Membrane vesicles were prepared from Artemia nauplii (San Francisco Bay variety) 45 h after hydration of the dry cysts. Na+-loaded vesicles accumulated up to 10 nmol Ca2+/mg protein when diluted 50-fold into 160 mM KCl containing 15 microM CaCl2. Practically no accumulation of Ca2+ was observed if the vesicles were diluted into 160 mM NaCl instead of KCl, or if they were treated with monensin, a Na+ ionophore, for 30 s prior to addition of CaCl2 to the KCl medium. These observations indicate that the Artemia vesicles exhibit Na-Ca exchange activity. The velocity of Ca2+ accumulation by the vesicles in KCl was stimulated 2.6-fold by the K+ ionophore valinomycin, suggesting that the exchange system is electrogenic, with a stoichiometry greater than 2Na+ per Ca2+. Km,Ca and Vmax values were 15 microM and 7.5 nmol/mg protein.s, respectively. Exchange activity in the Artemia vesicles was inhibited by benzamil (IC50 approximately equal to 100 microM) and by quinacrine (IC50 approximately equal to 250 microM), agents that also inhibit exchange activity in cardiac sarcolemmal vesicles. Unlike cardiac vesicles, however, exchange activity in Artemia was not stimulated by limited proteolysis, redox reagents, or intravesicular Ca2+. This indicates that the two exchange systems are regulated by different mechanisms. Vesicles were prepared from Artemia at various times after hydration of the dry cysts and examined for exchange activity. Activity was first observed at approximately 10 h after hydration and increased to a maximal value by 30-40 h; hatching of the free swimming nauplii occurred at 18-24 h. The results suggest that hatching Artemia nauplii might be a particularly rich source of mRNA coding for the Na+-Ca2+ exchange carrier.  相似文献

In our routine screening of chemicals that would inhibit cardiac sarcolemmal Na+/H+ antiporter, we discovered that some of the opioids produced inhibition of cardiac sarcolemmal Na+/H+ antiporter in micromolar concentrations. Using U-50,488H, a selective kappa-opioid agonist, we characterized the nature of interaction between opioids and the Na+/H+ antiporter. The inhibitory effect of U-50,488H on Na+/H+ antiporter was immediate and reversible, and was not mediated through the interaction with the opioid receptors but due to the direct interaction of U-50,488H with the Na+/H+ antiporter. The kinetic data show that in the presence of U-50,488H the Km for Na+ was increased from 2.5 +/- 0.2 to 5.0 +/- 0.3 mM, while the Vmax (52.0 +/- 5.0 nmol.mg-1.min-1) remained the same. These results suggest that U-50,488H and Na+ compete for the same site on the antiporter. When testing the effect of U-50,488H on other transport systems of cardiac sarcolemma, we found that U-50,488H also inhibited Na+/Ca2+ antiporter and Na+/K+ pump but at much higher concentrations suggesting that U-50,488H shows some degree of selectivity for cardiac sarcolemmal Na+/H+ antiporter. When we compared the inhibitory potency of U-50,488H with amiloride and its analog, namely 5-(N,N-hexamethylene)amiloride, we found that U-50,488H (IC50 = 100 +/- 15 microM) was threefold more potent than amiloride (IC50 = 300 +/- 20 microM) but it was three-fold less potent than the amiloride analog (IC50 = 30 +/- 10 microM) in inhibiting cardiac sarcolemmal Na+/H+ antiporter. These results show that although U-50,488H is more potent than amiloride, the inhibitory characteristics of U-50,488H on cardiac sarcolemmal Na+/H+ antiporter are similar to amiloride.  相似文献

