Mammalian facilitative glucose transporters: evidence for similar substrate recognition sites in functionally monomeric proteins. 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Four facilitative glucose transporters isoforms, GLUT1/erythrocyte, GLUT2/liver, GLUT3/brain, and GLUT4/muscle-fat, as well as chimeric transporter proteins were expressed in Xenopus oocytes, and their properties were studied. The relative Km's of the transporters for 2-deoxyglucose were GLUT3 (Km = 1.8 mM) > GLUT4 (Km = 4.6 mM) > GLUT1 (Km = 6.9 mM) > GLUT2 (Km = 17.1 mM). In a similar fashion, the uptake of 2-deoxyglucose by GLUT1-, GLUT2-, and GLUT3-expressing oocytes was inhibited by a series of unlabeled hexoses and pentoses and by cytochalasin B in a similar hierarchical order. To determine if the functional unit of the glucose transporter was a monomer or higher-order multimer, the high-affinity transporter GLUT3 was coexpressed with either the low-affinity GLUT2 or a GLUT3 mutant which contained a transport inactivating Trp410-->Leu substitution. In oocytes expressing both GLUT2 and GLUT3, the transport activity associated with each transporter isoform could be distinguished kinetically. Similarly, there was no alteration in the kinetic parameters of GLUT3, or the ability of glucose or cytochalasin B to inhibit 2-deoxyglucose uptake, when coexpressed with up to a 3-fold greater amount of functionally inactive mutant of GLUT3. These studies suggest that the family of glucose transporters have similar binding sites which may be in the form of a functional monomeric unit when expressed in Xenopus oocytes. 相似文献

Arsenic exposure is associated with hypertension, diabetes, and cancer. Some mammals methylate arsenic. Saccharomyces cerevisiae hexose permeases catalyze As(OH)(3) uptake. Here, we report that mammalian glucose transporter GLUT1 catalyzes As(OH)(3) and CH(3)As(OH)(2) uptake in yeast or in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Expression of GLUT1 in a yeast lacking other glucose transporters allows for growth on glucose. Yeast expressing yeast HXT1 or rat GLUT1 transport As(OH)(3) and CH(3)As(OH)(2). The K(m) of GLUT1 is to 1.2mM for CH(3)As(OH)(2), compared to a K(m) of 3mM for glucose. Inhibition between glucose and CH(3)As(OH)(2) is noncompetitive, suggesting differences between the translocation pathways of hexoses and arsenicals. Both human and rat GLUT1 catalyze uptake of both As(OH)(3) and CH(3)As(OH)(2) in oocytes. Thus GLUT1 may be a major pathway uptake of both inorganic and methylated arsenicals in erythrocytes or the epithelial cells of the blood-brain barrier, contributing to arsenic-related cardiovascular problems and neurotoxicity. 相似文献

We have recently identified and cloned the cDNA of a new member of the glucose transporter family that has been designated GLUT12. GLUT12 possesses the structural features critical to facilitative transport of glucose but the key to understanding the possible physiological roles of this novel protein requires analysis of functional glucose transport. In the current study, we have utilized the Xenopus laevis oocyte expression system to assay transport of the glucose analog 2-deoxy-D-glucose and characterize the glucose transport properties and hexose affinities of GLUT12. Our results demonstrate that GLUT12 facilitates transport of glucose with an apparent preferential substrate affinity for glucose over other hexoses assayed. The results are significant to understanding the potential role and importance of GLUT12 in insulin-sensitive tissues and also cells with high glucose utilization such as cancer cells. 相似文献

The human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, has long been known to have a homologue of the human 'multidrug resistance' P-glycoprotein. P-glycoprotein is an ABC transporter that pumps drugs from multidrug-resistant cancer cells. The malaria parasite's P-glycoprotein homologue, Pgh1, is known to influence the sensitivity of malaria parasites to a diverse range of antimalarial drugs, but the mechanism by which it does so has remained obscure. In a new paper, Sanchez et al. report the successful functional expression of Pgh1 in Xenopus laevis oocytes and provide the first direct demonstration of the ability of Pgh1 to transport drugs. The work provides important new insights into the mechanism by which Pgh1 influences malaria parasite drug sensitivity. 相似文献

