    Domain–domain interactions determine the gating, permeation, pharmacology, and subunit modulation of the IKs ion channel

    Mark A Zaydman, Marina A Kasimova ... Jianmin Cui
    Contrary to a generally accepted principle, the pore properties of KCNQ1 channels depend on the states of voltage-sensing domains activation; KCNE1 alters the voltage-sensing domains-pore coupling to modulate KCNQ1 channel properties.

    Molecular basis for functional connectivity between the voltage sensor and the selectivity filter gate in Shaker K+ channels

    Carlos AZ Bassetto, João Luis Carvalho-de-Souza, Francisco Bezanilla
    A chain of residues connecting the voltage sensing domain and the pore domain is responsible for a noncanonical communication between these domains.

    Dendritic branch structure compartmentalizes voltage-dependent calcium influx in cortical layer 2/3 pyramidal cells

    Andrew T Landau, Pojeong Park ... Bernardo L Sabatini
    Elaborate dendritic branch patterns lead to a local and branch-specific reduction in impedance, which attenuates back-propagating action potentials and limits voltage-gated calcium influx.
