Trp207 regulation of voltage-dependent activation of human Hv1 proton channel.

Abstract excerpt

In voltage-gated Na+ and K+ channels, the hydrophobicity of noncharged residues in the S4 helix has been shown to regulate the S4 movement underlying the process of voltage-sensing domain (VSD) activation. In voltage-gated proton channel Hv1, there is a bulky noncharged tryptophan residue located at the S4 transmembrane segment. This tryptophan remains entirely conserved across all Hv1 members but is not seen in...
