Ring of Negative Charge in BK Channels Facilitates Block by Intracellular Mg(2+) and Polyamines through Electrostatics
Intracellular Mg(2+) and natural polyamines block outward currents in BK channels in a highly voltage-dependent manner. Here we investigate the contribution of the ring of eight negatively charged residues (4 x E321/E324) at the entrance to the inner vestibule of BK channels to this block. Channels...
