Structural Conservation in Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Potassium Channels

MacKinnon, Roderick, Cohen, Steven L., Kuo, Anling, Lee, Alice, Chait, Brian T.·1998·Science

Abstract

Toxins from scorpion venom interact with potassium channels. Resin-attached, mutant K + channels from Streptomyces lividans were used to screen venom from Leiurus quinquestriatus hebraeus , and the toxins that interacted with the channel were rapidly identified by mass spectrometry. One of the toxins, agitoxin2, was further studied by mutagenesis and radioligand binding. The results show that a prokaryotic K + channel has the same pore structure as eukaryotic K + channels. This structural conservation, through application of techniques presented here, offers a new approach for K + channel pharmacology.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
