Transfer of ion binding site from ether-à-go-go to Shaker: Mg(2+) binds to resting state to modulate channel opening

In ether-à-go-go (eag) K(+) channels, extracellular divalent cations bind to the resting voltage sensor and thereby slow activation. Two eag-specific acidic residues in S2 and S3b coordinate the bound ion. Residues located at analogous positions are ∼4 Å apart in the x-ray structure of a Kv1.2/Kv2.1...