The functional consequences of an in vivo heterozygous insertion mutation in the human facilitated glucose transporter isoform 1 (GLUT1) gene were investigated. The resulting frameshift in exon 10 changed the primary structure of the C-terminus from 42 in native GLUT1 to 61 amino acid residues in the mutant. Kinetic studies on a patient's erythrocytes were substantiated by expressing the mutant cDNA in Xenopus laevis oocytes. K(m) and V(max) values were clearly decreased explaining pathogenicity. Targeting to the plasma membrane was comparable between mutant and wild-type GLUT1. Transport inhibition by cytochalasin B was more effective in the mutant than in the wild-type transporter. The substrate specificity of GLUT1 remained unchanged. 相似文献

We studied the acquisition of dehydroascorbic acid by rat hepatocytes, H4IIE rat hepatoma cells and Xenopus laevis oocytes. Transport kinetics and competition and inhibition studies revealed that rat hepatocytes transport oxidized dehydroascorbic acid through a single functional component possessing the functional and kinetic properties expected for the glucose transporter GLUT2. On the other hand, rat hepatoma cells showed expression of at least two dehydroascorbic acid transporters with the expected functional and kinetic properties expected for GLUT1 and GLUT2. Expression studies of GLUT2 in X. laevis oocytes followed by transport kinetics and competition and inhibition studies revealed that GLUT2 is a low affinity dehydroascorbic transporter whose kinetic and functional properties match those observed for the endogenous GLUT2 transporter in rat hepatocytes and rat hepatoma cells. Therefore, GLUT2, a transporter known as a low affinity transporter of glucose and fructose and a high affinity transporter of glucosamine is also a low affinity dehydroascorbic acid transporter. 相似文献

We have recently reported that expression in yeast cells of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) encoded by the mouse multidrug resistance mdr3 gene (Mdr3) can complement a null ste6 mutation (M. Raymond, P. Gros, M. Whiteway, and D. Y. Thomas, Science 256:232-234, 1992). Here we show that Mdr3 behaves as a fully functional drug transporter in this heterologous expression system. Photolabelling experiments indicate that Mdr3 synthesized in yeast cells binds the drug analog [125I]iodoaryl azidoprazosin, this binding being competed for by vinblastine and tetraphenylphosphonium bromide, two known multidrug resistance drugs. Spheroplasts expressing wild-type Mdr3 (Ser-939) exhibit an ATP-dependent and verapamil-sensitive decreased accumulation of [3H]vinblastine as compared with spheroplasts expressing a mutant form of Mdr3 with impaired transport activity (Phe-939). Expression of Mdr3 in yeast cells can confer resistance to growth inhibition by the antifungal and immunosuppressive agent FK520, suggesting that this compound is a substrate for P-gp in yeast cells. Replacement of Ser-939 in Mdr3 by a series of amino acid substitutions is shown to modulate both the level of cellular resistance to FK520 and the mating efficiency of yeast mdr3 transformants. The effects of these mutations on the function of Mdr3 in yeast cells are similar to those observed in mammalian cells with respect to drug resistance and transport, indicating that transport of a-factor and FK520 in yeast cells is mechanistically similar to drug transport in mammalian cells. The ability of P-gp to confer cellular resistance to FK520 in yeast cells establishes a dominant phenotype that can be assayed for the positive selection of intragenic revertants of P-gp inactive mutants, an important tool for the structure-function analysis of mammalian P-gp in yeast cells. 相似文献

Vitamin C and flavonoids, polyphenols with uncertain function, are abundant in fruits and vegetables. We postulated that flavonoids have a novel regulatory action of delaying or inhibiting absorption of vitamin C and glucose, which are structurally similar. From six structural classes of flavonoids, at least 12 compounds were chosen for studies. We investigated the effects of selected flavonoids on the intestinal vitamin C transporter SVCT1(h) by transfecting and overexpressing SVCT1(h) in Chinese hamster ovary cells. Flavonoids reversibly inhibited vitamin C transport in transfected cells with IC(50) values of 10-50 microm, concentrations expected to have physiologic consequences. The most potent inhibitor class was flavonols, of which quercetin is most abundant in foods. Because Chinese hamster ovary cells have endogenous vitamin C transport, we expressed SVCT1(h) in Xenopus laevis oocytes to study the mechanism of transport inhibition. Quercetin was a reversible and non-competitive inhibitor of ascorbate transport; K(i) 17.8 microm. Quercetin was a potent non-competitive inhibitor of GLUT2 expressed in Xenopus oocytes; K(i) 22.8 microm. When diabetic rats were administered glucose with quercetin, hyperglycemia was significantly decreased compared with administration of glucose alone. Quercetin also significantly decreased ascorbate absorption in normal rats given ascorbate plus quercetin compared with rats given ascorbate alone. Quercetin was a specific transport inhibitor, because it did not inhibit intestinal sugar transporters GLUT5 and SGLT1 that were injected and expressed in Xenopus oocytes. Quercetin inhibited but was not transported by SVCT1(h). Considered together, these data show that flavonoids modulate vitamin C and glucose transport by their respective intestinal transporters and suggest a new function for flavonoids. 相似文献

