The kinetics and stoichiometry of the redox-linked protonation of the soluble Paracoccus denitrificans cytochrome c oxidase were investigated at pH = 7.2-7.5 by multiwavelength stopped-flow spectroscopy, using the pH indicator phenol red. We compared the wild-type enzyme with the K354M and the D124N subunit I mutants, in which the K- and D-proton-conducting pathways are impaired, respectively. Upon anaerobic reduction by Ru-II hexamine, the wild-type enzyme binds 3.3 +/- 0.6 H(+)/aa(3), i.e., approximately 1 H(+) in excess over beef heart oxidase under similar conditions and the D124N mutant 3.2 +/- 0.5 H(+)/aa(3). In contrast, in the K354M mutant, in which the reduction of heme a(3)-Cu(B) is severely impaired, approximately 0.8 H(+) is promptly bound synchronously with the reduction of heme a, followed by a much slower protonation associated with the retarded reduction of the heme a(3)-Cu(B) site. These results indicate that complete reduction of heme a (and Cu(A)) is coupled to the uptake of approximately 0.8 H(+), which is independent of both H(+)-pathways, whereas the subsequent reduction of the heme a(3)-Cu(B) site is associated with the uptake of approximately 2.5 H(+) transferred (at least partially) through the K-pathway. On the basis of these results, the possible involvement of the D-pathway in the redox-linked protonation of cytochrome c oxidase is discussed. 相似文献

Evidence for a major route for zinc uptake in human red blood cells: [Zn(HCO3)2Cl]- influx through the [Cl-/HCO3-] anion exchanger 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The initial rate of Zn2+ uptake in human red cells was measured by atomic absorption. A very important fraction of Zn2+ uptake was inhibited by DIDS with IC50 = 0.3 microM (and by furosemide and bumetanide with IC50 of 200 and 500 microM, respectively). DIDS-sensitive Zn2+ uptake exhibited the following properties: 1) It required the simultaneous presence of both external HCO3- and Cl-. 2) In Cl- containing media, it was strongly stimulated by external HCO3- following a sigmoidal (S-shaped) and saturable function, which was fitted by a Hanes equation, with n = 2 and an apparent dissociation constant (for external HCO3-) of 5.3 +/- 0.9 mM (mean +/- SD of four experiments). The maximal rate of Zn2+ uptake at saturating HCO3- concentrations was 50.7 +/- 4.8 mmol (liter cells x h)-1. 3) In HCO3- containing media, it was strongly stimulated by external Cl- following a Michaelis-like equation with an apparent dissociation constant (for external Cl-) of 88 +/- 11 mM (mean +/- SD of three experiments). 4) Bicarbonate-stimulated Zn2+ uptake was inhibited by physiological concentrations of phosphate (sulfate was a much less potent inhibitor than phosphate). A kinetic analysis of the data strongly suggested that zinc was transported by the anion carrier in the form of the monovalent anion complex: [Zn(HCO3)2Cl]-. 相似文献

