Interaction of H+ and K+ transport systems in E. coli growing under anaerobic and aerobic conditions
The interaction of H+-ATPase complex F1 X F0 with the Trk system of K+ accumulation in E. coli grown quasi-anaerobically in pepton media with glucose (anaerobia) and aerobically in the salt medium with succinate (aerobia) treated with cyanide was studied. The ratio of H+ fluxes via F1 X F0 and K+ fluxes via the Trk system is stable and equals 2 in anaerobia and is changed from 0.5 to 5.0 in aerobia treated with cyanide in response to pH variation, K+ activity and temperature variations. Q10 is about 2.8 both for F1 X F0 and the Trk system in anaerobia, but 2.4 and 1.0 respectively in aerobia. K+ distribution in anaerobia reaches high values, K+ equilibrium potential is much higher than the measured membrane potential. K+ distribution in aerobia is smaller, which is in conformity with the measured membrane potential. Structural association of F1 X F0 and the Trk system with the formation of H+--K+-pump is assumed to take place in anaerobia, and separate operation of these systems occurs in aerobia, transfer of K+ via Trk system being energized by the electric field on the membrane. 相似文献

Cells of Bacillus acidocaldarius that were grown with 2.7 mM K+ expressed a low-affinity K+ uptake system. The following observations indicate that its properties closely resemble those of the Escherichia coli Trk and Streptococcus faecalis KtrI systems: (i) the B. acidocaldarius system took up K+ with a Km of 1 mM; (ii) it accepted Rb+ (Km of 6 mM; same Vmax as for K+); (iii) it was still active in the presence of low concentrations of sodium; (iv) the observed accumulation ratio of K+ maintained by metabolizing cells was consistent with K+ being taken up via a K+-H+ symporter; and (v) K+ uptake did not occur in cells in which the ATP level was low. Under the latter conditions, the cells still took up methylammonium ions via a system that was derepressed by growth with low levels of ammonium ions, indicating that in the acidophile ammonium (methylammonium) uptake requires a high transmembrane proton motive force rather than ATP. 相似文献

The corrected sequence of the trkH gene of Escherichia coli predicts that the TrkH protein is a hydrophobic membrane protein of 483 amino acid residues, of which 41% are identical to those of the homologous and functionally analogous TrkG protein. These two proteins form the transmembrane component of the Trk system for the uptake of K+. Each protein alone is sufficient for high-level Trk activity. When Trk is assembled with the TrkG protein, Rb+ and K+ are transported with a Km near or below 1 mM; however, the Vmax for Rb+ is only about 7% of that for K+. When Trk is formed with TrkH, the affinities for both for K+ and Rb+ are somewhat lower, and the Vmax for Rb+ is only 1% of that for K+ transport. The kinetics of transport in strains with wild-type alleles at trkG and at trkH suggest that both products participate in transport. 相似文献

Plasma membrane vesicles isolated from rat liver exhibited an azide-insensitive Mg2+-ATP-dependent Ca2+ pump which accumulated Ca2+ at a rate of 5.1 +/- 0.5 nmol of calcium/mg of protein/min and reached a total accumulation of 33.2 +/- 2.6 nmol of calcium/mg of protein in 20 microM Ca2+ at 37 degrees C. Equiosmotic addition of 50 mM Na+ resulted in a loss of accumulated calcium. Measurement of Mg2+-ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake in the presence of 50 mM Na+ revealed no effect of Na+ on the initial rate of Ca2+ uptake, but a decrease in the total accumulation. The half-maximal effect of Na+ on Ca2+ accumulation was achieved at 14 mM. The Ca2+ efflux rate constant in the absence of Na+ was 0.16 +/- 0.01 min-1, whereas the efflux rate constant in the presence of 50 mM Na+ was 0.25 +/- 0.02 min-1. Liver homogenate sedimentation fractions from 1,500 to 105,000 X g were assayed for azide-insensitive Mg2+-ATP-dependent Ca2+ accumulation. Na+-sensitive Ca2+ uptake activity was found to specifically co-sediment with the plasma membrane-associated enzymes, 5'-nucleotidase and Na+/K+-ATPase, whereas Na+-insensitive Ca2+ uptake was found to co-sediment with the endoplasmic reticulum-associated enzyme, glucose-6-phosphatase. The plasma membrane Ca2+ pump was also distinguished from the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump by its sensitivity to inhibition by vanadate. Half-maximal inhibition of plasma membrane Ca2+ uptake occurred at 0.8 microM VO4(3-), whereas half-maximal inhibition of microsomal Ca2+ uptake occurred at 40 microM. 相似文献

