Figure 4.

The inactivating phenotype of Kir6.2[R192A] is rescued by introduced Kir2.1 CD-I contacts. (A) Current response after initial patch excision of WT (black), R192A (blue), and R192A/H193D/T223R (red) channels, normalized to the peak current amplitude (Ipk). Steady-state current (Iss) shows the extent of channel inactivation. (B) Extent (1 − Iss/Ipk; left) and time course (τinact; right) of inactivation for CD-I mutations, from experiments as in Fig. 3. (C and D) Fold increase of steady-state (Iss; C) and initial (Ipk; D) current amplitude after PIP2 potentiation; means ± SEM; *, P < 0.05 relative to WT means; †, P < 0.05 relative to R192A means (Student’s t test).
