Tuning the gate and the gear: The LRRC26 (γ1) subunit modulates intrinsic gating and voltage-sensor coupling of the BK channel

Felipe Echeverría, Antonio Peña-Pichicoi, Miguel Fernandez…·Ramón Latorre

This study shows that the γ1 subunit of BK channels increases the equilibrium constant for channel opening by destabilizing the closed state and enhancing voltage-sensor-pore coupling.
