Rashid MU, Coombs KM. Chloride Intracellular Channel Protein 1 (CLIC1) Is a Critical Host Cellular Factor for Influenza A Virus Replication. Viruses 2024; 16:129. [PMID: 38257829 PMCID: PMC10819074 DOI: 10.3390/v16010129] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2023] [Revised: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 01/13/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Influenza A Virus (IAV) uses host cellular proteins during replication in host cells. IAV infection causes elevated expression of chloride intracellular channel protein 1 (CLIC1) in lung epithelial cells, but the importance of this protein in IAV replication is unknown. (2) In this study, we determined the role of CLIC1 in IAV replication by investigating the effects of CLIC1 knockdown (KD) on IAV viral protein translation, genomic RNA transcription, and host cellular proteome dysregulation. (3) Results: CLIC1 KD in A549 human lung epithelial cells resulted in a significant decrease in progeny supernatant IAV, but virus protein expression was unaffected. However, a significantly larger number of viral RNAs accumulated in CLIC1 KD cells. Treatment with a CLIC1 inhibitor also caused a significant reduction in IAV replication, suggesting that CLIC1 is an important host factor in IAV replication. SomaScan®, which measures 1322 proteins, identified IAV-induced dysregulated proteins in wild-type cells and in CLIC1 KD cells. The expression of 116 and 149 proteins was significantly altered in wild-type and in CLIC1 KD cells, respectively. A large number of the dysregulated proteins in CLIC1 KD cells were associated with cellular transcription and predicted to be inhibited during IAV replication. (4) Conclusions: This study suggests that CLIC1 is involved in later stages of IAV replication. Further investigation should clarify mechanism(s) for the development of anti-IAV drugs targeting CLIC1 protein.

Selezneva A, Gibb AJ, Willis D. The Nuclear Envelope as a Regulator of Immune Cell Function. Front Immunol 2022; 13:840069.

Abstract
The traditional view of the nuclear envelope (NE) was that it represented a relatively inert physical barrier within the cell, whose main purpose was to separate the nucleoplasm from the cytoplasm. However, recent research suggests that this is far from the case, with new and important cellular functions being attributed to this organelle. In this review we describe research suggesting an important contribution of the NE and its constituents in regulating the functions of cells of the innate and adaptive immune system. One of the standout properties of immune cells is their ability to migrate around the body, allowing them to carry out their physiological/pathophysiology cellular role at the appropriate location. This together with the physiological role of the tissue, changes in tissue matrix composition due to disease and aging, and the activation status of the immune cell, all result in immune cells being subjected to different mechanical forces. We report research which suggests that the NE may be an important sensor/transducer of these mechanical signals and propose that the NE is an integrator of both mechanical and chemical signals, allowing the cells of the innate immune system to precisely regulate gene transcription and functionality. By presenting this overview we hope to stimulate the interests of researchers into this often-overlooked organelle and propose it should join the ranks of mitochondria and phagosome, which are important organelles contributing to immune cell function.

Abstract
Substantial experimental and epidemiological data have highlighted the interplay between nutritional and genetic factors in the development of congenital heart defects. Retinoic acid (RA), a derivative of vitamin A, plays a key role during vertebrate development including the formation of the heart. Retinoids bind to RA and retinoid X receptors (RARs and RXRs) which then regulate tissue-specific genes. Here, we will focus on the roles of RA signaling and receptors in gene regulation during cardiogenesis, and the consequence of deregulated retinoid signaling on heart formation and congenital heart defects.

