Abstract excerpt
KATP channels consisting of Kir6.2 and SUR1 couple cell metabolism to membrane excitability and regulate insulin secretion. The molecular interactions between SUR1 and Kir6.2 that govern channel gating and biogenesis are incompletely understood. In a recent study, we showed that a SUR1 and Kir6.2 mutation pair, E203K-SUR1 and Q52E-Kir6.2, at the SUR1/Kir6.2 interface near the plasma membrane increases the...
