"However, an essential role of the GR domain may be excluded, at least in our experimental conditions, because the truncated Slo1 channel without the GR domain can be robustly stimulated by PIP 2 when coexpressed with beta1."

reach
"PIP 2 clearly decreased macroscopic currents through Slo1 and Slo1 + gamma1 but increased macroscopic currents through Slo1 + beta1 and Slo1 + beta4 (XREF_FIG)."

reach
"Previous findings demonstrated that metabolic products of PIP 2 and downstream targets such as PLC, ryanodine receptors, kinases, and free fatty acids modulate BK channel activity."

reach
"Additionally, activation of lipid kinases via Mg-ATP increases membrane PIP 2 levels and thus modulates BK channel activity."

reach
"Moreover, the differential expression of BK accessory subunits across tissues raises the possibility that a direct PIP 2 modulation of BK channel function is specifically relevant in tissues where the beta 1 subunit is highly expressed."

reach
"Therefore, the sequence RKK in the cbv1 S6-S7 linker is involved in PIP 2 activation of the BK channel."

reach
"In the absence of Ca 2+ at very negative voltages where the VSDs are mostly at rest, PIP 2 increased P o in both Slo1 (XREF_FIG) and Slo1 + beta1 (XREF_FIG), and the fractional increases were indistinguishable between the two channel types (P = 0.955; XREF_FIG), despite the contrasting effects at more positive voltages where VSD activation and G/G max are appreciable."

reach
"Two distinct effects of PIP 2 underlie auxiliary subunit dependent modulation of Slo1 BK channels."

reach
"In spite of the key roles of PIP 2 and BK channels in cell excitability and signaling, it remains unknown whether PIP 2 can directly modulate BK channel function."
