Pant et al. describe the mechanism by which PIP2 might regulate homomeric Kv7.2 channels. They identify sites important in the binding of the PIP2 lipid to Kv7.2 channels and propose that the PIP2 binding to a specific site results in the coupling between the voltage sensor ___domain (VSD) and pore ___domain (PD), which stabilizes the open state of the channel.
