Abstract excerpt
The function of the ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channel relies on the proper coupling between its two subunits: the pore-forming Kir6.2 and the regulator SUR. The conformation of the interface between these two subunits can be monitored using a rhodamine 123 (Rho) protection assay because Rho blocks Kir6.2 with an efficiency that depends on the relative position of transmembrane domain (TMD) 0 of the...
