Divalent Metal Transporter 1 (DMT1) is an apical Fe transporter in the duodenum and is involved in endosomal Fe export. Four protein isoforms have been described for DMT1, two from mRNA with an iron responsive element (IRE) and two from mRNA without it. The sets of two begin in exon 1A or 2. We have characterized copper transport using mouse 2/?IRE DMT1 during regulated ectopic expression. HEK293 cells carrying a TetR:Hyg element were stably transfected with pDEST31 containing a 2/?IRE construct. 64Cu1+ incorporation in doxycycline treated cells exhibited 18.6 and 30.0-fold increases in Cu content, respectively when were exposed to 10 and 100 μM of extracellular Cu. Cu content was ~4-fold above that of parent cells or cells carrying just the vector. 64Cu uptake in transfected cells pre-incubated with 5 μM of Cu-His revealed a Vmax and Km of 11.98 ± 0.52 pmol mg protein?1 min?1 and 2.03 ± 0.03 μM, respectively. Doxycycline-stimulated Cu uptake was linear with time. The rates of apical Cu uptake decreased and transepithelial transport increased when intracellular Cu increased. The optimal pH for Cu transport was 6.5; uptake of Cu was temperature dependent. Silver does not inhibit Cu uptake in cells carrying the vector. In conclusion, Cu uptake in HEK293 cells that over-expressed the 2/?IRE isoform of DMT1 transporter supports our earlier contention that DMT1 transports Cu as Cu1+. 相似文献

Divalent metal transporter #1 (DMT1) is responsible for intestinal nonheme Fe apical uptake. However, DMT1 appears to have an additional function in Cu transport in intestinal cells. Because the liver has an essential role in body Cu homeostasis, we examined the potential involvement of Cu in the regulation of DMT1 expression and activity in Hep-G2 cells. Cells exposed to 10 microM Cu exhibited a 22-fold increase in Cu content and a twofold decrease in Fe content compared with cells maintained in 0.4 microM Cu. (64)Cu uptake in Cu-deficient Hep-G2 cells showed a twofold decrease in K(m) compared with cells grown in 10 microM Cu. The decreased K(m) may represent an adaptive response to Cu deficiency. Cells treated with >50 microM Cu, showed an eightfold increase in cytosolic metallothionein. DMT1 protein decreased (35%), suggesting that intracellular Cu caused a reduction of DMT1 protein levels. Our data indicate that, as a result of Cu overload, Hep-G2 cells reduced their Fe content and their DMT1 protein levels. These findings strongly suggest a relationship between Cu and Fe homeostasis in Hep-G2 cells in which Cu accumulation downregulates DMT1 activity. 相似文献

xCT, the core subunit of the system x(c)(-) high affinity cystine transporter, belongs to a superfamily of glycoprotein-associated amino acid transporters. Although xCT was shown to promote cystine transport in Xenopus oocytes, little work has been done with mammalian cells (Sato, H., Tamba, M., Ishii, T., and Bannai, S. J. Biol. Chem. 274, 11455-11458, 1999). Therefore, we have constructed mammalian expression vectors for murine xCT and its accessory subunit 4F2hc and transfected them into HEK293 cells. We report that this transporter binds cystine with high affinity (81 microM) and displays a pharmacological profile expected for system x(c)(-). Surprisingly, xCT transport activity in HEK293 cells is not dependent on the co-expression of the exogenous 4F2hc. Expression of GFP-tagged xCT indicated a highly clustered plasma membrane and intracellular distribution suggesting the presence of subcellular domains associated with combating oxidative stress. Our results indicate that HEK293 cells transfected with the xCT subunit would be a useful vehicle for future structure-function and pharmacology experiments involving system x(c)(-). 相似文献

