Inactivation of KCNQ1 potassium channels reveals dynamic coupling between voltage sensing and pore opening

KCNQ1 is a voltage-gated potassium channel that is important in cardiac and epithelial function. Here the authors present a mechanism for KCNQ1 activation and inactivation in which voltage sensor activation promotes pore opening more effectively in the intermediate open state than the fully open sta...
