Abstract

Protein-lipid interactions are a key element of the function of many integral membrane proteins. These potential interactions should be considered alongside the complexity and diversity of membrane lipid composition. inward rectifier potassium channel (Kir) Kir2.2 has multiple interactions with plasma membrane lipids: Phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate (PIP2) activates the channel; a secondary anionic lipid site has been identified, which augments the activation by PIP2; and cholesterol inhibits the channel.