DMT1 (divalent metal transporter 1) is ahydrogen-coupled divalent metal transporter with a substrate preferencefor iron, although the protein when expressed in frog oocytestransports a broad range of metals, including the toxic metals cadmiumand lead. Wild-type Caco-2 cells displayed saturable transport of leadand iron that was stimulated by acid. Cadmium and manganese inhibitedtransport of iron, but zinc and lead did not. The involvement of DMT1in the transport of toxic metals was examined by establishing clonalDMT1 knockdown and control Caco-2 cell lines. Knockdown cell linesdisplayed much lower levels of DMT1 mRNA and a smaller Vmax for iron uptake compared with control celllines. One clone was further characterized and found to display an~50% reduction in uptake of iron across a pH range from 5.5 to 7.4. Uptake for cadmium also decreased 50% across the same pH range, butuptake for lead did not. These results show that DMT1 is important in iron and cadmium transport in Caco-2 cells but that lead enters thesecells through an independent hydrogen-driven mechanism. 相似文献

DMT1: which metals does it transport? 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

DMT1-Divalent Metal (Ion) Transporter 1 or SLC11A2/DCT1/Nramp2 - transports Fe2+ into the duodenum and out of the endosome during the transferrin cycle. DMTI also is important in non-transferrin bound iron uptake. It plays similar roles in Mn2+ trafficking. Voltage clamping showed that six other metals evoked currents, but it is unclear if these metals are substrates for DMT1. This report summarizes progress on which metals DMT1 transports, focusing on results from the authors' labs. We recently cloned 1A/+IRE and 2/-IRE DMT1 isoforms to generate HEK293 cell lines that express them in a tetracycline-inducible fashion, then compared induced expression to uninduced expression and to endogenous DMT1 expression. Induced expression increases approximately 50x over endogenous expression and approximately 10x over uninduced levels. Fe2+, Mn2+, Ni2+ and Cu1+ or Cu2+ are transported. We also explored competition between metal ions using this system because incorporation essentially represents DMT1 transport and find this order for transport affinity: Mn>?Cd>?Fe>Pb-Co-Ni>Zn. The effects of decreased DMT1 also could be examined. The Belgrade rat has diminished DMT1 function and thus provides ways of testing. A series of DNA constructs that generate siRNAs specific for DMT1 or certain DMT1 isoforms yield another way to test DMT1-based transport. 相似文献

The low-affinity cation transporter (LCT1) from wheat (Triticum aestivum) was expressed in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris and its transport characteristics studied employing Ca(45) and Cd(109). A clone (LCT1#3) with the highest uptake of 14pmol of Ca/10(6)cells/10min when exposed to 100microM Ca(45) was chosen for further Ca(45) and Cd(109) transport characteristics. We report for the first time a K(m) for Ca by LCT1 of 0.43+/-0.15mM Ca activity which confirms LCT1 to be a low affinity transporter. Interestingly, the expression of LCT1 in Pichia resulted in reduced Cd(109) uptake compared to wild type cells, when cells were exposed to >or=60microM Cd. This is the first report of the ability of a heterologously expressed transporter to reduce the activity of endogenous transporter proteins to transport Cd. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of functional expression of a plant ion transporter using P. pastoris. 相似文献

Three mechanisms of iron uptake by rat erythroid cells were identified, two with non-transferrin-bound iron (NTBI) and one with transferrin-bound iron (Fe-Tf). Uptake of NTBI occurred by a high affinity mechanism (K(m) approximately 0.1 microM). Activity of the high affinity mechanism was maximal in sucrose solution and of the low affinity mechanism in KCl solution. Both were inhibited by NaCl and by certain ion transport inhibitors, but they differed in their sensitivity to the various inhibitors. Fe-Tf uptake was also of high affinity (K(m) 0.1 microM). All the transport mechanisms show higher activity in reticulocytes than in mature erythrocytes, and all could provide iron for heme synthesis in reticulocytes. The results demonstrate certain conditions which should be followed in order to study high affinity transport of NTBI. These include use of a low packed cell volume in the incubation mixture, low iron concentrations (0.01-1.0 microM), short incubation times (up to 20 min), and low osmolality (approximately 200 mOsm/kg) during incubation with the NTBI and subsequent washing of the cells. 相似文献