It has previously been shown (Baroin, A., F. Garcia-Romeu, T. Lamarre, and R. Motais. 1984a, b. Journal of Physiology. 350:137, 356:21; Mahé, Y., F. Garcia-Romeu, and R. Motais. 1985. European Journal of Pharmacology. 116:199) that the addition of catecholamines to an isotonic suspension of nucleated red blood cells of the rainbow trout first stimulates a cAMP-dependent, amiloride-sensitive Na+/H+ exchange. This stimulation seems to be transient. It is followed by a more permanent activation of a coupled entry of Na+ and Cl-, which is inhibited by amiloride but also by inhibitors of band 3 protein (DIDS, furosemide, niflumic acid). The coupled entry of Na+ and Cl- could therefore result from the parallel and simultaneous exchange of Na+out for H+in (via the cAMP-dependent Na+/H+ antiporter) and Cl- out for HCO3- in (via the anion exchange system located in band 3 protein). However, in view of the following arguments, it had been proposed that NaCl uptake does not proceed by the double-exchanger system but via an NaCl cotransport: (a) Na+ entry requires Cl- as anion (in NO3- medium, the Na uptake is strongly inhibited, whereas NO3- is an extremely effective substitute for Cl- in the anion exchange system); (b) Na uptake is not significantly affected by the presence of HCO3- in the suspension medium despite the fact that in red cells, Cl-/HCO3- exchange occurs more readily than the exchanges of Cl- for basic equivalents in a theoretically CO2-free medium (the so-called Cl-/OH- exchanges). The purpose of the present paper was a reassessment of the two models by using monensin, an ionophore allowing Na+/H+ exchange. From this study, it appears that NaCl entry results from the simultaneous functioning of the Na+/H+ antiporter and the anion exchange system. The apparent Cl dependence is explained by the fact that, in these erythrocytes, NO3- clearly inhibits the turnover rate of the Na+/H+ antiporter. As Na+/H+ exchange is the driving component in the salt uptake process, this inhibition explains the Cl requirement for Na entry. The lack of stimulation of cell swelling by bicarbonate is explained by the fact that the rate of anion exchange in a CO2-free medium (Cl-/OH- exchange) is roughly equivalent to that of Na+/H+ exchange and thus in practice is not limiting to the net influx of NaCl through the two exchangers.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

The present study was designed to investigate Cl- transport across rat ileal basolateral membranes. Basolateral membrane vesicles were prepared by a well-validated technique. The purity of the basolateral membrane vesicles was verified by marker enzyme studies and by studies of d-glucose and calcium uptake. Cl- uptake was studied by a rapid filtration technique. Neither an outwardly directed pH gradient, nor a HCO3- gradient, or their combination could elicit any stimulation of Cl- transport when compared with no gradient. 4,4-Diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2-disulfonic acid at 5 mM concentration did not inhibit Cl- uptake under gradient condition. Similarly, the presence of the combination of outwardly directed Na+ and HCO3- gradients did not stimulate Cl- uptake compared with the combination of K+ and HCO3- gradients or no HCO3- gradient. This is in contrast to our results in the brush border membranes, where an outwardly directed pH gradient caused an increase in Cl- uptake. Cl- uptake was stimulated in the presence of combined Na+ and K+ gradient. Bumetanide at 0.1 mM concentration inhibited the initial rate of Cl- uptake in the presence of combined Na+ and K+ gradients. Kinetic studies of bumetanide-sensitive Cl- uptake showed a Vmax of 5.6 +/- 0.7 nmol/mg protein/5 sec and a Km of 30 +/- 8.7 mM. Cl- uptake was stimulated by an inside positive membrane potential induced by the ionophore valinomycin in the setting of inwardly directed K+ gradient compared with voltage clamp condition. These studies demonstrate two processes for Cl- transport across the rat ileal basolateral membrane: one is driven by an electrogenic diffusive process and the second is a bumetanide-sensitive Na+/K+/2 Cl- process. Cl- uptake is not enhanced by pH gradient, HCO3- gradient, their combination, or outwardly directed HCO3- and Na+ gradients. 相似文献

