Extracellular Zinc Ion Inhibits ClC-0 Chloride Channels by Facilitating Slow Gating
Extracellular Zn2+ was found to reversibly inhibit the ClC-0 Cl- channel. The apparent on and off rates of the inhibition were highly temperature sensitive, suggesting an effect of Zn2+ on the slow gating (or inactivation) of ClC-0. In the absence of Zn2+, the rate of the slow-gating relaxation increased with temperature, with a Q10 of approximately 37. Extracellular Zn2+ facilitated the slow-g...
متن کاملTemperature Dependence of Fast and Slow Gating Relaxations of ClC-0 Chloride Channels
The chloride channel from the Torpedo electric organ, ClC-0, is the best studied member of a large gene-family (Jentsch, T.J. 1996. Curr. Opin. Neurobiol. 6:303-310.). We investigate the temperature dependence of both the voltage- and chloride-dependent fast gate and of the slow gate of the "double-barreled" ClC-0 expressed in Xenopus oocytes. Kinetics of the fast gate exhibit only a moderate t...
متن کاملElimination of the Slow Gating of Clc-0 Chloride Channel by a Point Mutation
The inactivation of the ClC-0 chloride channel is very temperature sensitive and is greatly facilitated by the binding of a zinc ion (Zn2+) from the extracellular side, leading to a Zn2+-induced current inhibition. To further explore the relation of Zn2+ inhibition and the ClC-0 inactivation, we mutated all 12 cysteine amino acids in the channel and assayed the effect of Zn2+ on these mutants. ...
متن کاملElectrostatic Control and Chloride Regulation of the Fast Gating of ClC-0 Chloride Channels
The opening and closing of chloride (Cl-) channels in the ClC family are thought to tightly couple to ion permeation through the channel pore. In the prototype channel of the family, the ClC-0 channel from the Torpedo electric organ, the opening-closing of the pore in the millisecond time range known as "fast gating" is regulated by both external and internal Cl- ions. Although the external Cl-...
متن کاملComment on ion transit pathways and gating in ClC chloride channels.
ClC chloride channels possess a homodimeric structure in which each monomer contains an independent chloride ion pathway. ClC channel gating is regulated by chloride ion concentration, pH and voltage. Based on structural and physiological evidence, it has been proposed that a glutamate residue on the extracellular end of the selectivity filter acts as a fast gate. We utilized a new search algor...