Amiloride analogs with hydrophobic substitutions on the 5-amino nitrogen atom are relatively high affinity inhibitors of the plasma membrane Na(+)-H+ exchanger. We demonstrated that a high affinity-binding site for [3H]5-(N-methyl-N-isobutyl)amiloride ([3H]MIA) (Kd = 6.3 nM, Bmax = 1.2 pmol/mg of protein) is present in microvillus membrane vesicles but not in basolateral membrane vesicles isolated from rabbit renal cortex, in accord with the known membrane localization of the Na(+)-H+ exchanger in this tissue. The rank order potency for inhibition of microvillus membrane [3H]MIA binding by amiloride analogs was: MIA (I50 approximately 10 nM) greater than amiloride (I50 approximately 200 nM) greater than benzamil (I50 approximately 1200 nM). This correlated with a qualitatively similar rank order potency for inhibition of Na(+)-H+ exchange: MIA (I50 approximately 4 microM) greater than amiloride (I50 approximately 15 microM) greater than benzamil (I50 approximately 100 microM), but did not correlate with the rank order potency for inhibition of the organic cation-H+ exchanger in microvillus membrane vesicles: MIA approximately benzamil (I50 approximately 0.5 microM) greater than amiloride (I50 approximately 10 microM). However, tetraphenylammonium, an inhibitor of organic cation-H+ exchange, inhibited the rate of [3H]MIA binding without an effect on equilibrium [3H]MIA binding; the dissociation of bound [3H]MIA was inhibited by preloading the membrane vesicles with tetraphenylammonium. These findings indicated that high affinity [3H]MIA binding to renal microvillus membrane vesicles takes place at an internal site to which access is rate-limited by the tetraphenylammonium-sensitive organic cation transporter. Equilibrium [3H]MIA binding was inhibited by H+ but was unaffected by concentrations of Na+ or Li+ that saturate the external transport site of the Na(+)-H+ exchanger. Binding of MIA to its high affinity binding site had no effect on the rate of Na(+)-H+ exchange. This study suggests that the renal Na(+)-H+ exchanger has a high affinity internal binding site for amiloride analogs that is distinct from the external amiloride inhibitory site.  相似文献

Effects of the arginyl- and lysyl-specific reagent phenylglyoxal (PGO) on the epithelial Na+ channel were evaluated by measuring the amiloride-blockable 22Na+ fluxes in membrane vesicles derived from the toad bladder epithelium. Incubating whole cells or isolated membranes with PGO readily and irreversibly blocked the channel-mediated tracer flux. Na+ ions present during the interaction of membranes with PGO could protect channels from inactivation by PGO. This effect required the presence of Na+ at the luminal side of the membrane and was characterized by an IC50 of 79 mM Na+. Amiloride, too, could desensitize channels to PGO, but its effect was significant only when whole cells were interacted with the protein-modifying reagent. The data are compatible with a model in which the conductive path of the channel contains a functional arginine, possibly forming a salt bridge with a carboxylic group, which is involved in Na+ translocation and amiloride binding. It was also shown that the augmentation of transport induced by incubating whole cells in Ca2+-free solution (Garty, H., and Asher, C. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 8330-8335) involves the activation or recruitment of channels that are not vulnerable to PGO prior to incubation.  相似文献

Most of the electrical potential-driven 22Na+ uptake in toad bladder membrane vesicles can be blocked by the diuretic amiloride. Analysis of the amiloride inhibition curve indicates the presence of two pathways with low and high affinities to the diuretic (Garty, H. (1984) J. Membr. Biol. 82, 269-279). The selectivity of these pathways to amiloride was explored by comparing the inhibition curve of this diuretic with those of 10 of its structural analogues. The relative potencies of various amiloride-like compounds as blockers of the flux component with high affinity to amiloride were in good agreement with the structure-activity relationships elucidated from transepithelial short-circuit current measurements. Thus, this pathway is most probably the apical Na+-specific channel. The other pathway with lower affinity to the diuretic was relatively insensitive to modifications of the amiloride molecule, and the structure-activity relationships measured for the inhibition of this pathway were different from those reported for any other amiloride-blockable process. Other experiments have established that the Na+ flux with low affinity to amiloride is electrogenic and is not mediated by a Na+/H+ or Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, Na+-hexose cotransporter, or the Na+/K+-ATPase. The data indicate that tracer flux measurements in toad bladder membrane vesicles monitor, in addition to the well-characterized apical Na+ channels, another amiloride-blockable electrogenic Na+ transporter. This pathway could be responsible for the basolateral amiloride-blockable Na+ conductance recently observed in nystatin-treated bladders (Garty, H., Warncke, J., and Lindemann, B. (1987) J. Membr. Biol. 95, 91-103).  相似文献

