Signal Transduction at the Domain Interface of Prokaryotic Pentameric Ligand-Gated Ion Channels.

Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels are activated by the binding of agonists to a site distant from the ion conduction path. These membrane proteins consist of distinct ligand-binding and pore domains that interact via an extended interface. Here, we have investigated the role of residues at this i...
