Ball-and-Chain Inactivation of Ion Channels Visualized by Cryo-Electron Microscopy

May 4, 2020

Calcium-gated potassium channel MthK in closed, open and inactivated states, from left to right. Channel structure (blue), with one subunit removed for clarity; calcium ions (yellow); potassium ions (purple); membrane (grey); N-terminal inactivation peptide (red). The location of the peptide in the inactivated channel was identified in the structural analysis, whereas the location shown in closed and open channels is hypothetical.
