Fig. 2. TMEM87A is a bona fide functional ion channel in proteoliposome.

Fig. 2

a Schematic diagram showing the procedure for reconstitution of TMEM87A into liposome (8:2, POPC:POPG) with dehydration/rehydration method for single-channel recording. b Representative spontaneous single-channel currents from the reconstituted proteoliposome of TMEM87A under voltage steps (from +90 to −150 mV, 30 mV step) from the same patch condition. c Voltage-dependent channel-opening probability (Po) of TMEM87A at each holding potential (n = 3). d I-V relationship of TMEM87A single-channel unitary current activities (n = 3). Data were fitted with a polynomial. e The unitary current × open probability-voltage relationship of TMEM87A (n = 3). f Amplitude histogram of TMEM87A single-channel unitary current activities with open (O) and closed (C) states at +90 mV (orange) and −150 mV (purple) from (b). Distribution data are fitted with a sum of two Gaussians at each holding potential. Data were presented as the mean ± SEM. The n numbers are from three independent proteoliposome experiments. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