Disulfide cross-linking of H,K-ATPase opens Cl- conductance, triggering proton uptake in gastric vesicles. Studies with specific inhibitors 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
An S-S cross-linking reagent, Cu2+-o-phenanthroline, increased the 36Cl-/Cl- exchange rate across the hog gastric vesicle membrane, which contains H,K-ATPase, but did not affect the 86Rb+/Rb+ exchange rate. The results show that closed Cl- conductance can be opened by S-S cross-linking. Gastric vesicles with opened Cl- conductance could take up H+ upon addition of MgATP without prolonged preincubation in a solution containing K+. Preincubation of gastric vesicles with picoprazole, which is a specific inhibitor of H,K-ATPase and binds to 100-kDa polypeptides of the enzyme, dose dependently inhibited opening of the Cl- conductance by Cu2+-o-phenanthroline, indicating that the Cl- conductance is part of the function of the H,K-ATPase. The effect of picoprazole was greater at alkaline pH than at acidic pH. Another H,K-ATPase inhibitor, 2-[2-(3,5-dimethyl-4-methoxy)-pyridylmethylsulfinyl] (5-methoxycarbonyl-6-methyl)-benzimidazole (H compound), had a similar but stronger effect on the Cl- conductance than that of picoprazole. A pungent ingredient of curry, allylisothiocyanate, caused similar pH-dependent inhibition to that of picoprazole. However, another substituted benzimidazole, omeprazole, did not inhibit Cl- conductance. Substituted benzimidazoles, such as picoprazole, H compound, and omeprazole, inhibited the H,K-ATPase activity progressively with a decrease in pH of the medium. This pH dependence was the reverse of that in inhibition of Cl- conductance, suggesting that the inhibitory site of Cl- conductance is different from that of the H,K-ATPase activity and that the conformational states of the two sites change in different ways with change in pH of the medium. 相似文献

In cytochrome c oxidase, oxido-reductions of heme a/Cu(A) and heme a3/Cu(B) are cooperatively linked to proton transfer at acid/base groups in the enzyme. H+/e- cooperative linkage at Fe(a3)/Cu(B) is envisaged to be involved in proton pump mechanisms confined to the binuclear center. Models have also been proposed which involve a role in proton pumping of cooperative H+/e- linkage at heme a (and Cu(A)). Observations will be presented on: (i) proton consumption in the reduction of molecular oxygen to H2O in soluble bovine heart cytochrome c oxidase; (ii) proton release/uptake associated with anaerobic oxidation/reduction of heme a/Cu(A) and heme a3/Cu(B) in the soluble oxidase; (iii) H+ release in the external phase (i.e. H+ pumping) associated with the oxidative (R-->O transition), reductive (O-->R transition) and a full catalytic cycle (R-->O-->R transition) of membrane-reconstituted cytochrome c oxidase. A model is presented in which cooperative H+/e- linkage at heme a/Cu(A) and heme a3/Cu(B) with acid/base clusters, C1 and C2 respectively, and protonmotive steps of the reduction of O2 to water are involved in proton pumping. 相似文献

Properties of the Na+-dependent Cl-/HCO3- exchange system in U937 human leukemic cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

U937 cell possess two mechanisms that allow them to recover from an intracellular acidification. The first mechanism is the amiloride-sensitive Na+/H+ exchange system. The second system involves bicarbonate ions. Its properties have been defined from intracellular pH (pHi) recovery experiments, 22Na+ uptake experiments, 36Cl- influx and efflux experiments. Bicarbonate induced pHi recovery of the cells after a cellular acidification to pHi = 6.3 provided that Na+ ions were present in the assay medium. Li+ or K+ could not substitute for Na+. The system seemed to be electroneutral. 22Na+ uptake experiments showed the presence of a bicarbonate-stimulated uptake pathway for Na+ which was inhibited by 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate. The bicarbonate-dependent 22Na+ uptake component was reduced by depleting cells of their internal Cl- and increased by removal of external Cl-. 36Cl- efflux experiments showed that the presence of both external Na+ and bicarbonate stimulated the efflux of 36Cl- at a cell pHi of 6.3. Finally a 36Cl- uptake pathway was documented. It was inhibited by 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate (K0.5 = 10 microM) and bicarbonate (K0.5 = 2 mM). These results are consistent with the presence in U937 cells of a coupled exchange of Na+ and bicarbonate against chloride. It operates to raise the intracellular pH. Its pHi and external Na+ dependences were defined. No evidence for a Na+-independent Cl-/HCO3- exchange system could be found. The Na+-dependent Cl-/HCO3- exchange system was relatively insensitive to (aryloxy)alkanoic acids which are potent inhibitors of bicarbonate-induced swelling of astroglia and of the Li(Na)CO3-/Cl- exchange system of human erythrocytes. It is concluded that different anionic exchangers exist in different cell types that can be distinguished both by their biochemical properties and by their pharmacological properties. 相似文献

