Abstract
Ion channels can tailor their activity to the particular cellular context by incorporating auxiliary subunits that are channel-type specific. In this issue of Cell, Ávalos Prado et al. now find that a well-characterized voltage-gated K<sup>+</sup> channel auxiliary subunit can also modulate the gating of Ca<sup>2+</sup>-activated Cl<sup>-</sup> channels.
