摘要
In the closed structure of the P2X cation channel, three alpha-helical transmembrane domains cross the membrane obliquely. In rat P2X2 receptors, these intersect at Thr(339). Replacing Thr(339) by lysine in one, two or three subunits progressively increased chloride permeability and reduced unitary conductance. This implies that the closed-open transition involves a symmetrical separation of the three subunits and that Thr(339) from each subunit contributes symmetrically to the open channel permeation pathway.