Pathways for transport of dicarboxylic acid metabolites by human placental epithelia were investigated using apical membrane vesicles isolated by divalent cation precipitation. The presence of Na+/dicarboxylate cotransport was assessed directly by [14C]succinate tracer flux measurements and indirectly by fluorescence determinations of voltage sensitive dye responses. The imposition of an inwardly directed Na+ gradient stimulated vesicle uptake of succinate achieving levels approximately 5-fold greater than those observed at equilibrium. The increased succinate uptake was specific for Na+ as no stimulation was observed in the presence of Li+, K+ or choline+ gradients. In addition to concentrative accumulation of succinate, a direct coupling of Na+/succinate cotransport was suggested by the absence of a sizeable conductive pathway for succinate uptake and decreased succinate uptake levels associated with a more rapid decay of an imposed Na+ gradient. Na+ gradient-driven succinate uptake was not the result of parallel Na+/H+ and succinate/OH- exchange activities but was reduced by the Na+-coupled inhibitor harmaline. The voltage sensitivity of Na+ gradient-driven succinate uptake suggests Na+/succinate cotransport is electrogenic occurring with net transfer of positive charge. Substrate-specificity studies suggest the tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates as candidates for transport by the Na+-coupled pathway. Decreasing pH increased the citrate-induced inhibition of succinate uptake suggesting divalent citrate as the preferred substrate for transport. Initial rate determinations of succinate uptake indicate succinate interacts with a single saturable site (Km 33 microM) with a maximal transport rate of 0.5 nmol/mg per min. 相似文献

The mechanism of pantothenate transport into rabbit renal brush-border membrane vesicles was studied. Under voltage-clamped conditions, an inward NaCl gradient induced the transient accumulation of pantothenate against its concentration gradient, indicating Na+/pantothenate cotransport. K+, Rb+, Li+, NH4+, and choline+ were ineffective in replacing Na+. Pantothenate analogs, D-glucose, and various carboxylic acids did not inhibit Na+-dependent pantothenate transport, suggesting that this system is specific for pantothenate. Kinetic analysis of the Na+-dependent pantothenate uptake revealed a single transport system which obeyed Michaelis-Menten kinetics (Km = 16 microM and Vmax = 6.7 pmol X mg-1 X 10 s-1). Imposition of an inside-negative membrane potential caused net uphill pantothenate accumulation in the presence of Na+ but absence of a Na+ gradient, indicating that Na+/pantothenate cotransport is electrogenic. The relationship between extravesicular Na+ concentration and pantothenate transport measured under voltage-clamped conditions was sigmoidal: a Hill coefficient (napp) of 2 and a [Na+]0.5 of 55 mM were calculated. It is suggested that an anionic pantothenate1- molecule is cotransported with two Na+ to give a net charge of +1. The coupling of pantothenate transport to the Na+ electrochemical gradient may provide an efficient mechanism for reabsorption of pantothenate in the kidney. 相似文献

Transport of K+ and H+ in the anaeronically and aerobically grown bacterium Serratia marcescens has been studied. The volumes of one cell of the anaerobically and aerobically grown bacterium were 3.7 X 10(-13) cm3 and 2.4 X 10(-13) cm3, respectively. Irrespective of the growth conditions the bacteria manifested the same respiration rate. However, the values of membrane potential for the anaerobically and aerobically grown bacterium were different and equal to -130 mV and -175 mV (interior negative), respectively, in the absence of an exogenic energy source. KCN + DCCD decreases delta psi down to almost zero in both species. DCCD alone decreases delta psi partially in anaerobes and increases delta psi in aerobes, whereas KCN alone reduces delta psi partially in both species. The introduction of glucose into the medium containing K+ reduces the absolute value of delta psi to [-160] mV in aerobes and to [-20] mV in anaerobes. The effect is not observed without external K+. In the presence of arsenate a delta psi is not reduced after the addition of glucose. At pH 7.5-7.8 the ATP level in aerobes grows notably faster than in anaerobes. The H+ extrusion becomes intensified when K+ uptake is activated by the increase in external osmotic pressure. Apparent Km and Vmax for K+ accumulation are 1.2 mM and 0.4 mM.min-1.g-1. The decrease of delta psi by glucose or KCN + DCCD have no effect on the K+ uptake whereas CCCP inhibits potassium accumulation. At the same time, arsenate stabilizes the delta psi value, but blocks K+ uptake. The accumulation of K+ correlates with the potassium equilibrium potential of -200 mV calculated according to the Nernst equation, whereas the delta psi measured was not more than [-25] mV. The calculated H+/ATP stoichiometry was 3.3 for aerobes. It was assumed that a constitutive K+ pump having a K+/ATP ratio equal to 2 or 3 operates in S. marcescens membranes. 相似文献

