Abstract
Large-conductance Ca2+- and voltage-activated K+ (BK) channels play many physiological roles, ranging from the maintenance of smooth muscle tone to the modulation of alcohol tolerance. In most cases, this physiological versatility of the BK channel is due to the association of the pore-forming α-subunit with β-subunits. Therefore, it is of importance to know what the structural consequences of this association are. Here, using lanthanide-based resonance energy transfer, we were able to determine the extracellular position of transmembrane segments S0–S2 with and without the β1-subunit and the position of the two transmembrane segments of the β1 subunit in the α/β1-subunit complex. We concluded that β1 produces rearrangements of the BK voltage sensor domain.
