Mg(2+) Enhances Voltage Sensor/Gate Coupling in BK Channels

BK (Slo1) potassium channels are activated by millimolar intracellular Mg(2+) as well as micromolar Ca(2+) and membrane depolarization. Mg(2+) and Ca(2+) act in an approximately additive manner at different binding sites to shift the conductance–voltage (G(K)-V) relation, suggesting that these ligan...