1. The cytoplasmic membrane ionic current of cells of Rhodobacter capsulatus, washed to lower the endogenous K+ concentration, had a non-linear dependence on the membrane potential measured during photosynthetic illumination. Treatment of the cells with venturicidin, an inhibitor of the H(+)-ATP synthase, increased the membrane potential and decreased the membrane ionic current at values of membrane potential below a threshold. 2. The addition of K+ or Rb+, but not of Na+, led to an increase in the membrane ionic current and a decrease in the membrane potential in either the presence or absence of venturicidin. Approximately 0.4 mM K+ or 2.0 mM Rb+ led to a half-maximal response. At saturating concentrations of K+ and Rb+, the membrane ionic currents were similar. The membrane ionic currents due to K+ and Rb+ were not additive. The K(+)-dependent and Rb(+)-dependent ionic currents had a non-linear relationship with membrane potential: the alkali cations only increased the ionic current when the membrane potential lay above a threshold value. The presence of 1 mM Cs+ did not lead to an increase in the membrane ionic current but it had the effect of inhibiting the membrane ionic current due to either K+ or Rb+. 3. Photosynthetic illumination in the presence of either K+ or Rb+, and weak acids such as acetate, led to a decrease in light-scattering by the cells. This was attributed to the uptake of potassium or rubidium acetate and a corresponding increase in osmotic strength in the cytoplasm. 4. The addition of NH4+ also led to an increase in membrane ionic current and to a decrease in membrane potential (half-maximal at 2.0 mM NH4+). The relationship between the NH4(+)-dependent ionic currents and the membrane potential was similar to that for K+. The NH4(+)-dependent and K(+)-dependent ionic current were not additive. However, illumination in the presence of NH4+ and acetate did not lead to significant light-scattering changes. The NH4(+)-dependent membrane ionic current was inhibited by 1 mM Cs+ but not by 50 microM methylamine. 5. It is proposed that the K(+)-dependent membrane ionic current is catalysed by a low-affinity K(+)-transport system such as that described in Rb. capsulatus [Jasper, P. (1978) J. Bacteriol. 133, 1314-1322]. The possibility is considered that, as well as Rb+, this transport system can also operate with NH4+. However, in our experimental conditions NH4+ uptake is followed by NH3 efflux.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Characterization of ammonium (methylammonium)/potassium antiport in Escherichia coli 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The energetics of ammonium ion transport by Escherichia coli have been studied using [14C]methylammonium as a substrate. Rapid assays for uptake allowed kinetic parameters (CH3NH3+ Km = 36 microM; Vmax = 4 nmol X s-1 X mg-1 to be determined in the absence of CH3NH3+ metabolism. Cells cultured in media containing 1 mM NH4+ failed to express CH3NH3+ transport activity. Methylammonium accumulated at levels which were 100-fold higher than those of the medium. This accumulation was dependent upon the addition of glucose or pyruvate. The entry of CH3NH3+ supported by glucose oxidation in an F1F0-ATPase-deficient mutant was blocked by uncoupler. Transport by wild-type cells under similar conditions was significantly inhibited by arsenate. Thus, CH3NH3+ uptake requires both ATP and an electrochemical H+ gradient. This transport activity was lost upon exposure of E. coli to osmotic shock, but could be recovered by incubation of shocked cells with boiled shock fluid or with glucose plus K+ in the presence of chloramphenicol. Similar reconstitution was observed in K+-depleted parental strains, but not in a mutant defective in K+ transport, demonstrating a requirement for internal K+. However, external K+ proved to be a noncompetitive inhibitor (Ki = 1 mM) of CH3NH3+ uptake by K+ -replete bacteria. External Na+ had no effect on transport. The addition of NH4+ or CH3NH3+ induced a rapid exodus of intracellular 86Rb+, an analog which was able to substitute for K+. The molar ratio of CH3NH3+ uptake to Rb+ exit was 1.12 +/- 0.11. These findings support a mechanism for CH3NH3+ (NH4+) accumulation which requires K+ antiport (exchange) and is driven by the electrochemical K+ gradient. 相似文献