Glucose transport across the plasma membrane is mediated by a family of glucose transporter proteins (GLUTs), several of which have been identified in mammalian, avian, and, more recently, in fish species. Here, we report on the cloning of a salmon GLUT from adipose tissue with a high sequence homology to mammalian GLUT4 that has been named okGLUT4. Kinetic analysis of glucose transport following expression in Xenopus laevis oocytes demonstrated a 7.6 +/- 1.4 mM K(m) for 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) transport measured under zero-trans conditions and 14.4 +/- 1.5 mM by equilibrium exchange of 3-O-methylglucose. Transport of 2-DG by okGLUT4-injected oocytes was stereospecific and was competed by D-glucose, D-mannose, and, to a lesser extent, D-galactose and D-fructose. In addition, 2-DG uptake was inhibited by cytochalasin B and ethylidene glucose. Moreover, insulin stimulated glucose uptake in Xenopus oocytes expressing okGLUT4 and in isolated trout adipocytes, which contain the native form of okGLUT4. Despite differences in protein motifs important for insulin-stimulated translocation of mammalian GLUT4, okGLUT4 was able to translocate to the plasma membrane from intracellular localization sites in response to insulin when expressed in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. These data demonstrate that okGLUT4 is a structural and functional fish homolog of mammalian GLUT4 but with a lower affinity for glucose, which could in part explain the lower ability of fish to clear a glucose load. 相似文献

A series of novel steroidal pyrazoles was synthesized as substrates for bile acid transporters to explore their potential as drug carriers. The selected pyrazole fused bile acids were further conjugated with drugs and drug surrogates. Their in vitro transport activities were evaluated in human ileal bile acid transporter (hIBAT) and human liver bile acid transporter (hLBAT) expressing Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-cells and Xenopus laevis oocytes. The results of synthetic efforts and transporter assays studies are described herein. 相似文献

The intracellular C-terminal domain is diverse in size and amino acid sequence among facilitative glucose transporter isoforms. The characteristics of glucose transport are also divergent, and GLUT2 has far higher Km and Vmax values compared with GLUT1. To investigate the role of the intracellular C-terminal domain in glucose transport, we expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells the mutated GLUT1 protein whose intracellular C-terminal domain was replaced with that of GLUT2 by means of engineering the chimeric cDNA. Cytochalasin B, for which GLUT2 protein has much lower affinity, bound to this chimeric protein in a fashion similar to GLUT1. In contrast, greater transport activity was observed in this chimeric glucose transporter compared with the wild-type GLUT1 at 10 mM 2-deoxy-D-glucose concentration. The kinetic studies on 2-deoxy-D-glucose uptake revealed a 3.8-fold increase in Km and a 4.3-fold increase in Vmax in this chimeric glucose transporter compared with the wild-type GLUT1. Thus, replacement of the intracellular C-terminal domain confers the GLUT2-like property on the glucose transporter. These results strongly suggest that the diversity of intracellular C-terminal domain contributes to the diversity of glucose transport characteristics among isoforms. 相似文献

