Structural changes in the cytoplasmic pore of the Kir1.1 channel during pH(i)-gating probed by FRET

Kir1.1 channels are important in maintaining K(+ )homeostasis in the kidney. Intracellular acidification reversibly closes the Kir1.1 channel and thus decreases K(+ )secretion. In this study, we used Foster resonance energy transfer (FRET) to determine whether the conformation of the cytoplasmic por...
