  Domain Name: EriC
ClC chloride channel EriC. This domain is found in the EriC chloride transporters that mediate the extreme acid resistance response in eubacteria and archaea. This response allows bacteria to survive in the acidic environments by decarboxylation-linked proton utilization. As shown for Escherichia coli EriC, these channels can counterbalance the electric current produced by the outwardly directed virtual proton pump linked to amino acid decarboxylation. The EriC proteins belong to the ClC superfamily of chloride ion channels, which share a unique double-barreled architecture and voltage-dependent gating mechanism. The voltage-dependent gating is conferred by the permeating anion itself, acting as the gating charge. In Escherichia coli EriC, a glutamate residue that protrudes into the pore is thought to participate in gating by binding to a Cl- ion site within the selectivity filter.
No pairwise interactions are available for this conserved domain.

Tips:
 If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position.

 The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs.

 Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below.
