Shaker IR T449 mutants separate C- from U-type inactivation.

Abstract excerpt

Previous studies demonstrated that slow inactivation of the Shaker potassium channel can be made ~100-fold faster or slower by point mutations at a site in the outer pore (T449). However, the discovery that two forms of slow inactivation coexist in Shaker raises the question of which inactivation process is affected by mutation. Equivalent mutations in K(V)2.1, a channel exhibiting only U-type inactivation, have...
