Interaction of the Aromatics Tyr-72/Trp-288 in the Interface of the Extracellular and Transmembrane Domains Is Essential for Proton Gating of Acid-sensing Ion Channels

Acid-sensing ion channels are proton-activated ion channels expressed in the nervous system. They belong to the family of ENaC/Degenerins whose members share a conserved structure but are activated by widely diverse stimuli. We show that interaction of two aromatic residues, Tyr-72, located immediat...