Dehydroascorbic acid (DHA), the first stable oxidation product of vitamin C, was transported by GLUT1 and GLUT3 in Xenopus laevis oocytes with transport rates similar to that of 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG), but due to inherent difficulties with GLUT4 expression in oocytes it was uncertain whether GLUT4 transported DHA (Rumsey, S. C. , Kwon, O., Xu, G. W., Burant, C. F., Simpson, I., and Levine, M. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 18982-18989). We therefore studied DHA and 2-DG transport in rat adipocytes, which express GLUT4. Without insulin, rat adipocytes transported 2-DG 2-3-fold faster than DHA. Preincubation with insulin (0.67 micrometer) increased transport of each substrate similarly: 7-10-fold for 2-DG and 6-8-fold for DHA. Because intracellular reduction of DHA in adipocytes was complete before and after insulin stimulation, increased transport of DHA was not explained by increased internal reduction of DHA to ascorbate. To determine apparent transport kinetics of GLUT4 for DHA, GLUT4 expression in Xenopus oocytes was reexamined. Preincubation of oocytes for >4 h with insulin (1 micrometer) augmented GLUT4 transport of 2-DG and DHA by up to 5-fold. Transport of both substrates was inhibited by cytochalasin B and displayed saturable kinetics. GLUT4 had a higher apparent transport affinity (K(m) of 0.98 versus 5.2 mm) and lower maximal transport rate (V(max) of 66 versus 880 pmol/oocyte/10 min) for DHA compared with 2-DG. The lower transport rate for DHA could not be explained by binding differences at the outer membrane face, as shown by inhibition with ethylidene glucose, or by transporter trans-activation and therefore was probably due to substrate-specific differences in transporter/substrate translocation or release. These novel data indicate that the insulin-sensitive transporter GLUT4 transports DHA in both rat adipocytes and Xenopus oocytes. Alterations of this mechanism in diabetes could have clinical implications for ascorbate utilization. 相似文献

In this study we tested the hypothesis that functional erythrocyte-type glucose transporters (GLUT1) exist as oligomeric complexes by expressing chimeric transporter proteins in Chinese hamster ovary cells harboring endogenous GLUT1 transporters. The chimeric transporters were GLUT1-4c, in which the 29 C-terminal residues of human GLUT1 were replaced by the 30 C-terminal residues of rat skeletal muscle glucose transporter (GLUT4), and GLUT1n-4, containing the N-terminal 199 residues of GLUT1 and the 294 C-terminal residues of GLUT4. Endogenous GLUT1 was quantitatively co-immunoprecipitated by using an anti-GLUT4 C-terminal peptide antibody from detergent extracts of Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing either of the chimeric proteins, as detected by immunoblotting the precipitates with an anti-GLUT1 C-terminal peptide antiserum. No co-immunoprecipitation of native GLUT1 with native GLUT4 from extracts of 3T3-L1 adipocytes, which contain both these transporters, was observed with the same antibody. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that GLUT1 transporters exist as homodimers or higher order oligomers and that a major determinant of oligomerization is located within the first 199 residues of GLUT1. 相似文献

We report the functional expression of two different mammalian facilitative glucose transporters in Xenopus oocytes. The RNAs encoding the rat brain and liver glucose transporters were transcribed in vitro and microinjected into Xenopus oocytes. Microinjected cells showed a marked increase in 2-deoxy-D-glucose uptake as compared with controls injected with water. 2-Deoxy-D-glucose uptake increased during the 5 days after microinjection of the RNAs, and the microinjected RNAs were stable for at least 3 days. The expression of functional glucose transporters was dependent on the amount of RNA injected. The oocyte-expressed transporters could be immunoprecipitated with anti-brain and anti-liver glucose transporter-specific antibodies. Uninjected oocytes expressed an endogenous transporter that appeared to be stereospecific and inhibitable by cytochalasin B. This transporter was kinetically and immunologically distinguishable from both rat brain and liver glucose transporters. The uniqueness of this transporter was confirmed by Northern (RNA) blot analysis. The endogenous oocyte transporter was responsive to insulin and to insulinlike growth factor I. Most interestingly, both the rat brain and liver glucose transporters, which were not insulin sensitive in the tissues from which they were cloned, responded to insulin in the oocyte similarly to the endogenous oocyte transporter. These data suggest that the insulin responsiveness of a given glucose transporter depends on the type of cell in which the protein is expressed. The expression of hexose transporters in the microinjected oocytes may help to identify tissue-specific molecules involved in hormonal alterations in hexose transport activity. 相似文献

Expression of human glucose transporters in Xenopus oocytes: kinetic characterization and substrate specificities of the erythrocyte, liver, and brain isoforms 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
We describe the functional expression of three members of the family of human facilitative glucose transporters, the erythrocyte-type transporter (GLUT 1), the liver-type transporter (GLUT 2), and the brain-type transporter (GLUT 3), by microinjection of their corresponding mRNAs into Xenopus oocytes. Expression was determined by the appearance of transport activity, as measured by the transport of 3-O-methyl-D-glucose or 2-deoxy-D-glucose. We have measured the Km for 3-O-methyl-D-glucose of GLUTs 1, 2, and 3, and the results are discussed in light of the possible roles for these different transporters in the regulation of blood glucose. The substrate specificity of these transporter isoforms has also been examined. We show that, for all transporters, the transport of 2-deoxy-D-glucose is inhibited by D-but not by L-glucose. In addition, both D-galactose and D-mannose are transported by GLUTs 1-3 at significant rates; furthermore, GLUT 2 is capable of transporting D-fructose. The nature of the glucose binding sites of GLUTs 1-3 was investigated by using hexose inhibition of 2-deoxy-D-glucose uptake. We show that the characteristics of this inhibition are different for each transporter isoform. 相似文献

