Modification of R362C/W434F. (A–D) Effect of MTSEA and MTSES modification in oocytes expressing R362C/W434F. Currents recorded by two-microelectrode voltage clamp. Holding and tail potential, −100 mV; 20-mV steps between −140 and +100 mV. Linear capacity–corrected currents used a 20-mV depolarization from +60 mV. Q-V relationships obtained from uncorrected currents (Aggarwal and MacKinnon, 1996). (E) Fractional effect of modification of R362C/W434F on Q tot. Dashed lines are predictions for adding one positive charge (1.44) or one negative charge (0.56) to each S4 segment. Cationic adducts increase Q tot by an amount insignificantly different from the predicted 44%, but significantly different from the control (*, P < 0.01). MTSES modification causes a significant reduction of Q tot (*), but not down to the predicted level.
