Evidence that aspartate-65 is an electrostatic cation interaction site. (A) Effect of D65N on permeability to Ca2+, as measured by radiotracer flux assay. (B) Effect of acidification to pH 4.0 on PNa of WT and mutant claudin-2. (C and D) Absolute and relative permeabilities to alkali metal cations of WT and mutant claudin-2 (see B for explanation of symbols). (E) Relative permeability to Li+ (PLi/PNa) of WT or D65N claudin-2 at pH 7.0 or 4. *, P < 0.01; **, P < 0.001 compared with WT at pH 7.0 (n = 6–9).
