The strength of interaction is qualitatively indicated by the number of + signs reflecting the number of clusters found per number of transfected dishes: CLC-2: 9/3; CLC-2E221V/H816A: 21/7; CLC-1: 28/8; CLC-0: 19/8; CLC-Ka: 13/13; CLC-Ka+Barttin: 9/13; Barttin-2A-CLC-K1: 9/4; CLC-5: 0/3. †the number of + signs qualitatively indicates that the slow gate is strongly activated in CLC-0 and CLC-2 but only slightly in CLC-1; ‡the number of + signs qualitatively indicates that the deactivation kinetics is strongly affected in CLC-2 and CLC-0 and less in CLC-Ka. n.a.: not applicable.
