In situ light measurements were used to obtain information oninherent and apparent optical properties. The average verticalattenuation coefficient Kd(ave) varied from 1.1 to 4.6 In unitsm1 During three periods the variation in Kd(ave) correlatedwith changes in chlorophyll a concentration and specific attenuationcoefficients Ks, of 0.013, 0.014 and 0.022 m2 mg Chl a1were calculated. Chlorophyll-specific diffuse absorption coefficients(A,) for these periods were 0.012. 0.013 and 0.017 m2 mg Chla1 and only varied significantly from estimates of Ksin the period when scattering was intense. Absorption coefficientsa(zmid) and scattering coefficients b(zmid) calculated for themid-point of the euphotic zone ranged between 0.45 and 2.9 mand 3.552.0 m respectively. Chlorophyll-specific absorptioncoefficients Ka, of 0.005, 0.006 and 0.007 m2 mg Chl a1and scattering coefficients Kb of 0.05. 0.09 and 0.191 m2 mgChl a1 were measured during the three periods. The highKb value occurred when gas-vacuolate cyanobactena were dominant.Algal photosynthesis and light absorption were related throughthe maximum quantum yield m which varied between 0.019 and 0.11mol C Einstein1 while average quantum yields a, variedbetween 0.006 and 0.024 with a mean of 0.013 mol C Einstein1A comparison of changes in the mean irradiance of the mixedzone and chlorophyll concentration indicated that growth waslight limited below 0.040.05 Einsteins absorbed mg Chla1 day1. 相似文献

NADP malic enzyme (EC 1.1.1.40
[EC]
) from leaves of two C4 speciesof Cyperus (C. rotundus and C. brevifolius var leiolepis) exihibiteda low level of activity in an assay mixture that contained lowconcentrations of Cl. This low level of activity wasmarkedly enhanced by increases in the concentration of NaClup to 200 mM. Since the activity of NADP malic enzyme was inhibitedby Na2SO4 and stimulated by relatively high concentration ofTris-HCl (50100 mM, pH 78), the activation ofthe enzyme by NaCl appears to be due to Cl. Variationsin the concentration of Mg2+ affected the KA (the concentrationof activator giving half-maximal activation) for Cl,which decreased from 500 mM to 80 mM with increasing concentrationsof Mg2+ from 0.5 mM to 7 mM. The Km for Mg2+ was decreased from7.7 mM to 1.3 mM with increases in the concentration of NaClfrom zero to 200 mM, although the increase of Vmax was not remarkable.NADP malic enzyme from Cyperus, being similar to that from otherC4 species, was able to utilize Mn2+. The Km for Mn2+ was 5mM, a value similar to that for Mg2+. The addition of 91 mMNaCl markedly decreased the Km for Mn2+ to 20 +M. NADP malicenzyme from Setaria glauca, which contains rather less Clthan other C4 species, was inactivated by concentrations ofNaCl above 20 mM, although slight activation of the enzyme wasobserved at low concentrations of NaCl at pH7.6.

The kinetic properties of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) carboxylasehave been studied among several Flaveria species: the C3 speciesF. cronquistii, the C3C4 species F. pubescens and F.linearis, and the C4 species F. trinervia. At either pH 7 or8, the maximum activities (in µmol.mg Chl1.h1)for F. pubescens and linearis (187513) were intermediateto those of the C3 species (1219) and the C4 species(2,1822,627). The response curves of velocity versusPEP concentration were hyperbolic for the C3 and C3C4species at either pH 7 or 8 while they were sigmoidal for theC4 species at pH 7 and hyperbolic at pH 8. The Km values forPEP determined from reciprocal plots were lowest in the C3 species,and of intermediate value in the C3C4 species comparedto the K' values of the C4 species determined from Hill plotsat either pH 7 or 8. Glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) decreased theKm values for PEP at both pH 7 and 8 in the C3 and C3C4species. In the C4 species, G6P decreased the K' values at pH8 but increased the K' values at pH 7. In all cases, G6P hadits effect by influencing the activity at limiting PEP concentrationswith little or no effect on the maximum activity. At pH 8 andlimiting concentrations of PEP the degree of stimulation ofthe activity by G6P was greatest in the C4 species, intermediatein F. linearis, a C3C4 species, and lowest in the C3species. In several respects, the PEP carboxylases of the C3C4Flaveria species have properties intermediate to those of theC3 and C4 species. (Received April 30, 1983; Accepted August 22, 1983) 相似文献