The Na+/L-glutamate (L-aspartate) cotransport system present at the level of rat intestinal brush-border membrane vesicles is specifically activated by the ions K+ and Cl-. The presence of 100 mM K+ inside the vesicles drastically enhances the uptake rate and the transient intravesicular accumulation (overshoot) of the two acidic amino acids. It has been demonstrated that the activation of the transport system depended only in the intravesicular K+ concentration and that in the absence of any sodium gradient, an outward K+ gradient was unable to influence the Na+/acidic amino acid transport system. It was also found that Cl- could specifically activate the Na+-dependent L-glutamate (L-aspartate) uptake either in the presence or in the absence of K+. Also the effect of Cl- was observed only in the presence of an inward Na+ gradient and it was noted to be higher when chloride ion was present on both sides of the membrane vesicles. No influence (activation or accumulation) was observed in the absence of the Na+ gradient and in the presence of chloride gradient. L-Glutamate uptake measured in the presence of an imposed diffusion potential and in the presence of K+ or Cl- did not show any translocation of net charge. 相似文献

Bacterial Salmonella enteritidis var. Issatchenko in media without exogenic energy source uptakes K+ in one step with Km 2.1 mM and Vmax 0.08 mM min-1/10(12) cells. This K+ uptake does not depend on pH and osmotic shock and is not inhibited by DCC. Endogenic energy source (glucose) leads to K+ uptake with Km 2.8 mM and Vmax 0.10 mM min-1/10(12) cells, and secretion of H+. The ratio of the DCC-sensitive fluxes of H+ to K+ equals 2. Arsenate and protonophores depress the K+ uptake. Valinomycin decreases the rate of K+ uptake. It is assumed that K+ uptake takes place via the Trk-like system, which works as a separate system as supercomplex with the H+-ATPase complex. 相似文献

Intracellular pH and K+ concentrations must be tightly controlled because they affect many cellular activities, including cell growth and death. The mechanisms of homeostasis of H+ and K+ are only partially understood. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, proton efflux is mediated by the Pma1 H+-ATPase. As this pump is electrogenic, the activity of the Trk1 and -2 K+ uptake system is crucial for sustained Pma1p operation. The coordinated activities of these two systems determine cell volume, turgor, membrane potential, and pH. Genetic evidence indicates that Trk1p is activated by the Hal4 and -5 kinases and inhibited by the Ppz1 and -2 phosphatases, which, in turn, are inhibited by their regulatory subunit, Hal3p. We show that Trk1p, present in plasma membrane "rafts", physically interacts with Ppz1p, that Trk1p is phosphorylated in vivo, and that its level of phosphorylation increases in ppz1 and -2 mutants. Interestingly, both the interaction with and inhibition of Ppz1p by Hal3p are pH dependent. These results are consistent with a model in which the Ppz1-Hal3 interaction is a sensor of intracellular pH that modulates H+ and K+ homeostasis through the regulation of Trk1p activity. 相似文献

Na+-H+ exchange in isolated renal brush-border membrane vesicles in response to metabolic acidosis. Kinetic effects 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Chronic metabolic acidosis increased the Na+-H+ exchange activity in isolated renal brush-border membrane vesicles. Treatment altered the initial rate of Na+ uptake by increasing Vm (acidotic, 15.3 +/- 0.7 nmol of Na+ X mg-1 X 2 s-1; normal, 11.3 +/- 0.9 nmol of Na+ X mg-1 X 2 s-1), and not the apparent affinity KNa+ (acidotic, 10.2 +/- 0.5 mM; normal 10.2 +/- 0.6 mM). Metabolic acidosis resulted in the proportional increase in 1 mM Na+ uptake at every intravesicular pH measured. A positive cooperative effect on Na+ uptake was found with increased intravesicular acidity in vesicles from both normal and acidotic rats. When the data were analyzed by the Hill equation, it was found that metabolic acidosis did not change the n (acidotic, 1.33 +/- 0.13; normal, 1.43 +/- 0.07) or the K'H+ (acidotic, 0.27 +/- 0.05 microM; normal, 0.28 +/- 0.06 microM), but increased the apparent Vm (acidotic, 1.10 +/- 0.08 nmol of Na+ X mg-1 X 2 s-1; normal, 0.81 +/- 0.07 nmol of Na+ X mg-1 X 2 s-1). The uptake of Na+ in exchange for H+ in membrane vesicles from normal and acidotic animals was not influenced by membrane potential. We conclude that metabolic acidosis leads to either an increase in the number of functioning exchangers or an increase in the turnover rate of the limiting step in the exchange. 相似文献