Abstract
Nuclear ion channels remain among the least studied and biophysically characterized channels. Although considerable progress has been made in characterizing calcium release channels in the nuclear membrane, very little is known regarding the properties of nuclear monovalent cationic channels. Here, we describe a method to isolate nuclei from adult skeletal muscle fibers that are suitable for electrophysiological experiments. Using this approach, we show for the first time, to our knowledge, that a nuclear monovalent cationic channel (NMCC) is prominently expressed in the inner membrane of nuclei isolated from flexor digitorum brevis skeletal muscle fibers of adult mice. In isotonic 140 mM KCl, the skeletal muscle NMCC exhibits a unitary conductance of ?160 pS and high, voltage-independent open probability. Based on single-channel reversal potential measurements, NMCCs are slightly more permeable to potassium ions over sodium (PK/PNa = 2.68 ± 0.21) and cesium (PK/PCs = 1.39 ± 0.03) ions. In addition, NMCCs do not permeate divalent cations, are inhibited by calcium ions, and demonstrate weak rectification in asymmetric Ca(2+)-containing solutions. Together, these studies characterize a voltage-independent NMCC in skeletal muscle, the properties of which are ideally suited to serve as a countercurrent mechanism during calcium release from the nuclear envelope.

Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play key physiological roles in numerous tissues, including the heart, and their dysfunction influences a wide range of cardiovascular diseases. Recently, the notion of nuclear localization and action of GPCRs has become more widely accepted. Nuclear-localized receptors may regulate distinct signalling pathways, suggesting that the biological responses mediated by GPCRs are not solely initiated at the cell surface but may result from the integration of extracellular and intracellular signalling pathways. Many of the observed nuclear effects are not prevented by classical inhibitors that exclusively target cell surface receptors, presumably because of their structures, lipophilic properties, or affinity for nuclear receptors. In this topical review, we discuss specifically how angiotensin-II, endothelin, β-adrenergic and opioid receptors located on the nuclear envelope activate signalling pathways, which convert intracrine stimuli into acute responses such as generation of second messengers and direct genomic effects, and thereby participate in the development of cardiovascular disorders.

Abstract
Ectopically expressed human KV10.1 channels are relevant players in tumor biology. However, their function as ion channels at the plasma membrane does not totally explain their crucial role in tumors. Both in native and heterologous systems, it has been observed that a majority of KV10.1 channels remain at intracellular locations. In this study we investigated the localization and possible roles of perinuclear KV10.1. We show that KV10.1 is expressed at the inner nuclear membrane in both human and rat models; it co-purifies with established inner nuclear membrane markers, shows resistance to detergent extraction and restricted mobility, all of them typical features of proteins at the inner nuclear membrane. KV10.1 channels at the inner nuclear membrane are not all transported directly from the ER but rather have been exposed to the extracellular milieu. Patch clamp experiments on nuclei devoid of external nuclear membrane reveal the existence of channel activity compatible with KV10.1. We hypothesize that KV10.1 channels at the nuclear envelope might participate in the homeostasis of nuclear K+, or indirectly interact with heterochromatin, both factors known to affect gene expression.

Abstract
Eukaryotic chromosomes are confined to the nucleus, which is separated from the rest of the cell by two concentric membranes known as the nuclear envelope (NE). The NE is punctuated by holes known as nuclear pore complexes (NPCs), which provide the main pathway for transport of cellular material across the nuclear-cytoplasmic boundary. The single NPC is a complicated octameric structure containing more than 100 proteins called nucleoporins. NPCs function as transport machineries for inorganic ions and macromolecules. The most prominent feature of an individual NPC is a large central channel, ~7 nm in width and 50 nm in length. NPCs exhibit high morphological and functional plasticity, adjusting shape to function. Macromolecules ranging from 1 to >100 kDa travel through the central channel into (and out of) the nucleoplasm. Inorganic ions have additional pathways for communication between cytosol and nucleus. NE can turn from a simple sieve that separates two compartments by a given pore size to a smart barrier that adjusts its permeabiltiy to the metabolic demands of the cell. Early microelectrode work characterizes the NE as a membrane barrier of highly variable permeability, indicating that NPCs are under regulatory control. Electrical voltage across the NE is explained as the result of electrical charge separation due to selective barrier permeability and unequal distribution of charged macromolecules across the NE. Patch-clamp work discovers NE ion channel activity associated with NPC function. From comparison of early microelectrode work with patch-clamp data and late results obtained by the nuclear hourglass technique, it is concluded that NPCs are well-controlled supramolecular structures that mediate transport of macromolecules and small ions by separate physical pathways, the large central channel and the small peripheral channels, respectively. Electrical properties of the two pathways are still unclear but could have great impact on the understanding of signal transfer across NE and gene expression.