Plants of Lupinus albus L., cv. Ultra, were grown hydroponicallywith NO3-nutrition for 51 d under control (0.05 mol m3Na+ and 10 mol m3 Cl) and saline (40 mol m3NaCI) conditions. Plants were harvested 41 and 51 d after germinationand analysed for content and net increment of C, N and the mineralcations K+, Na+, Mg2+, and Ca2+ and the anions Cl, NOJ,malate, phosphate, and SO42. Roots, stem interaodes,petioles and leaflets were analysed separately. During the studyperiod net photosynthesis, respiratory losses of CO2 from shootand root and the composition of the spontaneously bleeding phloemsap and the root pressure xylem exudate were also determined.Using molar ratios of C over N in the transport fluids, incrementsof C and N, and photosynthetic gains as well as respiratorylosses of C, the net flows of C and N in the xylem and phloemwere then calculated as in earlier studies (Pate, Layzell andMcNeill, 1979a). Knowing the carbon flows, the ratios of ionto carbon in the phloem sap, and ion increments in individualorgans, net flows of K+, Na+, and Cl over the study periodwere also calculated. Salt stress led to a general decrease of all partial componentsof C and N partitioning indicating that inhibitions were notdue to specific effects of NaCI salinity on photosynthesis oron NO3 uptake. However, there were differences between variouslyaged organs, and net phloem export of nitrogenous compoundsfrom ageing leaves was substantially enhanced under saline conditions.In addition, NO3reduction in the roots was specificallyinhibited. Uptake and xylem transport of K+ was more severelyinhibited than photosynthetic carbon gain or NO3 uptakeby the root. K+ transport in the phloem was even more severelyrestricted under saline conditions. Na+ and Cl flowsand uptake, on the other hand, were substantially increasedin the presence of salt and, in particular, there were thenmassive flows of Na in the phloem. The results are discussedin relation to the causes of salt sensitivity of Lupinus albus.The data suggest that both a restriction of K+ supply and astrongly increased phloem translocation of Na+ contribute tothe adverse effects of salt in this species. Restriction ofK+ supply occurs by diminished K+ uptake and even more by reducedK+ cycling within the plant.

Utilization Modes of Inorganic Carbon for Photosynthesis in Various Species of Chlorella 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Rates of CO2 and HCC3 fixation in cells of various Chlorellaspecies in suspension were compared from the amounts of 14Cfixed during the 5 s after the injection of a solution containingonly 14CO2 or H14CO3. Results indicated that irrespectiveof the CO2 concentration during growth, Chlorella vulgaris 11h and C. miniata mainly utilized CO2, whereas C. vulgaris C-3,C. sp. K. and C. ellipsoidea took up HCO3 in additionto CO2. Cells of C. pyrenoidosa that had been grown with 1.5%CO2 (high-CO2 cells) mainly utilized CO2, whereas those grownwith air (low-CO2 cells) utilized HCO3 in addition toCO2. Cells that utilized HCO3 had carbonic anhydrase(CA) on their surfaces. The effects of Diamox and CA on the rates of CO2 and HCO3fixation are in accord with the inference that HCO3 wasutilized after conversion to CO2 via the CA located on the cellsurface. CA was found in both the soluble and insoluble fractions;the CA on the cell surface was insoluble. Independent of the modes of utilization, the apparent Km (NaHCO3)for photosynthesis was much lower in low-CO2 cells than in high-CO2ones. The fact that the CA in the soluble fraction in C. vulgarisC-3 was closely correlated with the Km(NaHCO3) indicates thatsoluble CA lowers the Km.

