Abstract excerpt
Two-pore channels (TPCs) are two-domain members of the voltage-gated ion channel superfamily that localize to acidic organelles. Their mechanism of activation (ligands such as NAADP/PI(3,5)P2 versus voltage) and ion selectivity (Ca2+ versus Na+) is debated. Here we report that a cluster of arginine residues in the first domain required for selective voltage-gating of TPC1 map not to the voltage-sensing fourth...