A possible modulation of ion permeabilities of rat intestinal brush-border membrane vesicles by Ca2+, a putative second messenger of salt secretion, was explored by three independent methods: (1) measurements of [3H]glucose accumulation driven by a Na+ gradient; (2) stopped-flow spectrophotometry of salt-induced osmotic swelling; (3) 86Rb+, 22Na+ and 36Cl- flux measurements. Cytoskeleton-deprived membrane vesicles were prepared from isolated brushborders by thiocyanate treatment. Intravescicular Ca2+ levels were varied by preincubating vesicles in Ca-EGTA buffers in the presence of the Ca2+-ionophore A23187. At Ca2+free greater than 10(-5) M, initial Na+-dependent glucose uptake in the presence of a 0.1 M NaSCN gradient (but not in its absence) was inhibited by about 50 per cent as compared to EGTA alone (ED50 approximately equal to 10(-6) M Ca2+). By contrast, initial rates of 22Na+ uptake and reswelling rates of vesicles exposed to a NaSCN gradient were increased at least 2-fold by 10(-5) M Ca2+free. Both observations are compatible with a Ca2+-induced increase of the Na+-permeability of the vesicle membrane. The modulation of ion transport was fully reversible and critically dependent on internal Ca2+, suggesting a localization of Ca2+-sensor sites at the inner surface of the microvillous membrane. As shown by radiotracer and osmotic swelling measurements, micromolar Ca2+ additionally increased the flux rate of K+, Rb+, Cl- and NO-3 but did not change the membrane permeability for small uncharged molecules, including glucose and mannitol. The effect of Ca2+ on ion permeabilities could be blocked by Ba2+ (10(-3) M) or Mg2+ (10(-2) M), but not by amiloride (10(-3) M), apamin (2 X 10(-7) M), trifluoperazine (10(-4) M) or quinine (5 X 10(-4) M). At present it is unclear whether Ca2+ activates a nonselective cation and anion channel or multiple highly selective channels in the vesicle membrane.  相似文献

The role of dibutyryl 3',5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (dibutyryl cAMP) as putative second messenger for parathyroid hormone (PTH) in regulating canine proximal tubular basolateral membrane Na+-Ca2+ exchange and passive calcium permeability was assessed, as was the nature of this passive calcium permeability. Dibutyryl cAMP (50 mg) infused in vivo over 30 min increased fractional phosphate excretion from 4.9 +/- 1.8% to 20.5 +/- 4.6%, P less than 0.05, n = 6, but had no effect on either passive Ca2+ efflux or sodium-stimulated Ca2+ efflux from Ca2+-preloaded basolateral membrane vesicles (BLMV). Both of these mechanisms have been previously shown to be stimulated by PTH. Further studies were performed to investigate the mechanism of the passive calcium flux. Calcium uptake by BLMV was blocked by lanthanum (La3+) but not by the calcium-channel blocker verapamil. La3+ blocked efflux of Ca2+ from preloaded vesicles when it was placed in the external solution. This La3+-blockable efflux was larger in potassium equivalent BLMV prepared from normal dogs than in BLMV prepared from thyroparathyroidectomized dogs. Benzamil produced 50% inhibition of sodium-stimulated Ca2+ uptake at 250 microM whereas neither amiloride nor diltiazem achieved 50% inhibition at the maximal doses studied. Benzamil, 1 mM, had no effect on passive calcium efflux and neither did the substitution of sucrose for potassium, which has been shown to affect Ca2+-Ca2+ exchange by the Na+-Ca2+ exchanger. This suggests that the calcium flux under potassium equivalent conditions was not mediated by Ca2+-Ca2+ exchange by the Na+-Ca2+ exchanger. These results demonstrate that the basolateral membrane of proximal tubular cells possesses both a Na+-Ca2+ exchanger inhibitable by benzamil and a passive calcium permeability not inhibited by benzamil nor by verapamil but by La3+. Neither of these two mechanisms of calcium flux was affected by dibutyryl cAMP whereas both have been shown to be stimulated by PTH.  相似文献

