TMC1 and TMC2 Proteins Are Pore-Forming Subunits of Mechanosensitive Ion Channels.

abstract：:I(Ks) voltage-gated K(+) channels contain four pore-forming KCNQ1 subunits and MinK accessory subunits in a number that has been controversial. Here, I(Ks) channels assembled naturally by monomer subunits are compared to those with linked subunits that force defined stoichiometries. Two strategies that exploit charybd...
