Passive movements of Li in dog red blood cells (RBC) ar like those of Na and protons in being stimulated by osmotic cell shrinkage and inhibited by amiloride. Li and protons have similar asymmetrical effects on Na-H exchange. When the intracellular fluid is made rich in Li or protons, Na-H exchange is stimulated. When the extracellular fluid is enriched in Li or protons, Na-H exchange is inhibited. In the case of protons, these effects can override alterations in driving force that are created by the experimental conditions. For example, acidification of the cytoplasm stimulates outward Na movements, while acidification of the medium inhibits Na efflux. Thus, protons (and, by analogy, Li) can interact with the Na-H exchanger not only as substrates but also as modulators. In previous experiments, the only way to activate the Na-H exchanger in dog RBC was to shrink the cells in hypertonic media. The influences of Li or protons, however, are so strong as to preempt the volume effects, so that the pathway can be activated even in swollen cells and deactivated in shrunken ones. 相似文献

Proton entry into anaerobic Escherichia coli in response to the addition of HCl was measured by monitoring pH changes in the external solution. Preincubation of cells in a Na+ -free medium containing melibiose or methyl-alpha-galactoside (alpha MG) stimulated the rate of H+ entry in response to the acid pulse. This melibiose- or alpha MG-dependent proton pathway appeared to be identical to the melibiose carrier, since the channel was only observed in melibiose-induced cells. Furthermore, this membrane pathway for protons showed the same temperature sensitivity as the melibiose carrier (active at 30 degrees but inactive at 37 degrees). These observations are consistent with the idea that the melibiose transport system provides a pathway for protons in the presence of appropriate substrates, but that the pathway is closed to protons in the absence of the sugar. Such observations indicate that there is an obligatory coupling between H+ flux and melibiose or alpha MG flux through the carrier when Na+ is omitted from the incubation medium. 相似文献

We had previously proposed that organic cations are transported across the brush-border membrane in the canine kidney by a H+ exchange (or antiport) system (Holohan, P.D. and Ross, C.R. (1981) J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 216, 294-298). In the present report, we demonstrate that in brush-border membrane vesicles the transport of organic cations is chemically coupled to the countertransport of protons, by showing that the uphill or concentrative transport of a prototypic organic cation, N1-methylnicotinamide (NMN), is chemically coupled to the flow of protons down their chemical gradient. In a reciprocal manner, the concentrative transport of protons is coupled to the counterflow of organic cations down their concentration gradient. The transport of organic cations is monitored by measuring [3H]NMN while the transport of protons is monitored by measuring changes in acridine orange absorbance. The functional significance of the coupling is that a proton gradient lowers the Km and increases the Vmax for NMN transport. 相似文献

Using 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate (DIDS) and tributyltin the sodium transport pathway activated by shrinkage in dog red blood cells is shown to behave as expected for an electroneutral Na+/H+ exchanger. When the driving forces for sodium and protons are equal, flow through the pathway stops. Amiloride inhibits the shrinkage-induced Na+/H+ exchange. 相似文献

The nature of the ions that are translocated by Escherichia coli and Paracoccus denitrificans complexes I was investigated. We observed that E. coli complex I was capable of proton translocation in the same direction to the established deltapsi, showing that in the tested conditions, the coupling ion is the H(+). Furthermore, Na(+) transport to the opposite direction was also observed, and, although Na(+) was not necessary for the catalytic or proton transport activities, its presence increased the latter. We also observed H(+) translocation by P. denitrificans complex I, but in this case, H(+) transport was not influenced by Na(+) and also Na(+) transport was not observed. We concluded that E. coli complex I has two energy coupling sites (one Na(+) independent and the other Na(+) dependent), as previously observed for Rhodothermus marinus complex I, whereas the coupling mechanism of P. denitrificans enzyme is completely Na(+) independent. This work thus shows that complex I energy transduction by proton pumping and Na(+)/H(+) antiporting is not exclusive of the R. marinus enzyme. Nevertheless, the Na(+)/H(+) antiport activity seems not to be a general property of complex I, which may be correlated with the metabolic characteristics of the organisms. 相似文献

