Immobilization of the selectivity filter gate abolishes the fluorescence dequenching. (A and B) Representative fluorescence signals recorded from Kv1.5 A397C R487V mutant channels during a 100-ms voltage clamp pulse from −80 to +60 mV. Similar recordings were obtained from four (R487V) or nine (W472F) other cells. (C and D) Fluorescence signals recorded from Kv1.5 A397C H463G mutant channels during a 100-ms voltage clamp pulse from −80 to +60 mV. Similar recordings were obtained from four (R487V) or five (H463G) other cells.
