Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the muscular voltage-dependent Cl-channel, CIC-1, lead to recessive and dominant myotonia. Here we analyse the effects of one dominant (G200R) and three recessive (Y150C, Y261C, and M485V) mutations after functional expression in Xenopus oocytes. Glycine 200 is a highly conserved amino acid located in a conserved stretch in the putatively cytoplasmic loop between domains D2 and D3. Similar to several...