Amiloride-sensitive cationic channels are present in the apical membrane of porcine thyroid cells in primary culture. An amiloride-sensitive (K0.5 = 150 +/- 28 nM where K0.5 is the concentration of unlabelled ligand which reduces the specific binding of the same labelled ligand by 50%) 22Na+-flux component (Km for Na+ at 18 mM) has been identified which was also blocked by the potent amiloride derivative phenamil (K0.5 = 47 +/- 21 nM). The most potent inhibitor of Na+/H+ exchange, ethylisopropyl-amiloride, hardly inhibited this 22Na+-influx component at a concentration of 21 microM. Amiloride binding sites were characterized using [3H]phenamil. The tritiated ligand binds to a single family of binding sites in thyroid membranes with a Kd value of 50 +/- 10 nM and a maximal binding capacity of 5 +/- 1 pmol/mg protein. Patch-clamp experiments have directly demonstrated the existence of a phenamil- and amiloride-sensitive cationic channel, with a conductance of 2.6 pS, which is permeable to sodium, but not very selective (PNa+/PK+ = 1.2). This channel is an important element in the regulation of the resting membrane potential of thyroid cells.  相似文献

The Na+/K+-ATPase was localized using purified specific antibodies, on the basolateral membranes of rat thyroid epithelial cells and of cultured porcine thyroid cells, by immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscopy. No staining was observed on the apical membranes. When cultured cells formed monolayers, with their apical pole in contact with the culture medium, 22Na+ uptake was inhibited by amiloride. Inhibition was dependent upon extracellular Na+ concentration, half maximal inhibition was obtained with 0.7 microM amiloride in the presence of 5 mM Na+. Ouabain was ineffective on Na+ uptake into intact monolayers. A brief treatment of the monolayers with ethyleneglycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) opened the tight junctions and allowed the access of ouabain to the basal pole of the cells. In this condition ouabain increased Na+ uptake. When cells were reorganized into follicle-like structures, with their basal pole in contact with the culture medium, Na+ uptake was not modified by amiloride but was increased by ouabain. We conclude that in thyroid cells, the Na+/K+-ATPase is present on the basolateral domain of the plasma membrane whereas an amiloride sensitive sodium uptake occurs at the apical surface.  相似文献

The nature of Na+ fluxes in resting and in chemotactic factor-activated human neutrophils was investigated. In resting cells, ouabain-insensitive unidirectional 22Na+ in- and effluxes represented passive electrodiffusional fluxes through ion channels: they were nonsaturable and voltage-dependent (PNa = 4.3 X 10(-9) cm/s). Amiloride (1 mM) had little effect on resting 22Na+ influx (approximately 0.8 meq/liter X min), thereby suggesting a minor contribution of Na+/H+ exchange and a lack of amiloride-sensitive Na+ channels. When neutrophils were exposed to the chemotactic tripeptide N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP, 0.1 microM), 22Na+ influx was stimulated approximately 30-fold (initial rate approximately 22 meq/liter X min). The FMLP-induced 22Na+ influx was saturable with respect to external Na+ (Km 26-35 mM, Vmax approximately 28 meq/liter X min), was electroneutral, and could be competitively inhibited by amiloride (Ki 10.6 microM). From a resting value of approximately 30 meq/liter of cell water, internal Na+ in FMLP-stimulated cells rose exponentially to reach a concentration of approximately 60 meq/liter by 10-15 min. This uptake was blocked by amiloride. FMLP also stimulated the efflux of 22Na+ which followed a single exponential time course (rate coefficient approximately 0.16 min-1). The FMLP-induced 22Na+ fluxes were similar to those observed with 10 microM monensin, a known Na+/H+ exchanging ionophore. The data indicate that FMLP activates an otherwise quiescent, amiloride-sensitive Na+/H+ exchange. Furthermore, all of the FMLP-induced 22Na+ fluxes can be satisfactorily accounted for by transport through the exchanger, leaving little room for an appreciable increase in Na+ conductance.  相似文献

