KCNE1 tunes the sensitivity of K(V)7.1 to polyunsaturated fatty acids by moving turret residues close to the binding site

The voltage-gated potassium channel K(V)7.1 and the auxiliary subunit KCNE1 together form the cardiac I(Ks) channel, which is a proposed target for future anti-arrhythmic drugs. We previously showed that polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) activate K(V)7.1 via an electrostatic mechanism. The activat...
