Journal ArticleDOI
Cyclic Nucleotide-Gated Ion Channels
TL;DR: A picture is beginning to emerge for how the binding of cyclic nucleotide is transduced into the opening of the pore and how this allosteric transition is modulated by various physiological effectors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Side-Dependent Inhibition of a Prokaryotic ClC by DIDS
Kimberly Matulef,Merritt Maduke +1 more
TL;DR: It is discovered that this transporter is inhibited by the stilbenedisulfonate 4,4-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS), which will be useful for generating "functionally oriented" preparations of ClC-ec1, in which DIDS is used to silence transporters in one orientation but not the other.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discovery of Potent CLC Chloride Channel Inhibitors
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that polythiourea products derived from DIDS hydrolysis inhibit three different CLC chloride-transport proteins, ClC-ec1, Cl C-0, and ClC -Ka, more effectively than DIDS itself.
Journal ArticleDOI
The CLC 'chloride channel' family: revelations from prokaryotes.
Kimberly Matulef,Merritt Maduke +1 more
TL;DR: The structural features and molecular mechanisms of CLC channels and antiporters are discussed and some striking similarities between these CLCs are highlighted and compelling questions that remain to be addressed are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis and characterization of a specific small-molecule inhibitor directed against a CLC antiporter (ClC-ec1) is described, which has low micromolar affinity and has no specific effect on a CCL channel.