K+ transport in living cells must be tightly controlled because it affects basic physiological parameters such as turgor, membrane potential, ionic strength, and pH. In yeast, the major high-affinity K+ transporter, Trk1, is inhibited by high intracellular K+ levels and positively regulated by two redundant "halotolerance" protein kinases, Sat4/Hal4 and Hal5. Here we show that these kinases are not required for Trk1 activity; rather, they stabilize the transporter at the plasma membrane under low K+ conditions, preventing its endocytosis and vacuolar degradation. High concentrations (0.2 M) of K+, but not Na+ or sorbitol, transported by undefined low-affinity systems, maintain Trk1 at the plasma membrane in the hal4 hal5 mutant. Other nutrient transporters, such as Can1 (arginine permease), Fur4 (uracil permease), and Hxt1 (low-affinity glucose permease), are also destabilized in the hal4 hal5 mutant under low K+ conditions and, in the case of Can1, are stabilized by high K+ concentrations. Other plasma membrane proteins such as Pma1 (H+ -pumping ATPase) and Sur7 (an eisosomal protein) are not regulated by halotolerance kinases or by high K+ levels. This novel regulatory mechanism of nutrient transporters may participate in the quiescence/growth transition and could result from effects of intracellular K+ and halotolerance kinases on membrane trafficking and/or on the transporters themselves. 相似文献

The yeast Ppz protein phosphatases and the Hal3p inhibitory subunit are important determinants of salt tolerance, cell wall integrity and cell cycle progression. We present several lines of evidence showing that these disparate phenotypes are connected by the fact that Ppz regulates K+ transport. First, salt tolerance, cell wall integrity and cell cycle phenotypes of Ppz mutants are dependent on the Trk K+ transporters. Secondly, Ppz mutants exhibit altered activity of the Trk system, as measured by rubidium uptake. Thirdly, Ppz mutants exhibit altered intracellular K+ and pH, as expected from H+ efflux providing electrical balance during K+ uptake. Our unifying picture of Ppz phenotypes contends that activation of Trk by decreased Ppz activity results in plasma membrane depolarization (reducing uptake of toxic cations), increased intracellular K+ and turgor (compromising cell integrity), and increased intracellular pH (augmenting the expression of pH-regulated genes and facilitating alpha-factor recovery). In addition to providing a coherent explanation for all Ppz-dependent phenotypes, our results provide evidence for a causal relationship between intracellular cation homeostasis and a potential cell cycle checkpoint. 相似文献

1. The interaction of intact Ehrlich ascites-tumour cells with Ca2+ at 37 degrees C consists of Ca2+ uptake followed by efflux from the cells. Under optimum conditions, two or three cycles of uptake and efflux are observed in the first 15 min after Ca2+ addition. 2. The respiratory substrates malate, succinate and ascorbate plus p-phenylenediamine support Ca2+ uptake. Ca2+ uptake at 37 degrees C is sensitive to the respiratory inhibitors rotenone and antimycin A when appropriate substrates are present. Ca2+ uptake and retention are inhibited by the uncoupler S-13. 3. Increasing extracellular Pi (12 to 30 mM) stimulates uncoupler-sensitive Ca2+ uptake, which reaches a maximum extent of 15 nmol/mg of protein when supported by succinate respiration. Ca2+ efflux is partially inhibited at 30 mM-Pi. 4. Optimum Ca2+ uptake occurs in the presence of succinate and Pi, suggesting that availability of substrate and Pi are rate-limiting. K. Ca2+ uptake occurs at 4 degrees C and is sensitive to uncouplers and oligomycin. Ca2+ efflux at this temperature is minimal. These data are consistent with a model in which passive diffusion of Ca2+ through the plasma membrane is followed by active uptake by the mitochondria. Ca2+ uptake is supported by substrates entering respiration at all three energy-coupling sites. Ca2+ efflux appears to be an active process with a high temperature coefficient. 相似文献

