Ion–Ion Interactions at the Selectivity Filter: Evidence from K+-Dependent Modulation of Tetraethylammonium Efficacy in Kv2.1 Potassium Channels

In the Kv2.1 potassium channel, binding of K+ to a high-affinity site associated with the selectivity filter modulates channel sensitivity to external TEA. In channels carrying Na+ current, K+ interacts with the TEA modulation site at concentrations ≤30 μM. In this paper, we further characterized th...
