      abstract = {By leveraging the inhibitory effects of divalent cations  Ca2+ and Ba2+, I determined the structure of a homotrimeric  ASIC in a high pH resting conformation by both x-ray  crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM).  These results demonstrated that collapse of the acidic  pocket is required for proton-dependent activation and that  flexible linkers within the palm domain rearrange to enable  channel desensitization. Moreover, the location of  state-dependent Ba2+ sites within the acidic pocket and  central vestibule, determined by anomalous scattering x-ray  crystallography, indicates that inhibition of  proton-dependent gating by divalent cations is at least  partly due to competition for similar binding sites.},