Under normal conditions (pH0 = 7.4, pHi = 7.1-7.2) amiloride, a Na+/H+ exchange inhibitor, does not influence Na+ intake by human and rat erythrocytes. Acidification of the cytoplasm (pHi approximately 6.4) is accompanied by the acceleration of 22Na intake, which is decreased after addition of 1 mM amiloride (by 50 and 80%, respectively). The Ki value of amiloride for human and rat erythrocytes is 30 and 250 microM, respectively. In rat erythrocytes the dependence of the rate of the delta pH-induced incorporation of 22Na on Na+ concentration is described by a saturation curve (K0.5 for Na0+ is approximately 40 mM), whereas in human erythrocytes it obeys the diffusion kinetics. These results suggest that the Na+/H+ exchange takes place in rat erythrocytes, but is absent in human erythrocytes. In rat erythrocytes the Na+/H+ exchange can be induced by cell compression which can be caused either by decreasing the KCl content (after addition of valinomycin) or by increasing the osmolarity of the medium (in the presence of sucrose). The rate of Na+/H+ exchange induced by cell compression is increased by 60-70% after addition of protein kinases A and C activators. No effect of intracellular Ca2+ on the rate of the Na+/H+ exchange in rat erythrocytes is observed.  相似文献

The effect of Ca2+, Cd2+, Ba2+, Mg2+ and pH on the renal epithelial Na(+)-channel was investigated by measuring the amiloride-sensitive 22Na+ fluxes into luminal membrane vesicles from pars recta of rabbit proximal tubule. It was found that intravesicular Ca2+ as well as extravesicular Ca2+ substantially lowered the channel-mediated flux. Amiloride sensitive Na+ uptake was nearly completely blocked by 10 microM Ca2+ at pH 7.4. The inhibitory effect of Ca2+ was dependent on pH. Thus, 10 microM Ca2+ produced 90% inhibition of 22Na+ uptake at pH 7.4, and only 40% inhibition at pH 7.0. The tracer fluxes measured in the absence of Ca2+ were pH independent over the range from 7.0 to 7.4. All the cations Ca2+, Cd2+, Ba2+ except Mg2+ inhibited the 22Na+ influx drastically when added extravesicularly in millimolar concentrations. The cations Cd2+, Ba2+ and Mg2+ in the same concentrations intravesicularly inhibited the 22Na+ influx only slightly. A millimolar concentration of Ca2+ intravesicularly blocked the amiloride-sensitive 22Na+ flux completely. The data indicate that Ca2+ inhibits Na+ influx specifically by binding to sites composed of one or several deprotonated groups on the channel proteins.  相似文献

Basal-lateral-plasma-membrane vesicles and brush-border-membrane vesicles were isolated from rat kidney cortex by differential centrifugation followed by free-flow-electrophoresis. Ca2+ uptake into these vesicles was investigated by a rapid filtration method. Both membranes show a considerable binding of Ca2+ to the vesicle interior, making the analysis of passive fluxes in uptake experiments difficult. Only the basal-lateral-plasma-membrane vesicles exhibit an ATP-dependent pump activity which can be distinguished from the activity in mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum by virtue of the different distribution during free-flow electrophoresis and its lack of sensitivity to oligomycin. The basal-lateral plasma membranes contain in addition a Na+/Ca2+-exchange system which mediates a probably rheogenic counter-transport of Ca2+ and Na+ across the basal cell border. The latter system is probably involved in the secondary active Na+-dependent and ouabain-inhibitable Ca2+ reabsorption in the proximal tubule, the ATP-driven system is probably more important for the maintenance of a low concentration of intracellular Ca2+.  相似文献

