Mutation of S4 residues affects inactivation at a midway point during the transition pathway. (A) REFER plots of the log forward unidirectional rate constant, log(kinact,0), against the log equilibrium constant, log(Keq,0), for inactivation, in families of mutations at individual residues: i, Leu529; ii, Leu530; iii, Leu532; iv, Val535. (B and C) REFER plots for all mutations at Leu529, Leu530, Leu532, and Val535 combined (B) or all S4 residue mutations (C). Data are presented as means ± SEM for 3–14 cells. The slope of the linear regression analysis (solid black lines) for each family of mutations represents the Φ-value, as indicated, and can be compared with the slope for all other S4 mutations (solid gray lines). ANCOVA was used to determine statistical significance; *, P < 0.05.