In situ growth and development of Neocalanus flemingeri/plumchrusstage C1C4 copepodites were estimated by both the artificial-cohortand the single-stage incubation methods in March, April andMay of 20012005 at 56°C. Results from thesetwo methods were comparable and consistent. In the field, C1C4stage durations ranged from 7 to >100 days, dependent ontemperature and chlorophyll a (Chl a) concentration. Averagestage durations were 12.414.1 days, yielding an averageof 56 days to reach C5, but under optimal conditions stage durationswere closer to 10 days, shortening the time to reach C5 (fromC1) to 46 days. Generally, growth rates decreased with increasingstage, ranging from 0.28 day1 to close to zero but weretypically between 0.20 and 0.05 day1, averaging 0.110± 0.006 day1 (mean ± SE) for single-stageand 0.107 ± 0.005 day1 (mean ± SE) forartificial-cohort methods. Growth was well described by equationsof MichaelisMenten form, with maximum growth rates (Gmax)of 0.170.18 day1 and half saturation Chl a concentrations(Kchl) of 0.450.46 mg m3 for combined C13,while Gmax dropped to 0.080.09 day1 but Kchl remainedat 0.380.93 mg m3 for C4. In this study, in situgrowth of N. flemingeri/plumchrus was frequently food limitedto some degree, particularly during March. A comparison withglobal models of copepod growth rates suggests that these modelsstill require considerable refinement. We suggest that the artificial-cohortmethod is the most practical approach to generating the multispeciesdata required to address these deficiencies. 相似文献

The two parameters of the hyperbolic tangent equation, Pm and, were estimated from in situ vertical profiles of primary productionusing mesocosm data along a nutrient gradient. The parameters,derived from 4-h (around noon) 14C incubations, were used togetherwith the photosynthesis-light curve and hourly solar radiationdata to calculate daily primary production rates (Pd). Approximately40% of the daily production occurred in the 4 h around noon.Considering parameter uncertainty, there was no indication ofan increase in variation in production with increased nutrientloading, nor did biomass-specific P-I parameters increase. Annualproduction ranged from 82 to 901 g C m2 year1and was highest in the highest nutrient treatment tank. Dailyproductivity ranged from 0.02 to 9.1 g C m2 day1and was significantly correlated, in all treatments, with acomposite parameter BI0/k (where B is phytoplankton biomass;I0 is daily radiation and k is the extinction coefficient).Linear regressions of Pd against BI0/k indicated that much ofthe variability (86%) in productivity was explained by lightavailability and phytoplankton biomass. Two approaches for predictingproductivity were compared: (i) predicting production directlyfrom environmental variables (i.e. BI0/k) and (ii) predictingthe parameters of the P-I curve from environmental variablesand using these to calculate daily production. 相似文献

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) varieties differed in their raponseto [K+]0, in terms of their utilization efficiencies (UE = freshweight. concentration of [K+]11). At low [K+]0, Compana,an efficient-non-responder demonstrated superior utilizationof absorbed K+. On the other hand, at high [K+]0, Fergus (anefficient responder) and BT 334 (an inefficient responder) hadhigher UE values for K+ than Compana which performed poorlyat this [K+]0. Kinetic parameters for K+ activation of the enzyme pyruvatekinase from 12 barley varieties, representing a range of UEvalues, were determined. Varieties showed substantial differencesin their Vmax values (P<0·01). Compana, an efficientvariety, had the highest Vmax (31 µmol g1 freshwt. h1) which was about 50% higher than that of Mingo,an inefficient variety. By contrast, Km values for the enzymeswere not significantly different among varieties The mean valuesfor all varieties (3·9±0·15 mol m3K+) is far below the estimated cytoplasmic [K+] (100-200 molm3). It is, therefore, unlikely that differences in theutilization of K+ by these varieties can be explained on thebasis of differential requirements for (K+) activation of theseenzymes. Alternative possibilities for differences in the utilizationof K+ are discussed. Key words: K+ utilization efficiency, Pyruvate kinase, Barley varieties 相似文献

