Abstract excerpt
1. Using the whole-cell recording mode we have characterized two non-conducting states in mammalian Shaker-related voltage-gated K+ channels induced by the removal of extracellular potassium, K+o. 2. In the absence of K+o, current through Kv1.4 was almost completely abolished due to the presence of a charged lysine residue at position 533 at the entrance to the pore. Removal of K+o had a similar effect on current...
