Chloride/proton antiporter activity of mammalian CLC proteins ClC-4 and ClC-5
2005
Overview
ClC-4 and ClC-5 are members of the CLC gene family

, with ClC-5 mutated in Dent's disease

, a nephropathy associated with low-molecular-mass proteinuria and eventual renal failure. ClC-5 has been proposed to be an electrically shunting Cl

channel in early endosomes, facilitating intraluminal acidification

antiporters

, we hypothesized that mammalian CLC proteins might not be classical Cl

ion channels but might exhibit Cl

-coupled proton transport activity. Here we report that ClC-4 and ClC-5 carry a substantial amount of protons across the plasma membrane when activated by positive voltages, as revealed by measurements of pH close to the cell surface. Both proteins are able to extrude protons against their electrochemical gradient, demonstrating secondary active transport. H

, transport was abolished when a pore glutamate was mutated to alanine (E211A). ClC-0, ClC-2 and ClC-Ka proteins showed no significant proton transport. The muscle channel ClC-1 exhibited a small H

transport that might be physiologically relevant. For ClC-5, we estimated that Cl

and H

transport contribute about equally to the total charge movement, raising the possibility that the coupled Cl

transport of ClC-4 and ClC-5 is of significant magnitude
