Electrically silent cotransport of Na+, K+ and Cl− in ehrlich cells

A cotransport system for Na⁺, K⁺ and Cl^? in Ehrlich cells is described. It is insensitive towards ouabain but specifically inhibited by furosemide and other ‘high ceiling’ diuretics at concentrations which do not affect other pathways of the ions concerned. As the furosemide-sensitive fluxes of these ions are not affected by changes in membrane potential, and as their complete inhibition by furosemide does not appreciably alter the membrane potential, they appear to be electrically silent. Application of the pulse-response methods in terms of irreversible thermodynamics reveals tight coupling between the furosemide-sensitive flows of Na⁺, K⁺ and Cl^? ($\text{q}$ close to unity for all three combinations) at a stoichiometry of 1 : 1 : 2. The site for each of the ions appears to be rather specific: K⁺ can be replaced by Rb⁺ but not by other cations tested whereas Cl^? can be poorly replaced by Br^? but not by NO₃^?, in contradistinction to the Cl^?-OH^? exchange system. The cotransport system appears to function in cell volume regulation as it tends to make the cell swell, thus counteracting the shrinking effect of the ouabain-sensitive (Na⁺, K⁺) pump.The experiments presented could not clarify whether the cotransport process is a primary or secondary active one; while incongruence between transport and conjugated driving force seems to indicate primary active transport, it is very unlikely that hydrolysis of ATP supplies energy for the transport process, since there is no stimulation of ATP turnover observable under operation of the cotransport system.     

Ca2+-dependent inhibitory effects of Na+ and K− on Ca2+ transport in sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles

Effects of Na⁺ and K⁺ on Ca²⁺ transport by sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles were studied in a medium containing high Mg²⁺ and ATP (2mM) and low Ca²⁺ (0.44μM) concentrations. Under these conditions, Na⁺ and K⁺ inhibit Ca²⁺ uptake. ATPase activity and membrane phosphorylation by ATP. Since the concentrations of ATP and Ca²⁺ used are consistent with relaxation in vivo, the results suggest that under physiological resting conditions the Ca²⁺ pump of the sarcoplasmic reticulum operates below its maximal capacity.     

Energetics of coupled Na+ and Cl− entry into epithelial cells of bullfrog small intestine

Na⁺, K⁺ and Cl^? concentrations ($\text{c}{}_{\mathrm{j}}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>i</mtext>}}$) and activities ($\text{a}{}_{\mathrm{j}}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>i</mtext>}}$), and mucosal membrane potentials ($\text{E}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>m</mtext>}}$) were measured in epithelial cells of isolated bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) small intestine. Segments of intestine were stripped of their external muscle layers, and bathed (at 25°C and pH 7.2) in oxygenated Ringer solutions containing 105 mM Na⁺ and Cl^? and 5.4 mM K⁺. Na⁺ and K⁺ concentrations were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry and Cl^? concentrations by conductometric titration following extraction of the dried tissue with 0.1 M HNO₃. ¹⁴C-labelled inulin was used to determine extracellular volume. $\text{E}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>m</mtext>}}$ was measured with conventional open tip microelectrodes, $\text{a}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>Cl</mtext>}}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>i</mtext>}}$ with solid-state Cl^?-selective silver microelectrodes and $\text{a}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>Na</mtext>}}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>i</mtext>}}$ and $\text{a}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>K</mtext>}}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>i</mtext>}}$ with Na⁺- and K⁺-selective liquid ion-exchanger microelectrodes. The average $\text{E}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>m</mtext>}}$ recorded was ?34 mV. $\text{c}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>Na</mtext>}}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>i</mtext>}}$, $\text{c}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>K</mtext>}}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>i</mtext>}}$ and $\text{c}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>Cl</mtext>}}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>i</mtext>}}$ were 51, 105 and 52 mM. The corresponding values for $\text{a}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>Na</mtext>}}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>i</mtext>}}$, $\text{a}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>K</mtext>}}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>i</mtext>}}$ and $\text{a}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>Cl</mtext>}}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>i</mtext>}}$ were 18, 80 and 33 mM. These results suggest that a large fraction of the cytoplasmic Na⁺ is ‘bound’ or sequestered in an osmotically inactive form, that all, or virtually all the cytoplasmic K⁺ behaves as if in free solution, and that there is probably some binding of cytoplasmic Cl^?. $\text{a}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>Cl</mtext>}}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>i</mtext>}}$ significantly exceeds the level corresponding to electrochemical equilibrium across the mucosal and baso-lateral cell membranes. Earlier studies showed that coupled mucosal entry of Na⁺ and Cl^? is implicated in intracellular Cl^? accumulation in this tissue. This study permitted estimation of the steady-state transapical Na⁺ and Cl^? electrochemical potential differences (Δμ&#x0304;Na and Δμ&#x0304;Cl). Δμ&#x0304;Na (?7000 J · mol^?1; cell minus mucosal medium) was energetically more than sufficient to account for Δμ&#x0304;Cl (1000–2000 J · mol^?1).     

