Fig. 2. Role of backbone amides in anion selectivity of CLC-0 and bCLC-k.

Fig. 2

A Schematic representation of peptide (top panel) and ester bonds (bottom panel). (B, C) Effect of replacing backbone amides with ester oxygens at positions lining Sext and Scen in bCLC-k (B) and CLC-0 (C) on PBr (black bars), PNO3 (red bars) and PI (green bars). Nomenclature of α-hydroxy acid substitutions is explained in Methods. Data are Mean ± St.Dev. of n > 4 repeats from N ≥ 3 independent oocyte batches, individual data points are shown as cyan circles. The statistical significance of the effects of the mutants on the permeability ratios of each ion (indicated by *) was evaluated with a one-sided Student’s t-test with a Bonferroni correction (see “Methods”). Mean values and p values are reported in Supplementary Table 1. Individual data points are shown grouped by ion in Supplementary Fig. 5. Raw data for B, C  is included in the Source Data Files.
