    Abstract The recent deluge of high-resolution structural information on membrane proteins has not been accompanied by a comparable increase in our ability to functionally interrogate these proteins. Current functional assays often are not quantitative or are performed in conditions that significantly differ from those used in structural experiments, thus limiting the mechanistic correspondence between structural and functional experiments.

    Abstract Since their serendipitous discovery the CLC family of Cl(-) transporting proteins has been a never ending source of surprises. From their double-barrelled architecture to their complex structure and divergence as channels and transporters, the CLCs never cease to amaze biophysicists, biochemists and physiologists alike. These unusual functional properties allow the CLCs to fill diverse physiological niches, regulating processes that range from muscle contraction to acidification of intracellular organelles, nutrient accumulation and survival of bacteria to environmental stresses. Over the last 15 years, the availability of atomic-level information on the structure of the CLCs, coupled to the discovery that the family is divided into passive channels and secondary active transporters, has revolutionized our understanding of their function. These breakthroughs led to the identification of the key structural elements regulating gating, transport, selectivity and regulation by ligands. Unexpectedly, many lines of evidence indicate that the CLC exchangers function according to a non-conventional transport mechanism that defies the fundamental tenets of the alternating-access paradigm for exchange transport, paving the way for future unexpected insights into the principles underlying active transport and channel gating.

    Abstract Phospholipid scramblases catalyze the rapid trans-bilayer movement of lipids down their concentration gradients. This process is essential for numerous cellular signaling functions including cell fusion, blood coagulation, and apoptosis. The importance of scramblases is highlighted by the number of human diseases caused by mutations in these proteins. Because of their indispensable function, it is essential to understand and characterize the molecular function of phospholipid scramblases. Powerful tools to measure lipid transport in cells are available. However, these approaches provide limited mechanistic insights into the molecular bases of scrambling. Here we describe in detail an in vitro phospholipid scramblase assay and the accompanying analysis which allows for determination of the macroscopic rate constants associated with phospholipid scrambling. Notably, members of the TMEM16 family of scramblases also function as nonselective ion channels. To better understand the physiological relevance of this channel function as well as its relationship to the scrambling activity of the TMEM16s we also describe in detail an in vitro flux assay to measure nonselective channel activity. Together, these two assays can be used to investigate the dual activities of the TMEM16 scramblases/nonselective channels.

    Abstract Accumulation of glutamate in synaptic vesicles is mediated by vesicular glutamate transporters called VGLUTs. In the current issue of Neuron, Preobraschenski et al. (2014) show that the VGLUTs, in addition to transporting glutamate, also provide the conductances necessary to maintain the appropriate voltage and pH inside these vesicles.

    Abstract CLCs are dimeric chloride channels and anion/proton exchangers that regulate processes such as muscle contraction and endo-lysosome acidification. Common gating controls their activity; its closure simultaneously silences both protomers, and its opening allows them to independently transport ions. Mutations affecting common gating in human CLCs cause dominant genetic disorders. The structural rearrangements underlying common gating are unknown. Here, using single-particle cryo-electron microscopy, we show that the prototypical Escherichia coli CLC-ec1 undergoes large-scale rearrangements in activating conditions. The slow, pH-dependent remodeling of the dimer interface leads to the concerted opening of the intracellular H