The viral ion channel protein M2 supports the transit of influenza virus and its glycoproteins through acidic compartments of the cell. M2 conducts endosomal protons into the virion to initiate uncoating and, by equilibrating the pH at trans-Golgi membranes, preserves the native conformation of acid-sensitive viral hemagglutinin. The exceptionally low conductance of the M2 channel thwarted resolution of single channels by electrophysiological techniques. Assays of liposome-reconstituted M2 yielded the average unitary channel current of the M2 tetramer--1.2 aA (1.2 x 10(-18) A) at neutral pH and 2.7 to 4.1 aA at pH 5.7--which activates the channel. Extrapolation to physiological temperature predicts 4.8 and 40 aA, respectively, and a unitary conductance of 0.03 versus 0.4 fS. This minute activity, below previous estimates, appears sufficient for virus reproduction, but low enough to avert abortive cytotoxicity. The unitary permeability of M2 was within the range reported for other proton channels. To address the ion selectivity of M2, we exploited the coupling of ionic influx and efflux in sealed liposomes. Metal ion fluxes were monitored by proton counterflow, employing a pH probe 1,000 times more sensitive than available Na+ or K+ probes. Even low-pH-activated M2 did not conduct Na+ and K+. The proton selectivity of M2 was estimated to be at least 3 x 10(6) (over sodium or potassium ions), in agreement with electrophysiological studies. The stringent proton selectivity of M2 suggests that the cytopathology of influenza virus does not involve direct perturbation of cellular sodium or potassium gradients. 相似文献

Cation movements in the high sodium erythrocyte of the cat 总被引:7,自引:5,他引:2
The uptake of 42K and 24Na by cat erythrocytes was investigated. Under steady-state conditions, the nontransient component of 42K influx was found to be 0.18 ± 0.01 meq/liter RBC/hr and insensitive to ouabain (100 µM); the corresponding value for 24Na was 17 ± meq/liter RBC/hr. A study was made of the effects of anions upon cation movements in these and other mammalian red cells. Iodide was found to inhibit markedly (>50%) Na inward movements in cat and dog but not in the other erythrocytes. An increase (15–30%) in K uptake in the presence of iodide was noted in all the mammalian cells studied. 相似文献

LmrP is a secondary active multidrug transporter from Lactococcus lactis. The protein belongs to the major facilitator superfamily and utilizes the electrochemical proton gradient (inside negative and alkaline) to extrude a wide range of lipophilic cations from the cell. Previous work has indicated that ethidium, a monovalent cationic substrate, is exported by LmrP by electrogenic antiport with two (or more) protons. This observation raised the question whether these protons are translocated sequentially along the same pathway, or through different routes. To address this question, we constructed a 3-D homology model of LmrP based on the high-resolution structure of the glycerol-3P/Pi antiporter GlpT from Escherichia coli, and we tested by mutagenesis the possible proton conduction points suggested by this model. Similar to the template, LmrP is predicted to contain an internal cavity formed at the interface between the two halves of the transporter. On the surface of this cavity lie two clusters of polar, aromatic and carboxylate residues with potentially important function in proton shuttling. Cluster 1 in the C-terminal half contains D235 and E327 in immediate proximity of each other, and is located near the apex of the cavity. Cluster 2 in the N-terminal half contains D142. Analyses of LmrP mutants containing charge-conservative or carboxyl-to-amide replacements at positions 142, 235 and 327 suggest that D142 is part of a dedicated proton translocation pathway in the ethidium translocation reaction. In contrast, D235 and E327 are part of an independent pathway, in which D235 interacts with protons. E327 appears to modulate the pKa of D235 and plays a role in the interaction with ethidium. These results are consistent with the proposal that major facilitator superfamily proteins consist of two membrane domains, one of which is involved in substrate binding and the other in ion coupling, and they indicate that there are two proton conduction pathways at play in the transport mechanism. 相似文献

Solubilization and reconstitution of sodium-dependent transport system for branched-chain amino acids from Pseudomonas aeruginosa 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The sodium-dependent transport system for branched-chain amino acids of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was solubilized with n-octyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside and reconstituted into liposomes by a detergent-Sephadex G-50 gel filtration procedure. The reconstituted proteoliposomes exhibited Na+-dependent counterflow and Na+-gradient-driven transport of L-leucine, L-isoleucine, and L-valine. The leucine counterflow was specifically inhibited by only branched-chain amino acids and the uphill transport of two species of amino acids among the three was induced by counterflow of the other substrate. These results show that the transport system for branched-chain amino acids was reconstituted into liposomes from P. aeruginosa cells and strongly suggest that three branched-chain amino acids are transported by a common carrier system. 相似文献

