Electro-steric opening of the clc-2 chloride channel gate
Abstract The widely expressed two-pore homodimeric inward rectifier CLC-2 chloride channel regulates transepithelial chloride transport, extracellular chloride homeostasis, and neuronal excitability. Each pore is independently gated at hyperpolarized voltages by a conserved pore glutamate. Presumabl...

Abstract The widely expressed two-pore homodimeric inward rectifier CLC-2 chloride channel regulates transepithelial chloride transport, extracellular chloride homeostasis, and neuronal excitability. Each pore is independently gated at hyperpolarized voltages by a conserved pore glutamate. Presumably, exiting chloride ions push glutamate outwardly while external protonation stabilizes it. To understand the mechanism of mouse CLC-2 opening we used homology modelling-guided structure–function analysis. Structural modelling suggests that glutamate E213 interacts with tyrosine Y561 to close a pore.