The influence of copper status on Caco-2 cell apical iron uptake and transepithelial transport was examined. Cells grown for 7-8 days in media supplemented with 1 microM CuCl(2) had 10-fold higher cellular levels of copper compared with control. Copper supplementation did not affect the integrity of differentiated Caco-2 cell monolayers grown on microporous membranes. Copper-repleted cells displayed increased uptake of iron as well as increased transport of iron across the cell monolayer. Northern blot analysis revealed that expression of the apical iron transporter divalent metal transporter-1 (DMT1), the basolateral transporter ferroportin-1 (Fpn1), and the putative ferroxidase hephaestin (Heph) was upregulated by copper supplementation, whereas the recently identified ferrireductase duodenal cytochrome b (Dcytb) was not. These results suggest that DMT1, Fpn1, and Heph are involved in the iron uptake process modulated by copper status. Although a clear role for Dcytb was not identified, an apical surface ferrireductase was modulated by copper status, suggesting that its function also contributes to the enhanced iron uptake by copper-repleted cells. A model is proposed wherein copper promotes iron depletion of intestinal Caco-2 cells, creating a deficiency state that induces upregulation of iron transport factors. 相似文献

Identification and characterisation of high affinity nucleoside and nucleobase transporters in Toxoplasma gondii 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii depends upon salvaging the purines that it requires. We have re-analysed purine transport in T. gondii and identified novel nucleoside and nucleobase transporters. The latter transports hypoxanthine (TgNBT1; K(m)=0.91+/-0.19 microM) and is inhibited by guanine and xanthine: it is the first high affinity nucleobase transporter to be identified in an apicomplexan parasite. The previously reported nucleoside transporter, TgAT1, is low affinity with K(m) values of 105 and 134 microM for adenosine and inosine, respectively. We have now identified a second nucleoside transporter, TgAT2, which is high affinity and inhibited by adenosine, inosine, guanosine, uridine and thymidine (K(m) values 0.28-1.5 microM) as well as cytidine (K(i)=32 microM). TgAT2 also recognises several nucleoside analogues with therapeutic potential. We have investigated the basis for the broad specificity of TgAT2 and found that hydrogen bonds are formed with the 3' and 5' hydroxyl groups and that the base groups are bound through H-bonds with either N3 of the purine ring or N(3)H of the pyrimidine ring, and most probably pi-pi-stacking as well. The identification of these high affinity purine nucleobase and nucleoside transporters reconciles for the first time the low abundance of free nucleosides and nucleobases in the intracellular environment with the efficient purine salvage carried out by T. gondii. 相似文献

Functional properties of transfected human DMT1 iron transporter 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Recently, mutation of the DMT1 gene has been discovered to cause ineffective intestinal iron uptake and abnormal body iron metabolism in the anemic Belgrade rat and mk mouse. DMT1 transports first-series transition metals, but only iron turns on an inward proton current. The process of iron transport was studied by transfection of human DMT1 into the COS-7 cell line. Native and epitope-tagged human DMT1 led to increased iron uptake. The human gene with the Belgrade rat mutation was found to have one-fifth of the activity of the wild-type protein. The pH optimum of human DMT1 iron uptake was 6.75, which is equivalent to the pH of the duodenal brush border. The transporter demonstrates uptake without saturation from 0 to 50 microM iron, recapitulating earlier studies of isolated intestinal enterocytes. Diethylpyrocarbonate inhibition of iron uptake in DMT1-transfected cells suggests a functional role for histidine residues. Finally, a model is presented that incorporates the selectivity of the DMT1 transporter for transition metals and a potential role for the inward proton current. 相似文献

