Voltage-dependence of activation was determined by fitting data to a Boltzmann function, equation (2), to determine the midpoint of channel activation (V1/2) and relative voltage sensitivity (k). All data are represented as mean ± SEM, n = 4–8 oocytes for each channel type. Edited (E) and non-edited (N) isoforms of the mutant channels were compared to WT E and WT N channels, respectively: ***p ≤ 0.001; ****p < 0.0001. All types of N channels were compared to their respective E channels: ++p ≤ 0.005; +++p ≤ 0.001. Due to multiple comparisons, significance was set at p ≤ 0.005.