Na+-dependent I- transport and I- counterflow were studied using phospholipid vesicles (P-vesicles) made of porcine thyroid plasma membranes and soybean phospholipid by sonication. 1) I- uptake by P-vesicles incubated in the presence of external Na+ was higher than that by P-vesicles incubated in choline+ instead of Na+. The vesicles exhibited Na+-dependent I- uptake. When P-vesicles were internally loaded with I- prior to incubation in Na+, a further increase in Na+-dependent I- uptake was observed, although the concentration of internal I- was very much higher than that outside. In the absence of external Na+, I- uptake by P-vesicles preloaded with I- was comparable to baseline uptake. 2) Na+-dependent I- uptake by P-vesicles not loaded with I- and enhanced Na+-dependent I- uptake by P-vesicles preloaded with I- were both inhibited by either of SCN- and ClO4- added outside the vesicles. 3) When P-vesicles were loaded with SCN- instead of I- and incubated in Na+, I- uptake by these vesicles was also higher than baseline Na+-dependent I- uptake. However, a ClO4- load did not result in an increase in I- uptake. These results indicate that Na+-dependent I- transport including Na+-dependent I- counterflow is specifically mediated by the thyroid I- carrier. SCN- - I- counterflow in addition to I- - I- counterflow occurs dependently on Na+, but ClO4- - I- counterflow does not. 相似文献

ATP hydrolysis and synthesis by the F(0)F(1)-ATP synthase are coupled to proton translocation across the membrane in the presence of magnesium. Calcium is known, however, to disrupt this coupling in the photosynthetic enzyme in a unique way: it does not support ATP synthesis, and CaATP hydrolysis is decoupled from any proton translocation, but the membrane does not become leaky to protons. Understanding the molecular basis of these calcium-dependent effects can shed light on the as yet unclear mechanism of coupling between proton transport and rotational catalysis. We show here, using an actin filament gamma-rotation assay, that CaATP is capable of sustaining rotational motion in a highly active hybrid photosynthetic F(1)-ATPase consisting of alpha and beta subunits from Rhodospirillum rubrum and gamma subunit from spinach chloroplasts (alpha(R)(3)beta(R)(3)gamma(C)). The rotation was found to be similar to that induced by MgATP in Escherichia coli F(1)-ATPase molecules. Our results suggest a possible long range pathway that enables the bound CaATP to induce full rotational motion of gamma but might block transmission of this rotational motion into proton translocation by the F(0) part of the ATP synthase. 相似文献

Primate cells evolved a plasma membrane to restrict the loss of important molecules. The osmotic problems that then arose were solved in one of several ways. Of major importance was the evolution of specific ion pumps, to actively extrude those salts whose inward diffusion would have led to swelling and lysis. In addition, these pumps allowed the cell to store energy in the form of ion gradients across the membrane. Thus, even in the earliest stages, the evolution of ion transport systems coincided with the development of mechanisms which catalyzes the energy transformations. It is postulated that an "ATP"-driven proton pump was one of the first ion transport systems. Such a proton pump would extrude hydrogen ions from the cell, establishing both a transmembrane pH gradient (alkaline inside) and a membrane potential (negative inside). This difference in electrochemical potential for protons (the proton-motive force) could then drive a variety of essential membrane functions, such as the active transport of ions and nutrients. A second major advance was the evolution of an ion transport system that converted light energy into a form which could be used by the cell. The modern model for this is the "purple membrane" of Halobacterium halobium, which catalyzes the extrusion of protons after the capture of light. The protonmotive force generated by such a light-driven proton pump could then power net synthesis of ATP by a reversal of the ATP-driven proton pump. A third important evolutionary step associated with ion transport was the development of a system to harness energy released by biological oxidations. Again, the solution of this problem was to conserve energy as a protonmotive force by coupling the activity of a respiratory chain to the extrusion of protons. Finally, with the development of animal cells a more careful regulation of internal and external pH was required. Thus, an ATP-driven Na+-K+ pump replaced the proton-translocating ATPase as the major ion pump found in plasma membranes. 相似文献

Possible proton transport pathways in Clostridium pasteurianum (CpI) [FeFe]-hydrogenase were investigated with molecular dynamics simulations. This study was undertaken to evaluate the functional pathway and provide insight into the hydrogen bonding features defining an active proton transport pathway. Three pathways were evaluated, two of which consist of water wires and one of predominantly amino acid residues. Our simulations suggest that protons are not transported through water wires. Instead, the five-residue motif (Glu282, Ser319, Glu279, H2O, Cys299) was found to be the likely pathway, consistent with previously made experimental observations. The pathway was found to have a persistent hydrogen bonded core (residues Cys299 to Ser319), with less persistent hydrogen bonds at the ends of the pathway for both H2 release and H2 uptake. Single site mutations of the four residues have been shown experimentally to deactivate the enzyme. The theoretical evaluation of these mutations demonstrates redistribution of the hydrogen bonds in the pathway, resulting in enzyme deactivation. Finally, coupling between the protein dynamics near the proton transport pathway and the redox partner binding regions was also found as a function of H2 uptake and H2 release states, which may be indicative of a correlation between proton and electron movement within the enzyme. 相似文献