Here, we report the application of glutamate concentration jumps and voltage jumps to determine the kinetics of rapid reaction steps of excitatory amino acid transporter subtype 4 (EAAT4) with a 100-micros time resolution. EAAT4 was expressed in HEK293 cells, and the electrogenic transport and anion currents were measured using the patch-clamp method. At steady state, EAAT4 was activated by glutamate and Na+ with high affinities of 0.6 microM and 8.4 mM, respectively, and showed kinetics consistent with sequential binding of Na(+)-glutamate-Na+. The steady-state cycle time of EAAT4 was estimated to be >300 ms (at -90 mV). Applying step changes to the transmembrane potential, V(m), of EAAT4-expressing cells resulted in the generation of transient anion currents (decaying with a tau of approximately 15 ms), indicating inhibition of steady-state EAAT4 activity at negative voltages (<-40 mV) and activation at positive V(m) (>0 mV). A similar inhibitory effect at V(m) < 0 mV was seen when the electrogenic glutamate transport current was monitored, resulting in a bell-shaped I-V(m) curve. Jumping the glutamate concentration to 100 muM generated biphasic, saturable transient transport and anion currents (K(m) approximately 5 microM) that decayed within 100 ms, indicating the existence of two separate electrogenic reaction steps. The fast electrogenic reaction was assigned to Na+ binding to EAAT4, whereas the second reaction is most likely associated with glutamate translocation. Together, these results suggest that glutamate uptake of EAAT4 is based on the same molecular mechanism as transport by the subtypes EAATs 1-3, but that its kinetics and voltage dependence are dramatically different from the other subtypes. EAAT4 kinetics appear to be optimized for high affinity binding of glutamate, but not rapid turnover. Therefore, we propose that EAAT4 is a high-affinity/low-capacity transport system, supplementing low-affinity/high-capacity synaptic glutamate uptake by the other subtypes. 相似文献

Nucleoside and nucleobase transporters are important for salvage of purines and pyrimidines and for transport of their analog drugs into cells. However, the pathways for nucleobase translocation in mammalian cells are not well characterized. We identified an Na-independent purine-selective nucleobase/nucleoside transport system in the nucleoside transporter-deficient PK15NTD cells. This transport system has 1,000-fold higher affinity for nucleobases than nucleosides with K(m) values of 2.5 +/- 0.7 microM for [(3)H]adenine, 6.4 +/- 0.5 microM for [(3)H]guanine, 1.1 +/- 0.1 mM for [(3)H]guanosine, and 4.2 +/- 0.5 mM [(3)H]adenosine. The uptake of [(3)H]guanine (0.05 microM) was inhibited by other nucleobases and nucleobase analog drugs (at 0.5-1 mM in the order of potency): 6-mercaptopurine = thioguanine = guanine > adenine > thymine = fluorouracil = uracil. Cytosine and methylcytosine had no effect. Nucleoside analog drugs with modification at 2' and/or 5 positions (all at 1 mM) were more potent than adenosine in competing the uptake of [(3)H]guanine: 2-chloro-2'-deoxyadenosine > 2-chloroadenosine > 2'3'-dideoxyadenosine = 2'-deoxyadenosine > 5-deoxyadenosine > adenosine. 2-Chloro-2'-deoxyadenosine and 2-chloroadenosine inhibited [(3)H]guanine uptake with IC(50) values of 68 +/- 5 and 99 +/- 10 microM, respectively. The nucleobase/nucleoside transporter was resistant to nitrobenzylthioinosine {6-[(4-nitrobenzyl) thiol]-9-beta-D-ribofuranosylpurine}, dipyridamole, and dilazep, but was inhibited by papaverine, the organic cation transporter inhibitor decynium-22 (IC(50) of approximately 1 microM), and by acidic pH (pH = 5.5). In conclusion, we have identified a mammalian purine-selective nucleobase/nucleoside transporter with high affinity for purine nucleobases. This transporter is potentially important for transporting naturally occurring purines and purine analog drugs into cells. 相似文献

We tested the hypothesis that oxidative stress and biological effect after ozone (O3) exposure are dependent on changes in iron homeostasis. After O3 exposure, healthy volunteers demonstrated increased lavage concentrations of iron, transferrin, lactoferrin, and ferritin. In normal rats, alterations of iron metabolism after O3 exposure were immediate and preceded the inflammatory influx. To test for participation of this disruption in iron homeostasis in lung injury following O3 inhalation, we exposed Belgrade rats, which are functionally deficient in divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) as a means of iron uptake, and controls to O3. Iron homeostasis was disrupted to a greater extent and the extent of injury was greater in Belgrade rats than in control rats. Nonheme iron and ferritin concentrations were higher in human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells exposed to O3 than in HBE cells exposed to filtered air. Aldehyde generation and IL-8 release by the HBE cells was also elevated following O3 exposure. Human embryonic kidney (HEK 293) cells with elevated expression of a DMT1 construct were exposed to filtered air and O3. With exposure to O3, elevated DMT1 expression diminished oxidative stress (i.e., aldehyde generation) and IL-8 release. We conclude that iron participates critically in the oxidative stress and biological effects after O3 exposure. 相似文献

