Macroscopic and Microscopic Properties of a Cloned Glutamate
Transporter/Chloride Channel

The behavior of a Cl channel associated with a
glutamate transporter was studied using intracellular and patch
recording techniques in Xenopus oocytes injected with
human EAAT1 cRNA. Channels could be activated by application of
glutamate to either face of excised membrane patches. The channel
exhibited strong selectivity for amphipathic anions and had a minimum
pore diameter of ~5Å. Glutamate flux exhibited a much greater
temperature dependence than Cl flux. Stationary
and nonstationary noise analysis was consistent with a sub-femtosiemen
Cl conductance and a maximum channel
Po 1. The glutamate binding rate was
similar to estimates for receptor binding. After glutamate binding,
channels activated rapidly followed by a relaxation phase. Differences
in the macroscopic kinetics of channels activated by concentration
jumps of L-glutamate or D-aspartate were
correlated with differences in uptake kinetics, indicating a close
correspondence of channel gating to state transitions in the
transporter cycle.