The effect of chloride on metal binding by yeast aminopeptidase I, as well as the binding of chloride to various enzyme forms were studied by means of a micro-centrifugation technique using radioactive 36Cl- as a ligand. Chloride did not significantly alter the binding of activating Zn2+, or binding of Co2+ to the essential metal sites. Both the native Zn2+ enzyme and Co2+-substituted aminopeptidase I bind stoichiometric amounts of C1- (1 Cl-/subunit) with apparent dissociation constants of 0.1-0.2 mM. Additional Cl- was bound at higher concentrations. In contrast to the metal-containing enzyme forms the apoenzyme did not express the high-affinity chloride binding site. 相似文献

Na+, K+, and Cl- transport in resting pancreatic acinar cells 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
《The Journal of general physiology》1995,106(6):1225-1242
To understand the role of Na+, K+, and Cl- transporters in fluid and electrolyte secretion by pancreatic acinar cells, we studied the relationship between them in resting and stimulated cells. Measurements of [Cl-]i in resting cells showed that in HCO3(-)-buffered medium [Cl- ]i and Cl- fluxes are dominated by the Cl-/HCO3- exchanger. In the absence of HCO3-, [Cl-]i is regulated by NaCl and NaK2Cl cotransport systems. Measurements of [Na+]i showed that the Na(+)-coupled Cl- transporters contributed to the regulation of [Na+]i, but the major Na+ influx pathway in resting pancreatic acinar cells is the Na+/H+ exchanger. 86Rb influx measurements revealed that > 95% of K+ influx is mediated by the Na+ pump and the NaK2Cl cotransporter. In resting cells, the two transporters appear to be coupled through [K+]i in that inhibition of either transporter had small effect on 86Rb uptake, but inhibition of both transporters largely prevented 86Rb uptake. Another form of coupling occurs between the Na+ influx transporters and the Na+ pump. Thus, inhibition of NaK2Cl cotransport increased Na+ influx by the Na+/H+ exchanger to fuel the Na+ pump. Similarly, inhibition of Na+/H+ exchange increased the activity of the NaK2Cl cotransporter. The combined measurements of [Na+]i and 86Rb influx indicate that the Na+/H+ exchanger contributes twice more than the NaK2Cl cotransporter and three times more than the NaCl cotransporter and a tetraethylammonium-sensitive channel to Na+ influx in resting cells. These findings were used to develop a model for the relationship between the transporters in resting pancreatic acinar cells. 相似文献

The calcium (Ca2+) uptake by brush border membrane vesicles isolated from fresh human placentas has been characterized. This process was saturable and time- and concentration-dependent. It exhibited a double Michaelis-Menten kinetics, with apparent Km values of 0.17 +/- 0.03 and 2.98 +/- 0.17 mM Ca2+, and Vmax values of 0.9 +/- 0.13 and 2.51 +/- 0.45 pmol.micrograms-1.5 s-1. It was not influenced by the presence of Na+ or Mg2+ in the incubation medium. It was not increased by K+ or anion diffusion potentials, inside negative. At a steady state of 1 mM Ca2+ uptake, a large proportion (approximately 94%) of the Ca2+ was bound to the internal surface of the membranes. Preincubation of these membrane vesicles with voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel blockers (nifedipine and verapamil) had no influence on Ca2+ uptake. However, this uptake was very sensitive to pH. In the absence of a pH gradient, the Ca2+ uptake increased with alkalinity. When the intravesicular pH was kept constant while the pH of the incubation medium was increased, Ca2+ uptake was also stimulated by alkaline pH. In contrast, when the pH of the incubation medium was kept constant and the intravesicular pH was progressively increased, Ca2+ uptake was diminished with alkaline pH. Therefore, H+ gradient (H+ in trans-position greater than H+ in cis-position) favored Ca2+ transport, suggesting a H+/Ca2+ exchange mechanism. Finally, in contrast to the basal plasma membrane, the brush border membrane did not show any ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport activity. 相似文献

