Overview of characteristic features found in voltage-gated K+ channels of different taxa.

Data derived from: + protein models* crystal structures; E experiments; or S sequence analysis. ‘n.a.’ not available data due to lacking structure. E’ an interaction between the S4-S5 linker and the S6 end has been observed experimentally, but it is not clear in which state the interaction occurs.M and C in the column ‘structure’ indicate availability of protein models (M) or crystal structures (C). Number given in brackets following the ‘C’ indicates PDB ID of the respective structure.Overview of characteristic features found in voltage-gated K+ channels of different taxa.
