Structure of a KirBac potassium channel with an open bundle crossing indicates a mechanism of channel gating.
KirBac channels are prokaryotic homologs of mammalian inwardly rectifying (Kir) potassium channels, and recent crystal structures of both Kir and KirBac channels have provided major insight into their unique structural architecture. However, all of the available structures are closed at the helix bu...
