TABLE 1

ASIC structures

All crystal structures were obtained from chicken ASIC1. The structures 2QTS and 3HGC (4NYK) likely represent the desensitized state, whereas the other structures represent the open state. 2QTS, 3S3W, 4FZ0, and 4FZ1 display a continuous TM2 segment, whereas in 4NYK (reinterpretation of 3HGC) and 4NTW the TM2 is split in two parts by the selectivity filter GAS motif.

  • a Electron density of this crystal was reinterpreted in the transmembrane segment, available under PDB ID 4NYK; a structure was also obtained from these crystals soaked in Cs+.

  • b Structures from this crystal were also obtained soaked in Cs+ (2.6 Å, 4NTY) or in amiloride (2.3 Å, 4NTX).