Abstract
NCC27 is a nuclear chloride ion channel, identified in the PMA-activated U937 human monocyte cell line. NCC27 mRNA is expressed in virtually all cells and tissues and the gene encoding NCC27 is also highly conserved. Because of these factors, we have examined the hypothesis that NCC27 is involved in cell cycle regulation. Electrophysiological studies in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-K1) cells indicated that NCC27 chloride conductance varied according to the stage of the cell cycle, being expressed only on the plasma membrane of cells in G2/M phase. We also demonstrate that Cl- ion channel blockers known to block NCC27 led to arrest of CHO-K1 cells in the G2/M stage of the cell cycle, the same stage at which this ion channel is selectively expressed on the plasma membrane. These data strongly support the hypothesis that NCC27 is involved, in some as yet undetermined manner, in regulation of the cell cycle.

Abstract
Nuclear ionic channels (NICs) represent ubiquitous structures of living cells, although little is known about their functional properties and encoding genes. To characterize NICs, liver nuclear membrane vesicles were reconstituted into either planar lipid bilayers or proteoliposomes. Reconstitution of nuclear envelope (NE) vesicles into planar lipid bilayer proceeded with low efficiency. NE vesicle reconstitution into proteoliposomes led to NIC observations by the patch-clamp technique. Large conductance, voltage-gated, K(+)-permeant and Cl(-)-permeant NICs were characterized. An 80-105-pS K(+)-permeant NIC with conducting sub-state was also recorded. Our data establish that NICs can be characterized upon reconstitution into giant proteoliposomes and retain biophysical properties consistent with those described for native NICs.

Abstract
The outer nuclear membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondrial membrane ion channels are poorly understood, although they are important in the control of compartmental calcium levels, cell division, and apoptosis. Few direct recordings of these ion channels have been made because of the difficulty of accessing these intracellular membranes. Using patch-clamp techniques on isolated nuclei, we measured distinct ion channel classes on the outer nuclear envelope of T-cell (human Jurkat) and BFL5 cell (murine promyelocyte) lines. We first imaged the nuclear envelopes of both Jurkat and FL5 cells with atomic force microscopy to determine the density of pore proteins. The nuclear pore complex was intact at roughly similar densities in both cell types. In patch-clamp recordings of Jurkat nuclear membranes, Cl channels (105 +/- 5 pS) predominated and inactivated with negative pipette potentials. Nucleotides transiently inhibited the anion channel. In contrast, FL5 nuclear channels were cation selective (52 +/- 2 pS), were inactivated with positive membrane potentials, and were insensitive to GTPgammaS applied to the bath. We hypothesize that T- and B-cell nuclear membrane channels are distinct, and that this is perhaps related to their unique roles in the immune system.

Abstract
NCC27 belongs to a family of small, highly conserved, organellar ion channel proteins. It is constitutively expressed by native CHO-K1 and dominantly localized to the nucleus and nuclear membrane. When CHO-K1 cells are transfected with NCC27-expressing constructs, synthesized proteins spill over into the cytoplasm and ion channel activity can then be detected on the plasma as well as nuclear membrane. This provided a unique opportunity to directly compare electrophysiological characteristics of the one cloned channel, both on the nuclear and cytoplasmic membranes. At the same time, as NCC27 is unusually small for an ion channel protein, we wished to directly determine whether it is a membrane-resident channel in its own right. In CHO-K1 cells transfected with epitope-tagged NCC27 constructs, we have demonstrated that the NCC27 conductance is chloride dependent and that the electrophysiological characteristics of the channels are essentially identical whether expressed on plasma or nuclear membranes. In addition, we show that a monoclonal antibody directed at an epitope tag added to NCC27 rapidly inhibits the ability of the expressed protein to conduct chloride, but only when the antibody has access to the tag epitope. By selectively tagging either the amino or carboxyl terminus of NCC27 and varying the side of the membrane from which we record channel activity, we have demonstrated conclusively that NCC27 is a transmembrane protein that directly forms part of the ion channel and, further, that the amino terminus projects outward and the carboxyl terminus inward. We conclude that despite its relatively small size, NCC27 must form an integral part of an ion channel complex.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptors (IP(3)R) and ryanodine receptors (RyR) were localized in cultured rodent muscle fractions by binding of radiolabeled ligands (IP(3) and ryanodine), and IP(3)R were visualized in situ by fluorescence immunocytological techniques. Also explored was the effect of K(+) depolarization on IP(3) mass and Ca(2+) transients studied using a radio-receptor displacement assay and fluorescence imaging of intracellular fluo 3. RyR were located in a microsomal fraction; IP(3)R were preferentially found in the nuclear fraction. Fluorescence associated with anti-IP(3)R antibody was found in the region of the nuclear envelope and in a striated pattern in the sarcoplasmic areas. An increase in external K(+) affected membrane potential and produced an IP(3) transient. Rat myotubes displayed a fast-propagating Ca(2+) signal, corresponding to the excitation-contraction coupling transient and a much slower Ca(2+) wave. Both signals were triggered by high external K(+) and were independent of external Ca(2+). Slow waves were associated with cell nuclei and were propagated leaving "glowing" nuclei behind. Different roles are proposed for at least two types of Ca(2+) release channels, each mediating an intracellular signal in cultured skeletal muscle.

