Non-equivalent role of TM2 gating hinges in heteromeric Kir4.1/Kir5.1 potassium channels.
Comparison of the crystal structures of the KcsA and MthK potassium channels suggests that the process of opening a K(+) channel involves pivoted bending of the inner pore-lining helices at a highly conserved glycine residue. This bending motion is proposed to splay the transmembrane domains outward...