Biotin uptake mechanisms in brush-border and basolateral membrane vesicles isolated from rabbit kidney cortex 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Biotin transport was studied using brush-border and basolateral membrane vesicles isolated from rabbit kidney cortex. An inwardly directed Na+ gradient stimulated biotin uptake into brush-border membrane vesicles and a transient accumulation of the anion against its concentration gradient was observed. In contrast, uptake of biotin by basolateral membrane vesicles was found to be Na+-gradient insensitive. Generation of a negative intravesicular potential by valinomycin-induced K+ diffusion potentials or by the presence of Na+ salts of anions of different permeabilities enhanced biotin uptake by brush-border membrane vesicles, suggesting an electrogenic mechanism. The Na+ gradient-dependent uptake of biotin into brush-border membrane vesicles was saturable with an apparent Km of 28 microM. The Na+-dependent uptake of tracer biotin was significantly inhibited by 50 microM biotin, and thioctic acid but not by 50 microM L-lactate, D-glucose, or succinate. Finally, the existence in both types of membrane vesicles of a H+/biotin- cotransport system could not be demonstrated. These results are consistent with a model for biotin reabsorption in which the Na+/biotin- cotransporter in luminal membranes provides the driving force for uphill transport of this vitamin. 相似文献

The driving forces for L-glutamate transport were determined in purified canalicular (cLPM) and basolateral (i.e. sinusoidal and lateral; blLPM) rat liver plasma membrane vesicles. Initial rates of L-glutamate uptake in cLPM vesicles were stimulated by a Na+ gradient (Na+o greater than Na+i), but not by a K+ gradient. Stimulation of L-glutamate uptake was specific for Na+, temperature sensitive, and independent of nonspecific binding. Sodium-dependent L-glutamate uptake into cLPM vesicles exhibited saturation kinetics with an apparent Km of 24 microM, and a Vmax of 21 pmol/mg X min at an extravesicular sodium concentration of 100 mM. Specific anionic amino acids inhibited L-[3H]glutamate uptake and accelerated the exchange diffusion of L-[3H]glutamate. An outwardly directed K+ gradient (K+i greater than K+o) further increased the Na+ gradient (Na+o greater than Na+i)-dependent uptake of L-glutamate in cLPM vesicles, resulting in a transient accumulation of L-glutamate above equilibrium values (overshoot). The K+ effect had an absolute requirement for Na+. In contrast, in blLPM the initial rates of L-glutamate uptake were only minimally stimulated by a Na+ gradient, an effect that could be accounted for by contamination of the blLPM vesicles with cLPM vesicles. These results indicate that hepatic Na+ gradient-dependent transport of L-glutamate occurs at the canalicular domain of the plasma membrane, whereas transport of L-glutamate across sinusoidal membranes results mainly from passive diffusion. These findings provide an explanation for the apparent discrepancy between the ability of various in vitro liver preparations to transport glutamate and suggest that a canalicular glutamate transport system may serve to reabsorb this amino acid from bile. 相似文献

1) Addition of glutamine, glycine, alanine, serine, phenylalanine, proline at a concentration of 3mM, each, or of an amino-acid mixture resembling the physiological amino-acid composition of portal venous blood, to influent perfusate of isolated perfused rat liver led to a 4-6% increase of liver mass without increase of the [3H]inulin space, and biphasic K+ movements across the plasma membrane. These K+ movements consisted of an initial net K+ uptake (0.4-0.9 mumol X g-1 liver) for about 2 min, being followed by a net K+ release (1.0-2.8 mumol X g-1 liver) during the next 10 min. Withdrawal of the amino acids from influent perfusate caused a slow net K+ reuptake by the liver and restored the initial liver mass. No effects on liver mass and K+ fluxes were observed following addition of glutamate or glucose at a concentration of 3mM, each. 2) Aminooxyacetate did not affect the alanine (3 mM) induced increase in liver mass. However, in presence of aminooxyacetate the alanine-induced net K+ release from the liver (i.e. K+ release from 2-10 min minus initial K+ uptake) increased from 0.1 to 2.2 mumol X g-1 liver, whereby simultaneously the alanine tissue level rose from 6.8 to 13.3 mumol X g-1 (corresponding to an increase of the intracellular alanine concentration from about 12 to 25 mM) in presence of aminooxyacetate. 3) When livers were perfused with different glutamine concentrations, a maximal increase in liver mass of 5-6% was observed at glutamine concentrations above 1.5-2mM. A halfmaximal increase in liver mass was observed at 0.6-1.0mM glutamine in influent, i.e. at the physiological portal glutamine concentration.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献