Abstract
Anion transport proteins in mammalian cells participate in a wide variety of cell and intracellular organelle functions, including regulation of electrical activity, pH, volume, and the transport of osmolites and metabolites, and may even play a role in the control of immunological responses, cell migration, cell proliferation, and differentiation. Although significant progress over the past decade has been achieved in understanding electrogenic and electroneutral anion transport proteins in sarcolemmal and intracellular membranes, information on the molecular nature and physiological significance of many of these proteins, especially in the heart, is incomplete. Functional and molecular studies presently suggest that four primary types of sarcolemmal anion channels are expressed in cardiac cells: channels regulated by protein kinase A (PKA), protein kinase C, and purinergic receptors (I(Cl.PKA)); channels regulated by changes in cell volume (I(Cl.vol)); channels activated by intracellular Ca(2+) (I(Cl.Ca)); and inwardly rectifying anion channels (I(Cl.ir)). In most animal species, I(Cl.PKA) is due to expression of a cardiac isoform of the epithelial cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator Cl(-) channel. New molecular candidates responsible for I(Cl.vol), I(Cl.Ca), and I(Cl.ir) (ClC-3, CLCA1, and ClC-2, respectively) have recently been identified and are presently being evaluated. Two isoforms of the band 3 anion exchange protein, originally characterized in erythrocytes, are responsible for Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchange, and at least two members of a large vertebrate family of electroneutral cotransporters (ENCC1 and ENCC3) are responsible for Na(+)-dependent Cl(-) cotransport in heart. A 223-amino acid protein in the outer mitochondrial membrane of most eukaryotic cells comprises a voltage-dependent anion channel. The molecular entities responsible for other types of electroneutral anion exchange or Cl(-) conductances in intracellular membranes of the sarcoplasmic reticulum or nucleus are unknown. Evidence of cardiac expression of up to five additional members of the ClC gene family suggest a rich new variety of molecular candidates that may underlie existing or novel Cl(-) channel subtypes in sarcolemmal and intracellular membranes. The application of modern molecular biological and genetic approaches to the study of anion transport proteins during the next decade holds exciting promise for eventually revealing the actual physiological, pathophysiological, and clinical significance of these unique transport processes in cardiac and other mammalian cells.

