== Function ==
[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/GLIC_GLOVI GLIC_GLOVI]] Cationic channel with similar permeabilities for Na(+) and K(+), that is activated by an increase of the proton concentration on the extracellular side. Displays no permeability for chloride ions. Shows slow kinetics of activation, no desensitization and a single channel conductance of 8 pS. Might contribute to adaptation to external pH change.<ref>PMID:17167423</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels mediate signal transduction through conformational transitions between closed-pore and open-pore states. To stabilize a closed conformation of GLIC, a bacterial proton-gated homolog from Gloeobacter violaceus whose open structure is known, we separately generated either four cross-links or two single mutations. We found all six mutants to be in the same 'locally closed' conformation using X-ray crystallography, sharing most of the features of the open form but showing a locally closed pore as a result of a concerted bending of all of its M2 helices. The mutants adopt several variant conformations of the M2-M3 loop, and in all cases an interacting lipid that is observed in the open form disappears. A single cross-linked mutant is functional, according to electrophysiology, and the locally closed structure of this mutant indicates that it has an increased flexibility. Further cross-linking, accessibility and molecular dynamics data suggest that the locally closed form is a functionally relevant conformation that occurs during allosteric gating transitions.