The effect of detergents on electron and proton transfer in bovine cytochrome c oxidase was studied using steady-state and transient-state methods. Cytochrome c oxidase in lauryl maltoside has high maximal turnover (TN(max)=400 s(-1)), whereas activity is low (TN(max)=10 s(-1)) in Triton X-100. Single turnover studies of intramolecular electron transfer show similar rates in either detergent. Transient proton uptake experiments show the oxidase in lauryl maltoside consumes 1.8+/-0.3 H(+)/aa(3) during either partial reduction of the oxidase or reaction of fully reduced enzyme with O(2). However, the oxidase in Triton X-100 consumes 2.6+/-0.4 H(+)/aa(3) during partial reduction and 1.0+/-0.2 H(+)/aa(3) in the O(2) reaction. Absorption spectra recorded during turnover show that the enzyme undergoes activation in lauryl maltoside, but does not activate in Triton X-100. We propose that cytochrome c oxidase in different detergents allows access to different sites of protonation, which in turn influences steady-state activity. 相似文献

To test the hypothesis that internal ion imbalances at high pH are caused by altered branchial ion transporting capacity and permeability, radiotracers (24Na+ and 36Cl-) were used to measure ion movements across the gills of intact rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) during 3 d exposure to pH 9.5. At control pH (pH 8.0), the trout were in net ion balance, but by 8 h at high pH, 60%-70% reductions in Cl- influx (JClin) and Na+ influx (JNain) led to net Cl- and Na+ losses of -200 micromol kg-1 h-1. Outflux (diffusive efflux plus renal ion losses) was not initially altered. By 72 h, net Cl- balance was reestablished because of a restoration of JClin. Although JNain remained 50% lower at this time, counterbalancing reductions in Na+ outflux restored net Na+ balance. One-substrate ion-uptake kinetics analyses indicated that reduced ion influx after 8 h at pH 9.5 was caused by 50% decreases in Cl- and Na+ maximal transport rates (JClmax, JNamax), likely reflecting decreased numbers of functional transport sites. Two-substrate kinetic analyses indicated that reduced internal HCO-3 and H+ supply for respective branchial Cl-/base and Na+/acid transport systems also contributed to lower JClin and, to a lesser extent, lower JNain at pH 9.5. Recovery of JClmax after 3 d accounted for restoration of Cl- balance and likely reflected increased numbers of transport sites. In contrast, JNamax remained 33% lower after 3 d, but a lower affinity of the gills for Na+ (fourfold greater KNam) accounted for the chronic reduction in Na+ influx at pH 9.5. Thus, reestablishment of Cl- uptake capacity and counterbalancing reductions in Na+ outflux allows rainbow trout to reestablish net ion balance in alkaline waters. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: In Gallus gallus, eggshell formation takes place daily in the hen uterus and requires large amounts of the ionic precursors for calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Both elements (Ca2+, HCO3-) are supplied by the blood via trans-epithelial transport. Our aims were to identify genes coding for ion transporters that are upregulated in the uterine portion of the oviduct during eggshell calcification, compared to other tissues and other physiological states, and incorporate these proteins into a general model for mineral transfer across the tubular gland cells during eggshell formation. RESULTS: A total of 37 candidate ion transport genes were selected from our database of overexpressed uterine genes associated with eggshell calcification, and by analogy with mammalian transporters. Their uterine expression was compared by qRTPCR in the presence and absence of eggshell formation, and with relative expression levels in magnum (low Ca2+/HCO3- movement) and duodenum (high rates of Ca2+/HCO3- trans-epithelial transfer). We identified overexpression of eleven genes related to calcium movement: the TRPV6 Ca2+ channel (basolateral uptake of Ca2+), 28 kDa calbindin (intracellular Ca2+ buffering), the endoplasmic reticulum type 2 and 3 Ca2+ pumps (ER uptake), and the inositol trisphosphate receptors type 1, 2 and 3 (ER release). Ca2+ movement across the apical membrane likely involves membrane Ca2+ pumps and Ca2+/Na+ exchangers. Our data suggests that Na+ transport involved the SCNN1 channel and the Na+/Ca2+ exchangers SLC8A1, 3 for cell uptake, the Na+/K+ ATPase for cell output. K+ uptake resulted from the Na+/K+ ATPase, and its output from the K+ channels (KCNJ2, 15, 16 and KCNMA1).We propose that the HCO3- is mainly produced from CO2 by the carbonic anhydrase 2 (CA2) and that HCO3- is secreted through the HCO3-/Cl- exchanger SLC26A9. HCO3- synthesis and precipitation with Ca2+ produce two H+. Protons are absorbed via the membrane's Ca2+ pumps ATP2B1, 2 in the apical membrane and the vacuolar (H+)-atpases at the basolateral level. Our model incorporate Cl- ions which are absorbed by the HCO3-/Cl- exchanger SLC26A9 and by Cl- channels (CLCN2, CFTR) and might be extruded by Cl-/H+ exchanger (CLCN5), but also by Na+ K+ 2 Cl- and K+ Cl- cotransporters. CONCLUSIONS: Our Gallus gallus uterine model proposes a large list of ion transfer proteins supplying Ca2+ and HCO3- and maintaining cellular ionic homeostasis. This avian model should contribute towards understanding the mechanisms and regulation for ionic precursors of CaCO3, and provide insight in other species where epithelia transport large amount of calcium or bicarbonate. 相似文献