The Na+/H+ exchange system was studied in brush border membrane vesicles isolated from cortical and medullary regions of the proximal tubule of rabbit kidney. The activity of the exchanger was assessed by measuring hydrogen influx (monitored by acridine orange fluorescence), 22 Na influx and the sensitivity of these fluxes to amiloride and its analogue ethylisopropyl amiloride. In contrast to previously published data (indicating the absence of pH-gradient driven and amiloride sensitive 22Na-influx in medullary site vesicles (13, 15], Na+/H+ exchange activity could be detected in both membrane preparations by sodium tracer and fluorescence detection of hydrogen influx. Amiloride inhibition of 22Na influx was more effectively protected by increasing sodium concentration in cortical than in medullary vesicles, suggesting differences in the action of amiloride in these preparations.  相似文献

Angiotensin peptides (AI, AII, AIII) increased the rate of Na+ accumulation by smooth muscle cells (SMC) cultured from rat aorta. The stimulatory effect of AII on Na+ uptake was observed when Na+ exodus via the Na+/K+ pump was blocked either by ouabain or by the removal of extracellular K+. AII was at least ten times more potent than AIII and about 100 times more potent than AI in stimulating Na+ uptake. Saralasin had little effect on Na+ uptake by itself but almost completely blocked the increase caused by AII. The stimulation of net Na+ entry by AI, but not AII, was prevented by protease inhibitors. The stimulation of Na+ uptake was almost completely blocked by amiloride. Tetrodotoxin, which prevented veratridine from increasing Na+ uptake, had no effect on the response to AII. Angiotensin increased the rate of ouabain-sensitive 86Rb+ uptake (Na+/K+ pump activity) but had no effect on ouabain-sensitive ATPase activity in frozen-thawed SMC or in microsomal membranes isolated from cultured SMC. The stimulation of ouabain-sensitive 86Rb+ uptake by AII was blocked by saralasin. Omitting Na+ from the external medium prevented AII from increasing 86Rb+ uptake. AII had no effect on cell volume or cyclic AMP levels in the cultured SMC. These results suggest that angiotensin peptides activate an amiloride-sensitive Na+ transporter which supplies the Na+/K+ pump with more Na+, its rate-limiting substrate.  相似文献

Purified canine cardiac sarcolemmal membrane vesicles exhibit a sodium ion for proton exchange activity (Na+/H+ exchange). Na+/H+ exchange was demonstrated both by measuring rapid 22Na uptake into sarcolemmal vesicles in response to a transmembrane H+ gradient and by following H+ transport in response to a transmembrane Na+ gradient with use of the probe acridine orange. Maximal 22Na uptake into the sarcolemmal vesicles (with starting intravesicular pH = 6 and extravesicular pH = 8) was approximately 20 nmol/mg protein. The extravesicular Km of the Na+/H+ exchange activity for Na+ was determined to be between 2 and 4 mM (intravesicular pH = 5.9, extravesicular pH = 7.9), as assessed by measuring the concentration dependence of the 22Na uptake rate and the ability of extravesicular Na+ to collapse an imposed H+ gradient. All results suggested that Na+/H+ exchange was reversible and tightly coupled. The Na+/H+ exchange activity was assayed in membrane subfractions and found most concentrated in highly purified cardiac sarcolemmal vesicles and was absent from free and junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles. 22Na uptake into sarcolemmal vesicles mediated by Na+/H+ exchange was dependent on extravesicular pH, having an optimum around pH 9 (initial internal pH = 6). Although the Na+/H+ exchange activity was not inhibited by tetrodotoxin or digitoxin, it was inhibited by quinidine, quinacrine, amiloride, and several amiloride derivatives. The relative potencies of the various inhibitors tested were found to be: quinacrine greater than quinidine = ethylisopropylamiloride greater than methylisopropylamiloride greater than dimethylamiloride greater than amiloride. The Na+/H+ exchange activity identified in purified cardiac sarcolemmal vesicles appears to be qualitatively similar to Na+/H+ exchange activities recently described in intact cell systems. Isolated cardiac sarcolemmal vesicles should prove a useful model system for the study of Na+/H+ exchange regulation in myocardial tissue.  相似文献

