Cryo-EM structure of the ATP-sensitive potassium channel illuminates mechanisms of assembly and gating

K(ATP) channels are metabolic sensors that couple cell energetics to membrane excitability. In pancreatic β-cells, channels formed by SUR1 and Kir6.2 regulate insulin secretion and are the targets of antidiabetic sulfonylureas. Here, we used cryo-EM to elucidate structural basis of channel assembly...
