Ion permeation through a Cl--selective channel designed from a CLC Cl-/H+ exchanger.
The CLC family of Cl(-)-transporting proteins includes both Cl(-) channels and Cl(-)/H(+) exchange transporters. CLC-ec1, a structurally known bacterial homolog of the transporter subclass, exchanges two Cl(-) ions per proton with strict, obligatory stoichiometry. Point mutations at two residues, Glu(148) and Tyr(445), are known to impair H(+) movement while preserving Cl(-) transport. In the x...
متن کاملFacilitated Chloride Transport Across Phosphatidylcholine Bilayers by an Acyclic Calixarene Derivative: Structure- Function Relationships
As the field of anion transport develops, it becomes increasingly important to understand mechanistic and structure-function relationships for those synthetic compounds that facilitate transmembrane anion transport. We define some key structural aspects that control the Cl anion transport function of an acyclic calixarene analog, triamide 2.We find that the secondary amide NH groups are necessa...
متن کاملChloride Ion Transport by the E. coli CLC Cl−/H+ Antiporter: A Combined Quantum-Mechanical and Molecular-Mechanical Study
We performed steered molecular dynamics (SMD) and umbrella sampling simulations of Cl- ion migration through the transmembrane domain of a prototypical E. coli CLC Cl-/H+ antiporter by employing combined quantum-mechanical (QM) and molecular-mechanical (MM) calculations. The SMD simulations revealed interesting conformational changes of the protein. While no large-amplitude motions of the prote...
متن کاملThe role of chloride transport in the control of the membrane potential in skeletal muscle--theory and experiment.
We present a model for the control of the transmembrane potential of mammalian skeletal muscle cell. The model involves active and passive transport of Na(+), K(+), and Cl(-). As we check the model against experimental measurements on murine skeletal muscle cells, we find that the model can account for the observed bistability of the transmembrane potential at low extracellular potassium concen...
متن کاملChloride transport across lipid bilayers and transmembrane potential induction by an oligophenoxyacetamide.
This contribution describes the discovery and properties of a synthetic, low-molecular weight compound that transports Cl- across bilayer membranes. Such compounds have potential as therapeutics for cystic fibrosis and cancer. The H+/Cl- co-transport activities of acyclic tetrabutylamides 1-6 were compared by using a pH-stat assay with synthetic EYPC liposomes. The ion transport activity of the...