Abstract
The identity and location of nuclear cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDE) has yet to be ascertained. Intact cardiac nuclei and subnuclear fractions from ovine hearts were isolated to determine cAMP-specific PDE activity which was 3-fold greater than that of cGMP PDE, the latter being insensitive to Ca-calmodulin and zaprinast. Specific hydrolytic activities of the cardiac nuclear envelopes (NE) were similar to those measured in the corresponding intact nuclei, thus suggesting that most PDE activity is associated with the nuclear membrane. Moreover, the main hydrolytic activities in cardiac nuclei were attributed to PDE4 (56%) and PDE3 (44%). The pharmacological sensitivity of each isoform in terms of IC(50), K(m) and K(i) values was typical of previously characterized cardiac PDE 3 and 4 isoforms. PDE2 (cGMP-stimulated PDE) represented a minor component (8-9%) of total hydrolytic activity. Solubilization of nuclear envelopes and HPLC separation also yielded rolipram-sensitive PDE activities. Upon 1% Triton X-100 extractions, the presence of PDE3 and PDE4 was revealed in a low speed, nucleopore complex-enriched, P1 pellet. In addition, Western blot analysis demonstrated the presence of PDE4B and PDE4D subtypes in the nuclei as well as enrichment in NE. However, in the same preparations, the presence of PDE4A could not be ascertained. Altogether, these results suggest an intrinsic and predominant association of these nuclear PDEs with the NE and much likely with nucleopore complexes.

Abstract
Several types of ionic channels on the outer membrane of the nuclear envelope communicate with the nuclear cisternae. These are distinct from nucleocytoplasmic pathways, the nuclear pores that span the double membrane of the envelope and are the route for RNA and protein traffic in the nucleus. Recent data indicate that the nuclear pores may also function as ion channels. The most probable candidate for nucleocytoplasmic ion flux is a 300-400 pS pathway observed in many nuclear preparations. Morphological and functional studies of nuclear envelope suggest a tight relationship between the large conductance channel and the pore complex. However, there is no direct evidence for gating of the nuclear pore or its ability to open and close as a conventional channel. This study shows that in liver nuclei isolated from newborn mouse, there is a substantial correspondence between the number of pores and the number of channels recorded during patch-clamp. This is not the case for adult nuclei. Although pore density is comparable, some nuclear cytoskeletal components, such as actin and nonmuscle myosin, show a significant increase in the adult preparation. Previous studies demonstrate the presence of these two proteins in association with the pore complex. Here we show that by using actin filament disrupter, we were able to increase the number of active channels in adult isolated nuclei. We suggest that a functional interaction between actin filaments and the nuclear pore complex could regulate nucleocytoplasmic permeability.

Abstract
The patch-clamp technique was applied to study ion conductances in various configurations of the nuclear envelope of non-enzyme-treated red beet (Beta vulgaris L.) nuclei. With excised patches a non-selective cation channel was observed, that was activated by micromolar concentrations of Ca2+ on the nucleoplasmic side of the envelope. The channel activity was also voltage-dependent and the voltage threshold of channel activation changed with the nucleoplasmic Ca2+ concentration. The most prominent conductance level was 110+/-22 pS with 150 mM KCl in the bath and pipette. The channel was permeable to small cations: permeabilities relative to K+ were PK congruent with PNa=1, PCs=0.3, but PCl=0.09. Calcium ions also permeated the channel with PCa=0.43, estimated from reversal potential, or 0.14, estimated from conductance ratio. Zn2+ (1 mM) when applied to the cytoplasmic side of the envelope blocked the channel activity completely, while amiloride (2 mM) reduced the channel current by 86% from the nucleoplasmic side. The properties of the whole-nucleus current (voltage-, time- and Ca2+-dependence) paralleled those observed with excised patches. The channel may provide a Ca2+-regulated pathway for passive diffusion of cations across the nuclear envelope and thus may play an important role in Ca2+-dependent nuclear processes ranging from gene transcription to apoptosis.