The use of chlorate as an analogue for NO3 during nitrateuptake into Chara corallina cells has been investigated. NO3inhibits 36C1O3 influx into Chara over the concentrationrange 01000 mmol m3. Lineweaver-Burke plots ofthe data are characteristic of competitive inhibition by NO3in the low concentration range (0300 mmol m3 ClO3)and apparent KINO3 is 140 mmol m3 which is of a similarorder of magnitude as apparent KmCIO3- 180 mmol m3. Athigher substrate concentrations the inhibition by NO3was not characteristic of competitive or uncompetitive inhibition. 36C1O3/NO3 influx was dependent on K+ and Ca2+in the external medium and inhibited by FCCP. NO3 pretreatmentor N starvation increased subsequent 36C1O3/NO3influx into Chara. A comparison between rates of net NO3uptake and 36C1O3/NO3 influx supported the previoushypothesis that NO3 efflux is an important componentin the determination of overall uptake rates.

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) seedlings were grafted onto cucumber-(CG) or figleaf gourd- (FG, Cucurbita ficifolia Bouché)seedlings in order to determine the effect of solution temperature(12, 22, and 32°C) on the mineral composition of xylem sapand the plasma membrane K+-Mg++-ATPase activities of the roots.Low solution temperature (12°C) lowered the concentrationof NO3 and H2PO4 in xylem sap of CG plants butnot of FG plants. Concentrations of K+, Ca++ and Mg++ in xylemsap were less affected than anions by solution temperature.The plasma membrane of FG plants grown in 12°C solutiontemperature showed the highest K+- Mg++-ATPase activity at allATP concentrations up to 3 mM and at low reaction temperatureup to 12°C, indicating resistance of figleaf gourd to lowroot temperature.

To study possible changes in the transport metabolites betweenchloroplasts and cytoplasm during CAM induction of Mesembryanthemumcrystallinum, we compared substrate specificity of P11 translocator(s)in isolated chloroplasts from the C3 and CAM-induced plants.The [14C]glu-cose 6-phosphate (G6P) transport activity was significantonly in the chloroplasts of CAM-mode plants and not detectablein those of C3-mode, while a similar high rate of [32P]Pi uptakewas observed with both types of chloroplasts. Kinetic analysisof G6P uptake in the CAM chloroplasts showed a high Vmax [10.6µmol (mg Chl)1 h1] and a comparatively lowKm value (0.41 mM); the latter was similar to Ki values of Pi,3-phosphoglycerate and phospho-enolpyruvate, 0.30, 0.34 and0.47 mM, respectively. On the other hand, [32P]Pi uptake inthe CAM chloroplasts was inhibited competitively by G6P witha Ki value (8.4 mM) 20-fold higher than the Km value for G6Puptake, while that in C3 chloroplasts was not inhibited at all.These results suggest that a new G6P/Pi, counterexchange mechanismis induced in the chloroplast envelope of CAM-induced M. crystallinumin addition to the ordinary type of P, translocator, that cannottransport G6P, already present in the C3-type chloroplasts.

