Abstract excerpt
Skeletal muscle contractions are initiated by action potentials, which are sensed by the voltage-gated calcium channel (CaV1.1) and are conformationally coupled to calcium release from intracellular stores. Notably, CaV1.1 contains four separate voltage-sensing domains (VSDs), which activate channel gating and excitation-contraction (EC-) coupling at different voltages and with distinct kinetics. Here we show...
