A universally conserved residue in the SUR1 subunit of the KATP channel is essential for translating nucleotide binding at SUR1 into channel opening.

The sulphonylurea receptor (SUR1) subunit of the ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel is a member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) protein family. Binding of MgADP to nucleotide-binding domain 2 (NBD2) is critical for channel activation.We identified a residue in NBD2 (G1401) that is fully conser...
