Cryo-EM and electrophysiology reveal the mechanism of SK2 channel modulation by the bee toxin apamin and small molecules, providing insights that enable the rational design of targeted SK2 channel therapeutics.
A key finding is that MCAK binds to the proximal region of GTP cap where GDP‧Pi-tubulins accumulate, in addition to curved protofilaments at the distalmost tip.
