Functions as antiport system and exchanges two chloride ions for 1 proton. Probably acts as an electrical shunt for an outwardly-directed proton pump that is linked to amino acid decarboxylation, as part of the extreme acid resistance (XAR) response.

Publication Abstract from PubMed The CLC family of Cl(-)-transporting proteins includes both Cl(-) channels and Cl(-)/H(+) exchange transporters. CLC-ec1, a structurally known bacterial homolog of the transporter subclass, exchanges two Cl(-) ions per proton with strict, obligatory stoichiometry. Point mutations at two residues, Glu(148) and Tyr(445), are known to impair H(+) movement while preserving Cl(-) transport. In the x-ray crystal structure of CLC-ec1, these residues form putative "gates" flanking an ion-binding region. In mutants with both of the gate-forming side chains reduced in size, H(+) transport is abolished, and unitary Cl(-) transport rates are greatly increased, well above values expected for transporter mechanisms. Cl(-) transport rates increase as side-chain volume at these positions is decreased. The crystal structure of a doubly ungated mutant shows a narrow conduit traversing the entire protein transmembrane width. These characteristics suggest that Cl(-) flux through uncoupled, ungated CLC-ec1 occurs via a channel-like electrodiffusion mechanism rather than an alternating-exposure conformational cycle that has been rendered proton-independent by the gate mutations.