Distinct targeting and recycling properties of two isoforms of the iron transporter DMT1 (NRAMP2, Slc11A2) 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The metal transporter DMT1 (Slc11a2) plays a vital role in iron metabolism. Alternative splicing of the 3' exon generates two DMT1 isoforms with different C-terminal protein sequences and a 3' untranslated region harboring (isoform I, +IRE) or not (isoform II, -IRE), an iron-responsive element. Isoform I is expressed at the plasma membrane of certain epithelial cells including the duodenum brush border, where it is essential for the absorption of nutritional iron. Isoform II is expressed in many cells and is essential for the acquisiton of transferrin iron from acidified endosomes. The targeting and trafficking properties of DMT1 isoforms I and II were studied in transfected LLC-PK(1) kidney cells, with respect to isoform-specific differences in function, subcellular localization, endocytosis kinetics, and fate upon internalization. Isoform I showed higher surface expression and was internalized from the plasma membrane with slower kinetics than that of isoform II. As opposed to isoform II, which is efficiently sorted to recycling endosomes upon internalization, isoform I was not efficiently recycled and was targeted to lysosomes. Thus, alternative splicing of DMT1 critically regulates the subcellular localization and site of Fe(2+) transport. 相似文献

The divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) is essential for cellular uptake of iron, mediating iron absorption across the duodenal brush border membrane. We have previously shown that with iron feeding DMT1 in the brush border membrane undergoes endocytosis into the subapical compartment of enterocytes. To understand the mechanisms of iron-induced endocytosis of DMT1, we used the yeast two-hybrid system to find proteins that interact with DMT1 and isolated from a rat duodenal cDNA library a protein that interacts specifically with the IRE containing isoform of DMT1 {DMT1 [iron-responsive element (IRE)]}. The protein (Genbank AY336075) is 97.5% identical with peripheral benzodiazepine receptor-associated protein 7 (PAP7), a protein that interacts with the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor. PAP7 is ubiquitously expressed in the rat and in multiple cell lines with consensus sequences including a nuclear localization signal and a Golgi dynamic domain. PAP7, expressed on the brush border of rat duodenum, copurified with DMT1 in brush border membrane vesicles, and following iron feeding, was internalized in parallel with the internalization of DMT1. To determine if PAP7 plays a role in cellular iron metabolism, we downregulated PAP7 expression in K562 cells with small interfering RNA. Following the decrease in PAP7 protein, DMT1 (IRE) protein but not mRNA was significantly downregulated but without effect on DMT1 (non-IRE), transferin (Tf)R1, or ferritin expression. Lowered levels of PAP7 resulted also in decreased cell proliferation and G(1) cell cycle arrest. These data are consistent with PAP7 interacting with DMT1 (IRE) and regulating DMT1 (IRE) expression in K562 cells by modulating expression of DMT1 (IRE) protein. 相似文献

Characterization of the blood-brain barrier choline transporter using the in situ rat brain perfusion technique 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Choline enters brain by saturable transport at the blood-brain barrier (BBB). In separate studies, both sodium-dependent and passive choline transport systems of differing affinity have been reported at brain capillary endothelial cells. In the present study, we re-examined brain choline uptake using the in situ rat brain perfusion technique. Saturable brain choline uptake from perfusion fluid was best described by a model with a single transporter (V:(max) = 2.4-3.1 nmol/min/g; K(m) = 39-42 microM) with an apparent affinity (1/Km)) for choline five to ten-fold greater than previously reported in vivo, but less than neuronal 'high-affinity' brain choline transport (K(m) = 1-5 microM). BBB choline uptake from a sodium-free perfusion fluid using sucrose for osmotic balance was 50% greater than in the presence of sodium suggesting that sodium is not required for transport. Hemicholinium-3 inhibited brain choline uptake with a K(i) (57 +/- 11 microM) greater than that at the neuronal choline system. In summary, BBB choline transport occurs with greater affinity than previously reported, but does not match the properties of the neuronal choline transporter. The V:(max) of this system is appreciable and may provide a mechanism for delivering cationic drugs to brain. 相似文献
