Vascular K <sub>ATP</sub> channel structural dynamics reveal regulatory mechanism by Mg-nucleotides
2021-05-16
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Vascular tone is dependent on smooth muscle K ATP channels comprising pore-forming Kir6.1 and regulatory SUR2B subunits, in which mutations cause Cantú syndrome. Unique among K ATP isoforms, they lack spontaneous activity and require Mg-nucleotides for activation. Structural mechanisms underlying these properties are unknown. Here, we determined the first cryoEM structures of vascular K ATP c...