Role of a Na+-dependent Cl-/HCO3- exchange in regulation of intracellular pH in fibroblasts 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
We previously reported that, in a HCO3(-)-free medium, cytoplasmic pH (pHi) of hamster fibroblasts (CCL39) is primarily regulated by an amiloride-sensitive Na+/H+ antiport (L'Allemain, G., Paris, S., and Pouysségur, J. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 5809-5815). Here we demonstrate the existence of an additional pHi-regulating mechanism in CCL39 cells, namely a Na+-dependent HCO3-/Cl- exchange. Evidence for this system is based on 36Cl- influx studies and on pHi measurements in PS120, a CCL39-derived mutant lacking the Na+/H+ antiport activity. 36Cl- influx rate is a saturable function of external [Cl-] (apparent Km approximately equal to 7 mM), is competitively inhibited by external HCO3- (KI approximately equal to 3 mM), and by stilbene derivatives (KI approximately equal to 20 microM for 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid). Measurements of pHi recovery after an acute acid load indicate that PS120 cells possess an acid-extruding mechanism dependent on external HCO3-, which is inhibited by stilbene derivatives and requires external Na+. Since 22Na+ influx is stimulated upon addition of HCO3- to acid-loaded cells and this effect is completely abolished by 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid, we conclude that Na+ is co-transported with HCO3-, in exchange for intracellular Cl-. In a HCO3(-)-containing medium, this pHi-regulating mechanism appears to have two essential physiological functions for the Na+/H+ antiport-deficient mutant: protection of the cells against excessive cytoplasmic acidification and establishment of a steady-state pHi permissive for growth, at neutral or slightly acidic pHo values (6.6-7.2). 相似文献

