK(Ca) channels, the two RCK domains are separated by a protein segment of 101 residues that is poorly conserved in evolution and predicted to have no regular secondary structures. We...