K+ channels participate in the regulatory volume decrease (RVD) accompanying hepatocellular nutrient uptake and bile formation. We recently identified KCNQ1 as a molecular candidate for a significant fraction of the hepatocellular swelling-activated K+ current (IKVol). We have shown that the KCNQ1 inhibitor chromanol 293B significantly inhibited RVD-associated K+ flux in isolated perfused rat liver and used patch-clamp techniques to define the signaling pathway linking swelling to IKVol activation. Patch-electrode dialysis of hepatocytes with solutions that maintain or increase phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) increased IKVol, whereas conditions that decrease cellular PIP2 decreased IKVol. GTP and AlF4 stimulated IKVol development, suggesting a role for G proteins and phospholipase C (PLC). Supporting this, the PLC blocker U-73122 decreased IKVol and inhibited the stimulatory response to PIP2 or GTP. Protein kinase C (PKC) is involved, because K+ current was enhanced by 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol and inhibited after chronic PKC stimulation with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) or the PKC inhibitor GF 109203X. Both IKVol and the accompanying membrane capacitance increase were blocked by cytochalasin D or GF 109203X. Acute PMA did not eliminate the cytochalasin D inhibition, suggesting that PKC-mediated IKVol activation involves the cytoskeleton. Under isotonic conditions, a slowly developing K+ current similar to IKVol was activated by PIP2, lipid phosphatase inhibitors to counter PIP2 depletion, a PLC-coupled 1-adrenoceptor agonist, or PKC activators and was depressed by PKC inhibition, suggesting that hypotonicity is one of a set of stimuli that can activate IKVol through a PIP2/PKC-dependent pathway. The results indicate that PIP2 indirectly activates hepatocellular KCNQ1-like channels via cytoskeletal rearrangement involving PKC activation.

A study was made of the incorporation of 14C by intact leavesof Coffea arabica (cultivars Mundo Novo, Catuai, 113013,and H 65862) and Coffea canephora (cultivar Guarini)supplied with gas mixtures containing 14CO2 under controlledconditions. Samples of the leaves were combusted and the 14Cin the CO2 produced measured using a liquid scintillation counter.The results were used to estimate photosynthetic rates. Theeffects of changing the partial pressures of O2 and CO2 on thephotosynthetic rate were studied and estimates made of the CO2compensation point and photorespiration. The data obtained show differences between the mean net photosyntheticrates of the C. arabica cultivars (6·14 mg CO2 dm2h1) and the mean rate for the C. canephora cultivar (3·96mg CO2 dm2 h1). The cultivar of the latter speciesphotorespired more rapidly than the cultivar Catuai of C. arabica.Rates of photosynthesis in coffee measured using the 14CO2 methodwere similar to rates obtained by others using an infrared gasanalyser. The 14CO2 method proved to be reliable for photosyntheticmeasurements and the apparatus is suitable for use in fieldconditions. 相似文献

Short-term (< 12 h) uptake experiments were conducted with67-week-old tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Ky 14)seedlings to determine absorption interactions between K+ andNH4+. At equal solution concentrations (0.5 mol m3) netK+ uptake was inhibited 3035% by NH4+ and NH4+ uptakewas decreased 924%. Removal of NH4+ resulted in completerecovery in K+ uptake rate, but NH4+ uptake rate did not recoverwhen K+ was removed. In both cases, inhibition of the uptakerate of one cation saturated as the concentration of the othercation was increased up to 0.5 mol m3. The relative effectof K+-NH4+ interactions was not altered when Cl- was replacedwith SO42, but the magnitudes of the uptake rates wereless in the absence of Cl-. The Vmax for NH4+ uptake was reducedfrom 128 to 105 µmol g1 dry wt. h1 in thepresence of 0.5 mol m3 K+ and the Km for NH4+ doubledfrom 12 to 27 mmol m3 in the presence of K+. The resultsof these K+-NH4+ experiments are interpreted as mixed-noncompetitiveinteractions. However, an enhanced efflux of K+ coupled to NH4+influx via an antiporter cannot be ruled out as contributingto the decrease in net K+ uptake.