Abstract
We describe ATP-dependent inhibition of the 75-105-pS (in 250 mM Cl-) anion channel (SCl) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of rabbit skeletal muscle. In addition to activation by Ca2+ and voltage, inhibition by ATP provides a further mechanism for regulating SCl channel activity in vivo. Inhibition by the nonhydrolyzable ATP analog 5'-adenylylimidodiphosphate (AMP-PNP) ruled out a phosphorylation mechanism. Cytoplasmic ATP (approximately 1 mM) inhibited only when Cl- flowed from cytoplasm to lumen, regardless of membrane voltage. Flux in the opposite direction was not inhibited by 9 mM ATP. Thus ATP causes true, current rectification in SCl channels. Inhibition by cytoplasmic ATP was also voltage dependent, having a K(I) of 0.4-1 mM at -40 mV (Hill coefficient approximately 2), which increased at more negative potentials. Luminal ATP inhibited with a K(I) of approximately 2 mM at +40 mV, and showed no block at negative voltages. Hidden Markov model analysis revealed that ATP inhibition 1) reduced mean open times without altering the maximum channel amplitude, 2) was mediated by a novel, single, voltage-independent closed state (approximately 1 ms), and 3) was much less potent on lower conductance substates than the higher conductance states. Therefore, the SCl channel is unlikely to pass Cl- from cytoplasm to SR lumen in vivo, and balance electrogenic Ca2+ uptake as previously suggested. Possible roles for the SCl channel in the transport of other anions are discussed.

Abstract
Channels selective for potassium or chloride ions are present in membranes of intracellular organelles such as sarcoplasmic (endoplasmic) reticulum, mitochondria, nucleus, synaptic vesicles, and chromaffin, and zymogen granules. They probably play an important role in cellular events such as compensation of electrical charges during transport of Ca2+, delta pH formation in mitochondria or V-ATPase containing membrane granules, and regulation of volume changes, due to potassium and chloride transport into intracellular organelles. Intracellular potassium and chloride channels could also be the target for pharmacologically active compounds. This mini-review describes the basic properties, pharmacology, and current hypotheses concerning the functional role of intracellular potassium and chloride channels.

Abstract
The present paper reviews the application of patch-clamp principles to the detection and measurement of macromolecular translocation along the nuclear pores. We demonstrate that the tight-seal 'gigaseal' between the pipette tip and the nuclear membrane is possible in the presence of fully operational nuclear pores. We show that the ability to form a gigaseal in nucleus-attached configurations does not mean that only the activity of channels from the outer membrane of the nuclear envelope can be detected. Instead, we show that, in the presence of fully operational nuclear pores, it is likely that the large-conductance ion channel activity recorded derives from the nuclear pores. We conclude the technical section with the suggestion that the best way to demonstrate that the nuclear pores are responsible for ion channel activity is by showing with fluorescence microscopy the nuclear translocation of ions and small molecules and the exclusion of the same from the cisterna enclosed by the two membranes of the envelope. Since transcription factors and mRNAs, two major groups of nuclear macromolecules, use nuclear pores to enter and exit the nucleus and play essential roles in the control of gene activity and expression, this review should be useful to cell and molecular biologists interested in understanding how patch-clamp can be used to quantitate the translocation of such macromolecules into and out of the nucleus.

Abstract
The nuclear envelope is composed of two membranes deliminating a perinuclear space which displays functional properties similar to those of a Ca2+-storing compartment. ATP-driven Ca2+ uptake and InsP3-induced Ca2+ release processes have been described in isolated nuclei. Recently, it was reported that cADP-ribose and InsP3 can trigger a nucleoplasmic Ca2+ increase. It was hypothesized that the inner nuclear membrane possesses Ca2+ channels that are regulated by ryanodine or InsP3. Radio-ligand binding assays and Western blot experiments were performed in order to investigate their presence in sheep cardiac and rat liver nuclear envelopes. Ryanodine receptors (RyR) were not detected in liver nuclear envelopes by either binding assay or Western blot analysis. However, cardiac nuclear envelopes were found to retain a very low level of specific ryanodine binding, which was not detected on immuno-blots obtained with three types of isoform-specific RyR antibodies. In contrast, nuclear InsP3-binding sites were consistently detected in both cardiac and liver nuclear envelopes. Altogether, these results provide evidence for the major contributor InsP3-gated Ca2+ channels in control of Ca2+ release from the perinuclear space in liver and cardiac cells.

