Comparison of the PAS loop in Eag1 and hErg.

(A) Structure of Eag1 (PDB: 5K7L) in the closed conformation (PAS is orange, VS is yellow, S4-S5 linker is blue, pore is green, C-linker is red, CNBHD is cyan, CaM is purple, and membrane is indicated by gray bars) with a black box indicating the view for panel (B). (B) View of interaction between PAS loop, VS and CNBHD in the closed conformation of Eag1 with the same coloring as in (A). The N-terminus of the protein is shown as a sphere. The PAS loop N-terminus is not observed in this structure. (C) View of the interaction between PAS loop, VS and CNBHD in the open conformation of hErg (PDB: 5VA2) with the same coloring and orientation as in (B). The N-terminus is shown as a sphere and the PAS loop N-terminus is shown in gray.

(B) Normalized tail current vs. depolarization voltage plot for WT Eag1 (black square, n = 6), Eag1TM (green circle, n = 4), and the Eag1/hErg chimera (red triangle, n = 4) with V0.5 values (mean ± sd). Eag1TM did not reach saturation up to 100 mV. (C) Cole-Moore effect of WT Eag1, Eag1TM, and the Eag1/hErg chimera with the voltage-pulse protocol shown above. (D) Plot of normalized current at 10 ms following the depolarization step vs holding potential for WT Eag1 (Cole-Moore I-V plot). The Cole-Moore I-V plot was fit with a Boltzmann function to estimate the holding potential that produces half maximal rates of activation (V0.5CM = −126 ± 0.9 mV, mean ± sd, n = 6).