We have investigated the kinetic and thermodynamic properties of carbon monoxide binding to the fully reduced quinol oxidase (cytochrome aa(3)) from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Acidianus ambivalens. After flash photolysis of CO from heme a(3), the complex recombines with an apparent rate constant of approximately 3 s(-1), which is much slower than with the bovine cytochrome c oxidase (approximately 80 s(-1)). Investigation of the CO-recombination rate as a function of the CO concentration shows that the rate saturates at high CO concentrations, which indicates that CO must bind transiently to Cu(B) before binding to heme a(3). With the A. ambivalens enzyme the rate reached 50% of its maximum level (which reflects the dissociation constant of the Cu(B)(CO) complex) at approximately 13 microM CO, which is a concentration approximately 10(3) times smaller than for the bovine enzyme (approximately 11 mM). After CO dissociation we observed a rapid absorbance relaxation with a rate constant of approximately 1.4 x 10(4) s(-1), tentatively ascribed to a heme-pocket relaxation associated with release of CO after transient binding to Cu(B). The equilibrium constant for CO transfer from Cu(B) to heme a(3) was approximately 10(4) times smaller for the A. ambivalens than for the bovine enzyme. The approximately 10(3) times smaller Cu(B)(CO) dissociation constant, in combination with the approximately 10(4) times smaller equilibrium constant for the internal CO transfer, results in an apparent dissociation constant of the heme a(3)(CO) complex which is "only" about 10 times larger for the A. ambivalens ( approximately 4 x 10(-3) mM) than for the bovine (0.3 x 10(-3) mM) enzyme. In summary, the results show that while the basic mechanism of CO binding to the binuclear center is similar in the A. ambivalens and bovine (and R. sphaeroides) enzymes, the heme-pocket dynamics of the two enzymes are dramatically different, which is discussed in terms of the different structural details of the A. ambivalens quinol oxidase and adaptation to different living conditions. 相似文献

The hypothesis of Cl-/HCO3- exchange across the apical membrane of the epithelial cells of Necturus gallbladder was tested by means of measurements of extracellular pH (pHo), intracellular pH (pHi), and Cl- activity (alpha Cli) with ion-sensitive microelectrodes. Luminal pH changes were measured after stopping mucosal superfusion with a solution of low buffering power. Under control conditions, the luminal solution acidifies when superfusion is stopped. Shortly after addition of the Na+/H+ exchange inhibitor amiloride (10(-3) M) to the superfusate, alkalinization was observed. During prolonged (10 min) exposure to amiloride, no significant pHo change occurred. Shortly after amiloride removal, luminal acidification increased, returning to control rates in 10 min. The absence of Na+ in the superfusate (TMA+ substitution) caused changes in the same direction, but they were larger than those observed with amiloride. Removal of Cl- (cyclamate or sulfate substitution) caused a short-lived increase in the rate of luminal acidification, followed by a return to control values (10-30 min). Upon re-exposure to Cl-, there was a transient reduction of luminal acidification. The initial increase in acidification produced by Cl- removal was partially inhibited by SITS (0.5 mM). The pHi increased rapidly and reversibly when the Cl- concentration of the mucosal bathing solution was reduced to nominally 0 mM. The pHi changes were larger in 10 mM HCO3-Ringer's than in 1 mM HEPES-Ringer's, which suggests that HCO3- is transported in exchange for Cl-. In both HEPES- and HCO3-Ringer's, SITS inhibited the pHi changes. Finally, intracellular acidification or alkalinization (partial replacement of NaCl with sodium propionate or ammonium chloride, respectively) caused a reversible decrease or increase of alpha Cli. These results support the hypothesis of apical membrane Cl-/HCO3- exchange, which can be dissociated from Na+/H+ exchange and operates under control conditions. The coexistence at the apical membrane of Na+/H+ and Cl-/HCO3- antiports suggests that NaCl entry can occur through these transporters. 相似文献

