Abstract excerpt
Big or high conductance potassium (BK) channels are activated by voltage and intracellular calcium (Ca(2+)). Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), a ubiquitous modulator of ion channel activity, has been reported to enhance Ca(2+)-driven gating of BK channels, but a molecular understanding of this interplay or even of the PIP2 regulation of this channel's activity remains elusive. Here, we identify...
