Abstract excerpt
The dissipation of acute acid loads by the voltage-gated proton channel (Hv1) relies on regulating the channel's open probability by the voltage and the ΔpH across the membrane (ΔpH = pHex - pHin). Using monomeric Ciona-Hv1, we asked whether ΔpH-dependent gating is produced during the voltage sensor activation or permeation pathway opening. A leftward shift of the conductance-voltage (G-V) curve was produced at...