A membrane-bound ATPase detected in extracts of anaerobically grown Staphylococcus epidermidis was inhibited by a variety of compounds which inhibit ATPases in other organisms. Serine and 2-aminoisobutyric acid (AIB) were shown to enter the organism via the same transport system. The transport of AIB, the membrane potential and the transmembrane pH gradient were partially or completely abolished by the same inhibitors and also by uncoupling agents and lipid-soluble ions. It is proposed therefore that this ATPase generates and maintains an electrochemical gradient of protons across the cytoplasmic membrane of S. epidermidis capable of driving AIB uptake. Studies of AIB-induced proton movements suggested that AIB enters via a proton symport mechanism. 相似文献

The role of protons as substitutes for Na+ and/or K+ in the sodium pump reaction was examined using inside-out membrane vesicles derived from human red cells. Na+-like effects of protons suggested previously (Blostein, R. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 829-833) were substantiated by the following observations: (i) in the absence of extravesicular (cytoplasmic) Na+, an increase in cytoplasmic [H+] increased both strophanthidin-sensitive ATP hydrolysis (nu) and the steady-state level of phosphoenzyme, EP, and (ii) as [H+] is increased, the Na+/ATP coupling ratio is decreased. K+-like effects of protons were evidenced in the following results: (i) an increase in nu, decrease in EP, and hence increase in EP turnover (nu/EP) occur when intravesicular (extracellular) [H+] is increased; (ii) an increase in the rate of Na+ influx into K+(Rb+)-free inside-out vesicles and (iii) a decrease in Rb+/ATP coupling occur when [H+] is increased. Direct evidence for H+ being translocated in place of cytoplasmic Na+ and extracellular K+ was obtained by monitoring pH changes using fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran-filled vesicles derived from 4',4-diisothiocyano-2',2-stilbene disulfonate-treated cells. With the initial pHi = pHo = pH 6.2, a strophanthidin-sensitive decrease in pHi was observed following addition of ATP provided the vesicles contained K+. This pH gradient was abolished following addition of Na+. With alkali cation-free inside-out vesicles, a strophanthidin-sensitive increase in pH was observed upon addition of both ATP and Na+. The foregoing changes in pHi were not affected by the addition of tetrabutylammonium to dissipate any membrane potential and were not observed at pH 6.8. These ATP-dependent cardiac glycoside-sensitive proton movements indicate Na,K-ATPase mediated Na+/H+ exchange in the absence of extracellular K+ as well as H+/K+ exchange in the absence of cytoplasmic Na+. 相似文献

The Cl(-)/H(+) exchange mediated by ClC transporters can be uncoupled by external SCN(-) and mutations of the proton glutamate, a conserved residue at the internal side of the protein. We show here for the mammalian ClC transporter ClC-5 that acidic internal pH led to a greater increase in currents upon exchanging extracellular Cl(-) for SCN(-). However, transport uncoupling, unitary current amplitudes, and the voltage dependence of the depolarization-induced activation were not altered by low pH values. Therefore, it is likely that an additional gating process regulates ClC-5 transport. Higher internal [H(+)] and the proton glutamate mutant E268H altered the ratio between ClC-5 transport and nonlinear capacitance, indicating that the gating charge movements in ClC-5 arise from incomplete transport cycles and that internal protons increase the transport probability of ClC-5. This was substantiated by site-directed sulfhydryl modification of the proton glutamate mutant E268C. The mutation exhibited small transport currents together with prominent gating charge movements. The charge restoration using a negatively charged sulfhydryl reagent reinstated also the WT phenotype. Neutralization of the charge of the gating glutamate 211 by the E211C mutation abolished the effect of internal protons, showing that the increased transport probability of ClC-5 results from protonation of this residue. S168P (a mutation that decreases the anion affinity of the central binding site) reduced also the internal pH dependence of ClC-5. These results support the idea that protonation of the gating glutamate 211 at the central anion-binding site of ClC-5 is mediated by the proton glutamate 268. 相似文献

