Abstract excerpt
The voltage-sensitive phosphatase Ci-VSP consists of an intracellular phosphatase domain (PD) coupled to a transmembrane voltage-sensor domain (VSD). Depolarization triggers the selective dephosphorylation of phosphoinositides. However, the molecular mechanisms of coupling are still elusive. To clarify the role of the VSD-PD linker as a putative partner for electrostatic interactions with the membrane, we carried...
