Dear Editor,rnPotassium channels are integral membrane proteins that selectively conduct K+ ions across cell membrane (Hille, 2001). They play essential roles in maintaining cellular ionic homoeostasis and generating action membrane potentials in excitable cells. The mechanism of K+ selectivity has been evaluated in many biophysical and physiological studies (Zhou et al., 2001;Liu et al., 2015;Schewe et al., 2016). A highly conserved signature sequence, TVGYG, in the selectivity filter of potassium channels (e.g., KcsA) is known to coordinate K+ions (Zhou et al., 2001).
