Stabilizing the Closed S6 Gate in the Shaker K (v) Channel Through Modification of a Hydrophobic Seal

The primary activation gate in K(+) channels is thought to reside near the intracellular entrance to the ion conduction pore. In a previous study of the S6 activation gate in Shaker (Hackos et al., 2002), we found that mutation of V478 to W results in a channel that cannot conduct ions even though t...