Double-label fluorescence microscopy was used to demonstrate the efflux activity of the multidrug transporter in single cultured cells. NIH3T3 cells expressing a transfected MDR1 gene (NIH3T3-MDR) were treated with vinblastine or daunomycin. The accumulation of vinblastine was monitored by examining the morphology of tubulin in cells, using immunofluorescence. Overnight treatment of drug-sensitive cells caused disassembly of microtubules and formation of paracrystals; the absence of vinblastine effects was evident by the presence of intact microtubules. Daunomycin accumulation was detected in nuclei using the inherent fluorescence of the drug with rhodamine epifluorescence microscopy. Drug efflux in multidrug-resistant cells was inhibited with verapamil. When multidrug-resistant cells were treated overnight in vinblastine, an effect of 0.5 microM vinblastine on microtubules was seen only in the presence of verapamil. Similarly, when cells were treated with daunomycin, this drug accumulated in nuclei only when verapamil was present. When cells incubated with vinblastine and verapamil were washed free of drugs, they did not accumulate daunomycin in a subsequent incubation, indicating that the multidrug transporter was still active; this occurred even though the morphologic effects of vinblastine persisted. Cells incubated with vinblastine alone showed an immediate inhibition of efflux activity when verapamil was subsequently added with daunomycin. These results show that the efflux activity of the multidrug transporter can be rapidly manipulated by agents such as verapamil, despite a prior history of drug treatment, and that the effects of inhibition of the transporter are rapidly reversible. 相似文献

Fructose transporter in human spermatozoa and small intestine is GLUT5. 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15

We recently reported that the glucose transporter isoform, GLUT5, is expressed on the brush border membrane of human small intestinal enterocytes (Davidson, N. O., Hausman, A. M. L., Ifkovits, C. A., Buse, J. B., Gould, G. W., Burant, C. F., and Bell, G. I. (1992) Am. J. Physiol. 262, C795-C800). To define its role in sugar transport, human GLUT5 was expressed in Xenopus oocytes and its substrate specificity and kinetic properties determined. GLUT5 exhibits selectivity for fructose transport, as determined by inhibition studies, with a Km of 6 mM. In addition, fructose transport by GLUT5 is not inhibited by cytochalasin B, a competitive inhibitor of facilitative glucose transporters. RNA and protein blotting studies showed the presence of high levels of GLUT5 mRNA and protein in human testis and spermatozoa, and immunocytochemical studies localize GLUT5 to the plasma membrane of mature spermatids and spermatozoa. The biochemical properties and tissue distribution of GLUT5 are consistent with a physiological role for this protein as a fructose transporter. 相似文献

Resistance to several anti-malarial drugs has been associated with polymorphisms within the P-glycoprotein homologue (Pgh-1, PfMDR1) of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Pgh-1, coded for by the gene pfmdr1, is predominately located at the membrane of the parasite's digestive vacuole. How polymorphisms within this transporter mediate alter anti-malarial drug responsiveness has remained obscure. Here we have functionally expressed pfmdr1 in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Our data demonstrate that Pgh-1 transports vinblastine, an established substrate of mammalian MDR1, and the anti-malarial drugs halofantrine, quinine and chloroquine. Importantly, polymorphisms within Pgh-1 alter the substrate specificity for the anti-malarial drugs. Wild-type Pgh-1 transports quinine and chloroquine, but not halofantrine, whereas polymorphic Pgh-1 variants, associated with altered drug responsivenesses, transport halofantrine but not quinine and chloroquine. Our data further suggest that quinine acts as an inhibitor of Pgh-1. Our data are discussed in terms of the model that Pgh-1-mediates, in a variant-specific manner, import of certain drugs into the P. falciparum digestive vacuole, and that this contributes to accumulation of, and susceptibility to, the drug in question. 相似文献