Characteristics of 22Na+ fluxes through Na+ channels in luminal-membrane vesicles isolated from either pars recta or pars convoluta of rabbit proximal tubule were studied. In NaCl-loaded vesicles from pars recta, transient accumulation of 22Na+ is observed, which is inhibited by amiloride. The isotope accumulation is driven by an electrical diffusion potential as shown in experiments using either these membrane vesicles loaded with different anions, or an outwardly directed K+ gradient with a K+ ionophore valinomycin. The vesicles containing the channel show a cation selectivity with the order Li+ greater than Na+ greater than K+. The amiloride-sensitive 22Na+ flux is dependent on intravesicular Ca2+. In NaCl-loaded vesicles from pars convoluta, no overshoot for 22Na+ uptake is observed. Furthermore, addition of amiloride to the incubation medium did not influence the uptake of 22Na+ in these vesicle preparations. It is concluded that Na+ channels are only present in pars recta of rabbit proximal tubule.  相似文献

The interaction of amiloride and several amiloride derivatives with the Na+/H+ exchange system in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells and in rabbit renal microvillus membrane vesicles was studied from 22Na+ uptake experiments. On both types of preparation, the order of potency of the different molecules tested is: ethylisopropylamiloride greater than ethylpropylamiloride (EPA) greater than amiloride greater than benzamil. 3H-labelled EPA was prepared and used to titrate amiloride binding sites in solubilized microvillus membranes. Kinetics experiments, equilibrium binding studies and competition experiments between [3H]EPA and unlabelled EPA indicate that EPA recognizes a single family of binding sites with a Kd value of 45 nM and a maximum binding capacity of 2 pmol/mg of protein. The order of potency of different amiloride analogs tested in [3H]EPA competition experiments is identical to that found for the inhibition of 22Na+ uptake by the Na+/H+ exchange system, suggesting that [3H]EPA binding sites are associated with the Na+/H+ exchange system. [3H]EPA binding sites are pharmacologically distinct from those of [3H]benzamil and [3H]bumetanide in kidney membranes.  相似文献

The effects of bacitracin were investigated on [3H]nitrendipine binding to rat brain and cardiac membranes in a low ionic strength (5 mM Tris-HCl) buffer. Bacitracin inhibited [3H]nitrendipine binding to rat brain and cardiac membranes with IC50 values of 400 +/- 100 and 4600 +/- 400 micrograms/mL, respectively. Scatchard analysis in brain membranes revealed that bacitracin inhibited [3H]nitrendipine binding primarily by reducing the Bmax but also by producing a small increase in the Kd. In brain membranes, Na+ (100 mM) and Ca2+ (2 mM) reduced the potency of bacitracin to inhibit [3H]nitrendipine binding by approximately sixfold with IC50 values of 2600 +/- 300 and 2100 +/- 400 micrograms/mL observed for bacitracin in the presence of 100 mM Na+ and 2 mM Ca2+, respectively. The EC50 values for the effects of Na+ and Ca2+ were 800 +/- 200 microM and 25 +/- 5 mM. K+, Mg2+, choline, and increasing the assay buffer of Tris-HCl to 50 mM also decreased the inhibition of [3H]nitrendipine binding by bacitracin. These results suggest that bacitracin specifically modulates [3H]nitrendipine binding in a cation-dependent manner and that brain and cardiac dihydropyridine binding sites are either biochemically different or exist in a different membrane environment.  相似文献

Apical plasma membrane vesicles were prepared from human organ donor colon mucosal scrapings. These vesicles were enriched 10-fold in cysteine-sensitive alkaline phosphatase activity compared to starting homogenates, and showed minimal contamination of microsomal, mitochondrial or basolateral membranes. Transport studies using [22Na] uptake into proximal colonic vesicles demonstrated Na+ and H+ conductances, Na+/H+ exchange and amiloride inhibition of Na+ uptake. The isolation of these apical vesicles will permit detailed study of human colonic transport processes.  相似文献
