Functional study of CLC-1 mutants expressed in Xenopus oocytes reveals that a C-terminal region Thr891-Ser892-Thr893 is responsible for the effects of protein kinase C activator.

Abstract excerpt

ClC-1 plays an important part in the maintenance of membrane potential in the mammalian skeletal muscle. To investigate the phosphorylation sites responsible for the effect of PKC (protein kinase C) activator, we constructed 21 different ClC-1 mutants with mutations at predicted phosphorylation sites for PKC. The functional experiments were performed on both wild-type and mutant proteins (17 point mutants and 4...
