Figure 1.
Sequence alignment of the putative transmembrane segments of domain III of the brain, nerve, and the muscle sodium channels (Nav1.2, Nav1.4, and Nav1.5) with a chimeric potassium channel (Kv1.2/2.1). The conserved positive charges of the S4 transmembrane segment are highlighted in green. The mutated regions in the S4–S5 linker, N terminus of S5, and C terminus of S6 are shown in red. The fluorophore was attached to an introduced cysteine at the L1115C (in orange) position.
