Gating the Selectivity Filter in ClC Chloride Channels
Abstract
ClC channels conduct chloride (Cl – ) ions across cell membranes and thereby govern the electrical activity of muscle cells and certain neurons, the transport of fluid and electrolytes across epithelia, and the acidification of intracellular vesicles. The structural basis of ClC channel gating was studied. Crystal structures of wild-type and mutant Escherichia coli ClC channels bound to a monoclonal Fab fragment reveal three Cl – binding sites within the 15-angstrom neck of an hourglass-shaped pore. The Cl – binding site nearest the extracellular solution can be occupied either by a Cl – ion or by a glutamate carboxyl group. Mutations of this glutamate residue in Torpedo ray ClC channels alter gating in electrophysiological assays. These findings reveal a form of gating in which the glutamate carboxyl group closes the pore by mimicking a Cl – ion.

In CLC channels, the equivalent glutamate gates the conduction pathway depending on its protonation state, and in CLC transporters, the glutamate participates in transport of the permeant H+.

“In CLC-ec1, chloride ions are coordinated by residues S107 (helix α D) and Y445 (helix α R) at the central binding site, with E148 (helix α F) serving as a gate for the external site (Dutzler et al., 2003).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
