Intra- and Intersubunit Cooperativity in Activation of BK Channels by Ca(2+)
The activation of BK channels by Ca(2+) is highly cooperative, with small changes in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration having large effects on open probability (Po). Here we examine the mechanism of cooperative activation of BK channels by Ca(2+). Each of the four subunits of BK channels has a larg...
