Abstract excerpt
It has recently been proposed that post-translational modification of not only the M3-M4 linker but also the M1-M2 linker of pentameric ligand-gated ion channels modulates function in vivo. To estimate the involvement of the M1-M2 linker in gating and desensitization, we engineered a series of mutations to this linker of the human adult-muscle acetylcholine receptor (AChR), the α3β4 AChR and the homomeric α1...