Diurnal temperature fluctuations induced change in soya bean-pod[Glycine max (L.) Merr.] carbon exchange rate (CER, where positiveCER represents CO2 evolution). CER appeared to depend linearlyon temperature. Linear regressions of CER on temperature interceptedthe temperature axis at 5°C (i.e. zero CER at 5°C).Slopes of these regressions (i.e. temperature sensitivity) changedover the season. The CER-temperature sensitivity coefficient,K, (calculated from observed values of CER. pod temperatureand temperature intercept) rose from less than 0·02 mgCO2 h1 pod1 °C1 during early pod-flll,peaked at over 0·04 mg CO2 h1 pod1 °C1at mid pod-fill, and then declined during late pod-fill andmaturation.

A comparison of the activity and properties of the enzyme phosphoenolpyruvatecarboxylase (PEPC) was made for plants of Sedum telephium L.grown under low (70 µmol m2 s1) or high(500µmol m2 s1) PPFD and subjected to varyingdegrees of water stress. Under well-watered conditions onlyplants grown under high PPFD accumulated titratable acidityovernight and the extractable activity of PEPC was almost 2-foldhigher in these plants than in plants grown under low PPFD.Increasing drought stress resulted in a substantial increasein the activity of PEPC extracted both during the light anddark periods and a decrease in the sensitivity to inhibitionby malic acid. The magnitude of these changes was determinedby the severity and duration of drought and by light intensity.A comparison of the kinetic properties of PEPC from severelydroughted plants revealed that plants droughted under high PPFDhad a lower Km for PEP than plants under low PPFD. Additionof 2·0 mol m3 malate resulted in an increase inthe Km for PEP, with plants draughted under low PPFD havinga significantly higher Km in the presence of malic acid comparedto those under high PPFD. Response to the activator glc-6-P,which lowered the Km for PEP, also varied between plants grownunder the two light regimes. Under well-watered conditions PEPCextracted from plants under high PPFD was more sensitive toactivation by glc-6-P than those under low PPFD. After the severedrought treatment, however, the Km for PEP in the presence ofglc-6-P was similar for enzyme extracted from plants grown underboth light regimes. Soluble sugars and starch were depletedovernight and were both possible sources of substrate for PEPC.With increasing drought, however, the depletion of starch relativeto soluble sugars increased under both light regimes. The propertiesof PEPC and the characteristics of carbohydrate accumulation/depletionare discussed in relation to the regulation of CAM in S. telephiumgrown under different light and watering regimes.

Using carefully standardized test conditions and tandem pairsof cells of Nitella flexilis, the influx of 14C (added as H14CO3and transnodal transport were studied under various pressuregradients applied across the node up to P=± 2·5bar. When mannitol was used as the osmoticum, influx was foundto increase only when the mannitol solution was around the cellproximal to the feed. 14C was transported across the node tothe distal cell, probably as 14C-photosynthate products, evenagainst a pressure gradient of 2 bars or more, as was 36Cland 32P. The % transported in general decreased with increasingP, whether assisted or opposed by added pressure. It was unchangedby the presence of mannitol at the node and was essentiallythe same whether the pressure gradient was produced by directpressure or by use of the osmoticum. Transnodal transport of14C products is almost certainly via plasmodesmata and appearsto be largely by an active mechanism. In absolute amounts itis the same whether the pressure gradient assists or opposesflow. Valving is evident at the node, increasing the resistanceto transport as the pressure gradient increases whether 14C(asHCO3), 42K+ (as KCl), 36Cl (as NaCl) or 32P (asNa3PO4) are used to detect it. The mechanism of movement ofK+ across the node differs from that of photosynthate products. Key words: Node, plasmodesmata, pressure gradients, active transport 相似文献

