“…KAT1 assembles as a homotetramer, but its close homolog, the so-called "silent" KC1 channel monomer, normally functions in vivo as a heterotetramer with the AKT1 K 1 channel subunit (Duby et al, 2008;Honsbein et al, 2009). Both channel assemblies show gating that is significantly altered, with opposing effects, by SYP121 and VAMP721 (Honsbein et al, 2009;Grefen et al, 2010Grefen et al, , 2015Zhang et al, 2015Zhang et al, , 2017Lefoulon et al, 2018). However, it is not known whether these characteristics are retained in combination with the cognate Qbc-SNARE SNAP33.…”
