Abstract excerpt
Positively charged amino acids in S4 segments of voltage-dependent Ca(V)3.1 channel form putative voltage sensor. Previously we have shown that exchange of uppermost positively charged arginine in IVS4 segment for cysteine (mutation R1717C) affected deactivation and inactivation, but not activation of macroscopic current. Now we compared gating currents from both channels. Maximal amplitude of charge movement in...
