Abstract excerpt
Modulation of activation kinetics by divalent ions is one of the characteristic features of Eag channels. Here, we report that Mg(2+)-dependent deceleration of Eag channel activation is significantly attenuated by a G297E mutation, which exhibits a gain-of-function phenotype in Drosophila by suppressing the effect of shaker mutation on behavior and neuronal excitability. The G297 residue is located in the...
