Abstract
⺠Caveolin-3 (cav3) directly interacts with large conductance Ca2+ activated K+ (BKCa) channel. ⺠Single molecular images were obtained by total internal reflection fluorescent (TIRF) microscopy. ⺠Direct molecular interaction was detected as fluorescent resonance energy transfer (FRET). ⺠Cav3 binds to a specific C terminus domain of BKCa channel. ⺠The interaction with cav3 regulates BKCa channel trafficking to cell surface and their accumulation to caveola.
