Abstract excerpt
Expression of the rat kidney IsK protein in Xenopus oocytes produces slowly-activating potassium channel currents. We have investigated the relationship between structure and function of the single putative membrane-spanning domain using site-directed mutagenesis. Six mutants were constructed in which consecutive individual amino acids (53 to 58) of the transmembrane region were substituted by cysteine....
