“…This membrane patch can be voltage clamped so that fluctuations in current due to the opening and closing of single Cl-channels are directly observed. The voltage-dependent gating and ion conduction properties ofCl-channels in these reconstituted membrane patches are identical to those reported for channels directly inserted into planar bilayers without previous exposure to detergent (15)(16)(17).MATERIAL AND METHODS Biochemical. Phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn) and phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) from bovine heart and brain, respectively, were obtained from Avanti Biochemicals.…”

“…4. This channel has properties identifying it as the voltage-dependent Cl-channel from Torpedo electroplax, which has been studied in detail by fusion of native electroplax membranes with planar phospholipid bilayers (15)(16)(17). As shown in Fig.…”

“…The first protein of the CLC family to be identified is ClC-0, a CLC present in the electric organ of torpedo fishes (Miller & White 1980). The cloning of the ClC-0 gene (Jentsch et al 1990) led to the identification of a wide family of related proteins whose members are present in many bacteria and in all eukaryotic organisms analysed up to now (Miller 2006).…”

“…This channel has been characterized in detail, after insertion into planar lipid bilayers (1)(2)(3)(4)(5) or giant lipid vesicles (6, 7), by observation of current fluctuations under voltage-clamp conditions. At the single-channel level, an unusual gating behavior is observed: a "bursting" process in which the open channel displays three distinguishable "substates" (4,5).…”

“…In the plasma membrane of the electric organ of Torpedo californica resides a Cl--specific channel whose function is to establish the electroplax cell as a low-internal-resistance battery that the fish may use as a source of electric current in stunning its prey (1)(2)(3)(4)(5). This channel has been characterized in detail, after insertion into planar lipid bilayers (1)(2)(3)(4)(5) or giant lipid vesicles (6, 7), by observation of current fluctuations under voltage-clamp conditions.…”
