K+ channels are highly selective for K+ over Na+. Here we present several crystal structures of the MthK K+ channel pore at up to 1.45 Å resolution. The MthK selectivity filter maintains a conductive conformation even in the absence of K+, allowing the channel to conduct Na+. The high resolution structures along with single channel recordings allow for an accurate analysis of how K+ competes with Na+ in a conductive selectivity filter. At high K+ concentrations, two K+ ions equivalently occupy the four sites in the selectivity filter while at low K+/high Na+ a single K+ ion remains bound in the selectivity filter, preferably at site 1 or 3. This single K+ binding at low concentration effectively blocks the permeation of Na+, providing a structural basis for the anomalous mole-fraction effect, a key property of multi-ion pores.
