It further corroborates a ball-and-chain type gating mechanism for ClC-2 by identifying a putative receptor region for the amino-terminal inactivation particle.

J Biol Chem 1997; 272:3615-3621. In this study it is shown that ICln-type currents can also be activated in oocytes by expressing the structurally different ClC-6 protein, as well as by a brief elevation of the incubation temperature. The main conclusion from this work is that ICln is not a chloride channel.

This study shows that mutations in the CLC-Kb chloride channel cause Bartter'syndrome, and thereby establishes that this channel is involved in renal salt reabsorption. Many mutations in CLCNKB probably arise because this gene is in close proximity to the highly homologous CLCNKA gene; both genes are located on human chromosome 1p36 [29, 47].

43. Duan D, Winter C, Cowley S, Hume JR, Horowitz B. Molecular identification of a volume-regulated chloride channel. Nature 197; 390:417-421. This is an exciting paper showing that ClC-3 expression in 3T3 cells leads to the appearance of volume-regulated chloride channels. These are already open under nominally isotonic conditions and increase twofold by cell swelling. Unexpectedly, the ion selectivity of currents differs from that reported for the highly homologous ClC-4 and ClC-5 chloride channels. Mutagenesis of a residue, known to influence ion selectivity and rectification in other CLC channels, has similar effects on ClC-3-induced currents, strongly supporting the theory that these are directly mediated by ClC-3. If confirmed, this work would be a major breakthrough.
