Abstract excerpt
ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels are widely expressed and play key roles in many tissues by coupling metabolic state to membrane excitability. The SUR subunits confer drug and enhanced nucleotide sensitivity to the pore-forming Kir6 subunit, and so information transfer between the subunits must occur. In our previous study, we identified an electrostatic interaction between Kir6 and SUR2 subunits that was...
