The multiple transport modes of Slc26a6. All experiments are with oocytes expressing wild-type Slc26a6. (A) The simultaneous measurement of membrane potential (light gray trace), pHi (dark trace), and [Cl−]i (gray trace). (B) Measurement of the NO3− and SCN− currents in oocytes held at 0 mV, and typical I-Vs obtained with Cl−, NO3−, and SCN−. The I-Vs were obtained after a 5-min incubation with the respective anions to allow uptake of NO3− and SCN− to measure their inward current. (C and E) [Cl-]i and membrane potential measurements were used to monitor Cl−/formate− (C) and Cl−/oxalate= (E) exchange. (D) Cl− current in the presence and absence of 10 mM formate was measured at a holding membrane potential of −80 mV by altering bath Cl−. (F) The rates of Cl− transport in the presence of 1 mM oxalate= and 10 mM formate−. Results similar to those in A, B, and D were obtained in at least five experiments. Results in F are given as mean ± SEM of the number of experiments listed in the columns.
