The β1 subunit shifts the closed channel's charge–voltage (Q–V) relation leftward without changing its shape. (A) On and Off Q–V relations determined from a single BKα channel patch. (B) On and Off Q–V relations determined from a single BKα+β1 channel patch. (C) Normalized averaged Qon–V relations for the BKα (11 curves averaged) and BKα+β1 channels (14 curves averaged). Each curve in C is fitted with a Boltzmann function. The fit parameters are as follows: BKα: z J = 0.577 ± 0.023e, V hc = 151 ± 1.9 mV; BKα+β1: z J = 0.571 ± 0.025 e, V hc = 80 ± 2.4 mV. The error bars in C represent SEM.