Calculations of K+, Na+, and Cl? fluxes across cell membrane with Na+/K+ pump, NKCC, NC cotransport and ionic channels with non-Goldman rectification in K+-channels: Normal and apoptotic cells

The balance of K⁺, Na⁺, and Cl⁻ fluxes across the cell membrane with the Na⁺/K⁺ pump, ion channels, and Na⁺K⁺2Cl⁻ (NKCC) and Na⁺-Cl⁻ (NC) cotransport was calculated to determine the mechanism of cell shrinkage in apoptosis. It is shown that all unidirectional K⁺, Na⁺, and Cl⁻ fluxes; the ion channel permeability; and the membrane potential can be found using the principle of the flux balance if the following experimental data are known: K⁺, Na⁺, and Cl⁻ concentrations in cell water; total Cl⁻ flux; total K⁺ influx; and the ouabain-inhibited pump component of the Rb⁺(K⁺) influx. The change in different ionic pathways during apoptosis was estimated by calculations based on the data reported in the preceded paper (Yurinskaya et al., 2010). It is found that cell shrinkage and the shift in ion balance in U937 cells induced to apoptosis with 1 μM staurosporine occur due to the coupling of reduced pump activity with a decrease in the integral permeability of Na⁺ channels, whereas K⁺ and Cl⁻ channel permeability remains almost unchanged. Calculations show that only a small part of the total fluxes of K⁺, Na⁺, and Cl⁻ account for the fluxes mediated by NKCC and NC cotransporters. Despite the importance of cotransport fluxes for maintaining the nonequilibrium steady-state distribution of Cl⁻, they cannot play a significant role in apoptotic cell shrinkage because of their minority and cannot be revealed by inhibitors.

Activation of phosphates to substitution(II). A comparison of catalyses initiated directly by VO2+ and by oxidation of VO2+ by MnO4−

Vanadium(V)-induced hydrolyses of triphosphates in aqueous solutions were initiated in two ways: (1) oxidizing vanadium(IV)-polyphosphate complexes to produce metastable vanadium(V) complexes; (2) forming VO₂⁺-polyphosphate complexes by acidification of solutions of VO₄^3? and polyphosphate to yield equilibrium mixtures of V(V), polyphosphate, and their complexes. Hydrolysis rates for the complexes formed at 40°C ? T ? 25°C follow the order V₂PPP_i = 2(VPPP_i) ≌ (VO₂) ATP ? V(PPP_i)₂ ≌ PPP_i. The hydrolysis of (V(V))₂(PPP_i) was not very temperature sensitive; the activation enthalpy appears small and the activation entropy large and negative. Mechanistic studies reveal that requirements for the activated state in metal-ion-catalyzed hydrolysis of polyphosphates include monodentate polyphosphate ligated cis to H₂O or OH^? in the coordination sphere of the metal ion:

粘盖牛肝菌不同菌株对Zn2+、Cd2+的吸附及其对油松Zn2+、Cd2+的耐受性

为了探讨同一菌根真菌不同菌株对重金属的耐受性,选用采集于内蒙古阴山山脉不同地区的粘盖牛肝菌(Suillus bovinus)的不同菌株进行研究。首先,在不同浓度Zn^2 、Cd^2 液体培养基中培养菌丝体,以了解各菌株菌丝体对重金属的耐受性及吸附能力,采用烘干法和原予吸收法分别测定菌丝体的生物量和菌丝体、培养液中Zn^2 、Cd^2 含量,结果表明：劈柴沟粘盖牛肝菌在Zn^2 、Cd^2 胁迫条件下,生物量、吸附能力约为其余各菌株的1．5～2倍。其次,为了探明油松(Pinus tabulaeformis)形成菌根后对Zn^2 、Cd^2 胁迫的耐受性及其耐受机理,采用一次性定量浇灌不同浓度Zn^2 、Cd^2 溶液的方法,测定了菌根化油松苗地上、地下生物量及Zn^2 、Cd^2 含量的分配,结果表明：菌根形成后能显著促进油松的生长及对Zn^2 、Cd^2 胁迫的耐受性,并且菌根能够帮助油松吸收基质中大量的Zn^2 、Cd^2 ,根中重金属的含量是茎叶中的2～3倍以上,非菌根苗在重金属浓度稍高(Zn^2 400mg／kg;Cd^2 40mg／kg)时就会死亡。经方差分析及多重比较证实,劈柴沟粘盖牛肝菌对Zn^2 、Cd^2 的耐受性及对油松的促生效果与其它各菌株存在显著的差异,这可能是它通过把吸收的Zn^2 、Cd^2 最大限度地输送到根中的同时,也输送到了茎叶中,使重金属在体内得到一定程度的稀释,使自身免受毒害。

短期NaCl胁迫对不同小麦品种幼苗K+吸收和Na+、K+积累的影响

为研究盐胁迫下小麦幼苗生长及Na⁺、K⁺的吸收和积累规律,以中国春、洲元9369和长武134等3种耐盐性不同小麦品种为材料,采用非损伤微测技术检测盐胁迫2 d后的根系K⁺离子流变化,并对植株体内的Na⁺、K⁺含量进行测定。结果表明:短期(2d)盐胁迫对小麦生长有抑制作用,且对根系的抑制大于地上部,耐盐品种下降幅度小于盐敏感品种。盐胁迫下,小麦根际的 K⁺大量外流,盐敏感品种中国春K⁺流速显著高于耐盐品种长武134,最高可达15倍。小麦幼苗地上部分和根系均表现为Na⁺积累增加,K⁺积累减少,Na⁺/K⁺比随盐浓度增加而上升。中国春限Na⁺能力显著低于长武134,Na⁺/K⁺则显著高于长武134。综上所述,盐胁迫下造成小麦组织器官中Na⁺/K⁺比上升的主要原因是根系K⁺大量外流和Na⁺的过量积累,耐盐性不同的小麦品种间差异显著,并认为根系对K⁺的保有能力可能是作物耐盐性评价的一个重要指标。
