Gating of a pH-Sensitive K(2P) Potassium Channel by an Electrostatic Effect of Basic Sensor Residues on the Selectivity Filter

K(+) channels share common selectivity characteristics but exhibit a wide diversity in how they are gated open. Leak K(2P) K(+) channels TASK-2, TALK-1 and TALK-2 are gated open by extracellular alkalinization. The mechanism for this alkalinization-dependent gating has been proposed to be the neutra...
