Structural Conservation in Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Potassium Channels
Toxins from scorpion venom interact with potassium channels. Resin-attached, mutant K + channels from Streptomyces lividans were used to screen venom from Leiurus quinquestriatu...
Mutations Affecting Tea Blockade and Ion Permeation in Voltage-activated K <sup>+</sup> Channels
Voltage-dependent ion channels are responsible for electrical signaling in neurons and other cells. The main classes of voltage-dependent channels (sodium-, calcium-, and potass...
Capsaicin activates a nonselective cation channel in cultured neonatal rat dorsal root ganglion neurons
Capsaicin (CAP), a neurotoxin, has been reported to activate a nonselective cation current in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. In this paper, we identify and describe the pro...
Mutant Potassium Channels with Altered Binding of Charybdotoxin, a Pore-Blocking Peptide Inhibitor
The inhibition by charybdotoxin of A-type potassium channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes was studied for several splicing variants of the Drosophila Shaker gene and for several...
A new family of outwardly rectifying potassium channel proteins with two pore domains in tandem
Potassium channels catalyse the permeation of K+ ions across cellular membranes and are identified by a common structural motif, a highly conserved signature sequence of eight a...