A new metabolite was produced from 18-hydroxydeoxycorticosterone by the cytochrome P-450(11) beta linked hydroxylase system purified from bovine adrenocortical mitochondria. It was identified as 18,19-dihydroxydeoxycorticosterone by chemical synthesis on the basis of high-performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy, and detailed structural analysis of it was performed by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The methylene protons at the C-19 position of the steroid were nonequivalent and coupled with each other, having a coupling constant of 10.6 Hz. These protons had different coupling constants, 6.7 and 3.4 Hz, for the hydroxy proton at the C-19 position. Due to these couplings, the signals of the methylene protons were observed around 3.9 ppm as two double doublets. The methylene protons at the C-21 position were also nonequivalent, having a coupling constant of 11.1 Hz. Coupling constants between these methylene protons and the hydroxy proton at the C-21 position were 8.2 and 4.2 Hz, respectively. These results indicate that both hydroxymethyl groups at the C-19 and C-21 positions do not freely rotate in chloroform solution. The signals of hydroxy protons at the C-19 and C-21 positions were found at 1.25 and 1.87 ppm, respectively, by means of decoupling of the corresponding methylene protons. The hydroxy proton at the C-18 position was found to scarcely couple with any proton. This fact suggests that this hydroxy group is linked to the C-20 position, making a hemiketal bridge between the C-18 and the C-20. 相似文献

At very low concentrations (less than 1 muM) triphenyltin chloride inhibits ATP formation and coupled electron transport in isolated spinach chloroplasts. Basal (-Pi) and uncoupled electron transport are not affected by triphenyltin. The membrane-bount ATP in equilibrium Pi exchange and Mg2+-dependent ATPase activities of chloroplasts are also completely sensitive to triphenyltin, although the Ca2+-dependent and Mg2+-dependent ATPase activities of the isolated coupling factor protein are insensitive to triphenyltin. The light-driven proton pump in chloroplasts is stimulated (up to 60%) by low levels of triphenyltin. Indeed, the amount of triphenyltin necessary to inhibit ATP formation or stimulate proton uptake is dependent upon the amount of chloroplasts present in the reaction mixture, with an apparent stoichiometry of 2-2.5 triphenyltin molecules/100 chlorophyll molecules at 50% inhibition of ATP formation and half-maximal stimulation of proton uptake. Chloroplasts partially stripped of coupling factor by an EDTA was are no longer able to accumulate protons in the light. However, low levels of triphenyltin can effectively restore this ability. The amount of triphenyltin required for the restoration of net proton uptake is also dependent upon the amount of chloroplasts, with a stoichiometry of 4-5 triphenyltin molecules/100 chlorophyll molecules at 50% reconstitution. On the basis of this and other evidence it is concluded that triphenyltin chloride inhibits phosphorylation.Atp in equilibrium Pi exchange and membrane-bound ATPase activities in chloroplasts by specifically blocking the transport of protons through a membrane-bound carrier or channel located in a hydrophobic region of the membrane at or near the functional binding site for the coupling factor. 相似文献

The basolateral Na-H antiporter of the turtle colon exhibits both conductive and electroneutral Na+ transport (Post and Dawson. 1992. American Journal of Physiology. 262:C1089-C1094). To explore the mechanism of antiporter-mediated current flow, we compared the conditions necessary to evoke conduction and exchange, and determined the kinetics of activation for both processes. Outward (cell to extracellular fluid) but not inward (extracellular fluid to cell) Na+ or Li+ gradients promoted antiporter-mediated Na+ or Li+ currents, whereas an outwardly directed proton gradient drove inward Na+ or Li+ currents. Proton gradient-driven, "counterflow" current is strong evidence for an exchange stoichiometry of > 1 Na+ or Li+ per proton. Consistent with this notion, outward Na+ and Li+ currents generated by outward Na+ or Li+ gradients displayed sigmoidal activation kinetics. Antiporter-mediated proton currents were never observed, suggesting that only a single proton was transported per turnover of the antiporter. In contrast to Na+ conduction, Na+ exchange was driven by either outwardly or inwardly directed Na+, Li+, or H+ gradients, and the activation of Na+/Na+ exchange was consistent with Michaelis-Menten kinetics (K1/2 = 5 mM). Raising the extracellular fluid Na+ or Li+ concentration, but not extracellular fluid proton concentration, inhibited antiporter-mediated conduction and activated Na+ exchange. These results are consistent with a model for the Na-H antiporter in which the binding of Na+ or Li+ to a high-affinity site gives rise to one-for-one cation exchange, but the binding of Na+ or Li+ ions to other, lower-affinity sites can give rise to a nonunity, cation exchange stoichiometry and, hence, the net translocation of charge. The relative proportion of conductive and nonconductive events is determined by the magnitude and orientation of the substrate gradient and by the serosal concentration of Na+ or Li+. 相似文献
