The near-atomic resolution structure of the pore-forming elements of RyR1 showing two diagonal protomers (Extended Data Figure 8 in
10). The grey transmembrane S5 and S6 helices and red pore helix, S5–pore helix linker, and SF linker between the pore helix and S6 helix are shown. Mutagenesis studies suggest that residues D4878, E4907, and E4908 in the outer regions of the pore helix are associated with K218, K220, and K224 in Trisk 95
