ATP-dependent interaction of the cytosolic domains of the inwardly rectifying K+ channel Kir6.2 revealed by fluorescence resonance energy transfer.
ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channels play important roles in the regulation of membrane excitability in many cell types. ATP inhibits channel activity by binding to a specific site formed by the N and C termini of the pore-forming subunit, Kir6.2, but the structural changes associated with this inte...