The lacustrine blue-green alga (= Cyanobacterium) Oscillatoriarubescens D.C. was cultured in chemostats with temperature andlight intensity as the only limiting factors. The experimentswere carried out under combinations of three temperatures 10,20 and 30°C and three irradiances 6, 18 and 30 µEm2 s1. Dilution rate, photosynthesis rate anda large number of abiotic and cellular factors were regularlymeasured to determine steady-state periods and the level ofthe associated variables. Various mathematical models were fittedwith series of data by a non-linear regression method derivedfrom Marquardt's method. Four models for calculation of specificgrowth rate and photosynthesis rate are presented. The lastone computes growth rate from calculated photosynthesis: µ= µmax pmaxI/[KpKi + I(Kp + Pmax)], with Pmax =100 + 257Tand K1 = 300/chl a. Values of adjusted parameters are discussed.One conclusion confirms that values of maximal growth ratesand half-saturation constants frequently considered in the literatureas absolute species characteristics should always be consideredas relative to associated prevalent growth conditions. 相似文献

The catalytic and regulatory properties of phosphoenolpyruvate(PEP) carboxylase (PEPC) are modulated remarkably by the increasein the level of bicarbonate in the assay medium. The activityof PEPC increased by two-fold as the concentration of bicarbonatewas raised from 0.05 to 10 mM. During this state, there wasonly marginal effect on Km for PEP, while the affinity of PEPCto Mg2+ increased by >2 fold. In contrast, the sensitivityof PEPC to malate decreased with increasing concentration ofHCO3. Similarly, the stimulation by glucose 6-phosphate(G-6-P) at optimal concentration (10 mM) of HCO3 wasmuch less than that at suboptimal concentration (0.05 mM). K1for malate increased by about 3 fold and Ka for G-6-P risedby fourfold as bicarbonate concentration was rised from 0.05to 10 mM. These results suggest that HCO3 desensitizesPEPC to both malate and G-6-P. Further, these changes were manifestedin both dark- as well as light-forms of the enzyme. Similarresults were obtained with PEPC in leaf extracts or in purifiedform. We therefore propose that bicarbonate-induced changesare independent of phospho-rylation and possibly through a significantchange in the conformation of the enzyme. This is the firstdetailed report indicating marked modulation of regulatory andcatalytic properties of PEPC by bicarbonate, one of its substrate.

K+ channel KVLQT1 located in the basolateral membrane of distal colonic epithelium is not essential for activating Cl- secretion 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The cellular mechanism for Cl and K+ secretion in the colonic epithelium requires K+ channels in the basolateral and apical membranes. Colonic mucosa from guinea pig and rat were fixed, sectioned, and then probed with antibodies to the K+ channel proteins KVLQT1 (Kcnq1) and minK-related peptide 2 (MiRP2, Kcne3). Immunofluorescence labeling for Kcnq1 was most prominent in the lateral membrane of crypt cells in rat colon. The guinea pig distal colon had distinct lateral membrane immunoreactivity for Kcnq1 in crypt and surface cells. In addition, Kcne3, an auxiliary subunit for Kcnq1, was detected in the lateral membrane of crypt and surface cells in guinea pig distal colon. Transepithelial short-circuit current (Isc) and transepithelial conductance (Gt) were measured for colonic mucosa during secretory activation by epinephrine (EPI), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), and carbachol (CCh). HMR1556 (10 µM), an inhibitor of Kcnq1 channels (Gerlach U, Brendel J, Lang HJ, Paulus EF, Weidmann K, Brüggemann A, Busch A, Suessbrich H, Bleich M, and Greger R. J Med Chem 44: 38313837, 2001), partially (50%) inhibited Cl secretory Isc and Gt activated by PGE2 and CCh in rat colon with an IC50 of 55 nM, but in guinea pig distal colon Cl secretory Isc and Gt were unaltered. EPI-activated K+-secretory Isc and Gt also were essentially unaltered by HMR1556 in both rat and guinea pig colon. Although immunofluorescence labeling with a Kcnq1 antibody supported the basolateral membrane presence in colonic epithelium of the guinea pig as well as the rat, the Kcnq1 K+ channel is not an essential component for producing Cl secretion. Other K+ channels present in the basolateral membrane presumably must also contribute directly to the K+ conductance necessary for K+ exit during activation of Cl secretion in the colonic mucosa.
