摘要: SliK, a K+ channel encoded by the Streptomyces KcsA gene, was expressed, purified, and reconstituted in liposomes. A concentrative 86Rb+ flux assay used to assess ion transport properties of SliK. SliK-mediated ionic shows strong selectivity for over Na+ is inhibited micromolar concentrations Ba2+, mirroring basic permeation characteristic eukaryotic channels studied electrophysiological methods. uptake kinetics equilibrium measurements also demonstrate that purified protein fully active.
