Replacement of Trp278 in the coccolithophore EhHV1 with Ala, Ser, or Phe hastens channel opening to the same extent. The activation time constant, τact, was determined by fitting the turn-on of current with a single rising exponential. The mean ratio of WT/W278X within the range of 10–60 mV was 3.5 (W278A), 5.7 (W278F), and 6.3 (W278S). Numbers of cells are: WT, three to six; W278A, three to four; W278F; two to four; W278S, two to three. Single mutants were expressed in HEK-293 or COS-7 cells, and measurements were performed in whole-cell configuration at symmetrical pH 7. Error bars represent mean ± SEM.
