The paper shows the first structure of a cytoplasmic domain of a member of the ClC family. The protein consists of two well defined and tightly interacting CBS sub-domains, which constitute about two-thirds of the protein. The remaining third, which is of low sequence complexity, is disordered and therefore lacks electron density. Although the crystal structure does not reveal the quaternary structure of the domains, analytical ultracentrifugation experiments demonstrate that the protein forms a dimer in solution.

17. - transporters. By using a combination of two electrode voltage clamp experiments of ClC proteins expressed in Xenopus oocytes and recording the extracellular pH close to the oocyte membrane, the authors show that chloride flux in ClC-4 and ClC-5 is associated with proton transport in the opposite direction. It was thus establishing that a sub-family of the eukaryotic ClC proteins shows similar transporter function as EcClC, whereas other members residing in the plasma membrane clearly work as ion channels.

J Biol Chem 280 (2005) 32452-32458. The first paper that systematically investigates the regulation of the skeletal muscle channel ClC-1 by nucleotides. By using whole cell patch clamp experiments of ClC-1 expressed in HEK cells, the authors studied the voltage dependent gating behavior of ClC-1 in response to ATP binding. In a series of experiments it was demonstrated that binding of ATP shifts the voltage dependence of gating to more depolarized voltages, and that the nucleotide probably binds to the cytoplasmic domains.
