By a so far unknown mechanism, the four γ subunits reduce the need for voltage-dependent activation and, thereby, allow Slo to open independently of an action potential. Here, using cryo-EM, we reveal how the transmembrane helix of γ1/LRRC26 binds and presumably stabilizes the activated voltage-sensor domain of Slo1. The activation is further enhanced by an intracellular polybasic stretch which locally changes the charge gradient across the membrane. Our data provide a possible explanation for Slo1 regulation by the four γ subunits and also their different activation efficiencies. This suggests a novel activation mechanism of voltage-gated ion channels by auxiliary subunits. |
