[ATCV-1 Kcv] This protein (82 amino acids) is encoded by the Acanthocystis turfacea Chlorella virus 1 (ATCV-1), a member of the Chlorella viruses belonging to the family of Phycodnaviridae. It acts as a viroporin and functions as a potassium-selective ion channel (Gazzarrini S et al, 2009). ATCV-1 Kcv forms a functional channel in Xenopus oocytes and rescues Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants that lack endogenous potassium uptake systems.