Abstract
Many intracellular membranes contain ion channels, although their physiological roles are often poorly understood. In this study we incorporated single anion channels colocalized with rat brain endoplasmic reticulum (ER) ryanodine-sensitive Ca(2+)-release channels into planar lipid bilayers. The channels opened in bursts, with more activity at negative (cytoplasm-ER lumen) membrane potentials, and they occupied four open conductance levels with frequencies well described by the binomial equation. The probability of a protomer being open decreased from approximately 0.7 at -40 mV to approximately 0.2 at +40 mV, and the channels selected between different anions in the order PSCN > PNO3 > PBr > PCl > PF. They were also permeant to cations, including the large cation Tris+ (PTris/PCl = 0.16). Their conductance saturated at 170 pS in choline Cl. The channels were inactivated by 15 microM 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS) and blocked with low affinity (KD of 1-100 microM) by anthracene-9-carboxylic acid, ethacrynic acid, frusemide (furosemide), HEPES, the indanyloxyacetic acid derivative IAA-94, 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)-benzoate (NPPB), and Zn2+. Unlike protein translocation pores, the channels were unaffected by high salt concentrations or puromycin. They may regulate ER Ca2+ release, or be channel components en route to their final cellular destinations. Alternatively, they may contribute to the fusion machinery involved in intracellular membrane trafficking.

Abstract
The nuclear envelope possesses specific ion channels that regulate the ionic traffic between the cytoplasm or the perinuclear space and the nucleoplasm. Using the patch-clamp technique to isolated rat nuclei exhibiting only the inner membrane of the nuclear envelope, we report the existence of calcium and zinc permeant channels. These channels displayed similar characteristics (conductance : 8 and 11 pS respectively, open time constant (3.5 ms and 3.7 ms) and close time constant (5.1 ms and 4.8 ms)) and were insensitive to different types of calcium channels blockers and to calcium concentration in the bathing solution. The exact role of these channels remains to define, but they may contribute to the regulation of intranuclear Ca++ or Zn++ dependent processes as important as cell proliferation or programmed cell death. Moreover, this work demonstrates that our nuclei preparation provides a way to study the inner membrane of the nuclear envelope.

Abstract
Ion channels are known to be present on the plasma membrane of virtually all cells and have been found on the membranes of various intracellular organelles. However, until recently they were believed not to occur at the nuclear membrane. In this study we describe the molecular cloning and characterization of a nuclear ion channel protein, designated nuclear chloride channel-27 (NCC27), from the human myelomonocytic cell line, U937. NCC27 is a novel chloride ion channel protein that was found to localize principally to the cell nucleus. Its only known homologue is a bovine chloride ion channel protein (p64) believed to localize to internal organelles. NCC27 therefore represents the first human member of a new class of organellar chloride ion channel proteins.

Abstract
Chloride channels in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) are thought to play an essential role in excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling by balancing charge movement during calcium release and uptake. In this study the nucleotide-sensitivity of Cl- channels in the SR from rabbit skeletal muscle was investigated using the lipid bilayer technique. Two distinct ATP-sensitive Cl- channels that differ in their conductance and kinetic properties and in the mechanism of ATP-induced channel inhibition were observed. The first, a nonfrequent 150 pS channel was inhibited by trans (luminal) ATP, and the second, a common 75 pS small chloride (SCl) channel was inhibited by cis (cytoplasmic) ATP. In the case of the SCl channel the ATP-induced reversible decline in the values of current (maximal current amplitude, Imax and integral current, I') and kinetic parameters (frequency of opening FO, probability of the channel being open PO, mean open TO and closed Tc times) show a nonspecific block of the voltage- and Ca2+-dependent SCl channel. ATP was a more potent blocker from the cytoplasmic side than from the luminal side of the channel. The SCl channel block was not due to Ca2+ chelation by ATP, nor to phosphorylation of the channel protein. The inhibitory action of ATP was mimicked by the nonhydrolyzable analogue adenylylimidodiphosphate (AMP-PNP) in the absence of Mg2+. The inhibitory potency of the adenine nucleotides was charge dependent in the following order ATP4- > ADP3- > > > AMP2-. The data suggest that ATP-induced effects are mediated via an open channel block mechanism. Modulation of the SCl channel by [ATP]cis and [Ca2+]cis indicates that (i) this channel senses the bioenergetic state of the muscle fiber and (ii) it is linked to the ATP-dependent cycling of the Ca2+ between the SR and the sarcoplasm.
