Plant cell membrane anion channels participate in basic physiological
functions, such as cell volume regulation and signal transduction. However,
nothing is known about their molecular structure. Using a polymerase chain
reaction strategy, we have cloned a tobacco cDNA (CIC-Nt1) encoding a
780-amino acid protein with several putative transmembrane domains. CIC-Nt1
displays 24 to 32% amino acid identity with members of the animal
voltage-dependent chloride channel (CIC) family, whose archetype is CIC-0
from the Torpedo marmorata electric organ. Injection of CIC-Nt1
complementary RNA into Xenopus oocytes elicited slowly activating inward
currents upon membrane hyperpolarization more negative than -120 mV. These
currents were carried mainly by anions, modulated by extracellular anions,
and totally blocked by 10 mM extracellular calcium. The identification of
CIC-Nt1 extends the CIC family to higher plants and provides a molecular
probe for the study of voltage-dependent anion channels in plants.
