hERG S4-S5 linker acts as a voltage-dependent ligand that binds to the activation gate and locks it in a closed state

Delayed-rectifier potassium channels (hERG and KCNQ1) play a major role in cardiac repolarization. These channels are formed by a tetrameric pore (S5–S6) surrounded by four voltage sensor domains (S1-S4). Coupling between voltage sensor domains and the pore activation gate is critical for channel vo...