The inner stripe of the outer medullary collecting tubule is a major distal nephron segment in urinary acidification. To examine the mechanism of basolateral membrane H+/OH-/HCO3- transport in this segment, cell pH was measured microfluorometrically in the inner stripe of the rabbit outer medullary collecting tubule perfused in vitro using the pH-sensitive fluorescent dye, (2',7')-bis(carboxyethyl)-(5,6)-carboxyfluorescein. Decreasing peritubular pH from 7.4 to 6.8 (changing [HCO3-] from 25 to 5 mM) caused a cell acidification of 0.25 +/- 0.02 pH units, while a similar luminal change resulted in a smaller cell acidification of only 0.04 +/- 0.01 pH units. Total replacement of peritubular Cl- with gluconate caused cell pH to increase by 0.18 +/- 0.04 pH units, an effect inhibited by 100 microM peritubular DIDS and independent of Na+. Direct coupling between Cl- and base was suggested by the continued presence of peritubular Cl- removal-induced cell alkalinization under the condition of a cell voltage clamp (K(+)-valinomycin). In addition, 90% of basolateral membrane H+/OH-/HCO3- permeability was inhibited by complete removal of luminal and peritubular Cl-. Peritubular Cl(-)-induced cell pH changes were inhibited two-thirds by removal of exogenous CO2/HCO3- from the system. The apparent Km for peritubular Cl- determined in the presence of 25 mM luminal and peritubular [HCO3-] was 113.5 +/- 14.8 mM. These results demonstrate that the basolateral membrane of the inner stripe of the outer medullary collecting tubule possesses a stilbene-sensitive Cl-/HCO3- exchanger which mediates 90% of basolateral membrane H+/OH-/HCO3- permeability and may be regulated by physiologic Cl- concentrations. 相似文献

The renal cortical collecting duct (CCD) consists of principal and intercalated cells. Two forms of intercalated cells, those cells involved in H+/HCO3- transport, have recently been described. H+-secreting cells are capable of apical endocytosis and have H+ATPase on the apical membrane and a basolateral Cl-/HCO3- exchanger. HCO3(-)-secreting cells bind peanut agglutinin (PNA) to apical membrane receptors and have diffuse or basolateral distribution of H+ATPase; their Cl-/HCO3- exchanger is on the apical membrane. We found that 20 h after acid feeding of rabbits, there was a fourfold increase in number of cells showing apical endocytosis and a numerically similar reduction of cells binding PNA. Incubation of CCDs at pH 7.1 for 3-5 h in vitro led to similar, albeit less pronounced, changes. Evidence to suggest internalization and degradation of the PNA binding sites included a reduction in apical binding of PNA, decrease in pH in the environment of PNA binding, and incorporation of electron-dense PNA into cytoplasmic vesicles. Such remodeling was dependent on protein synthesis. There was also functional evidence for loss of apical Cl-/HCO3- exchange on PNA-labeled cells. Finally, net HCO3- flux converted from secretion to absorption after incubation at low pH. Thus, exposure of CCDs to low pH stimulates the removal/inactivation of apical Cl-/HCO3- exchangers and the internalization of other apical membrane components. Remodeling of PNA-labeled cells may mediate the change in polarity of HCO3- flux observed in response to acid treatment. 相似文献

Two mechanisms are involved in the regulation of the intracellular pH (pHi) of aortic smooth muscle cells: the Na+/H+ antiporter and a Na+-independent HCO3-/Cl- antiporter. The Na+/H+ antiporter acts as a cell alkalinizing mechanism. It is activated by vasopressin and by phorbol esters when cells are incubated in the presence of bicarbonate but is not affected in the absence of bicarbonate. The HCO3-/Cl- antiporter acts as a cell acidifying mechanism. Agents such as forskolin, 8-Br-cAMP, and isoproterenol which raise intracellular cAMP levels inhibit the HCO3-/Cl- antiporter by shifting its pHi dependence in the alkaline direction. Thus, within the same cell type, different hormones control pHi variations by acting on different pHi regulating systems. An increase in pHi can be achieved either by a stimulation of a cell alkalinizing mechanism or by inhibition of a cell acidifying mechanism. A change of the activity of one pHi regulating mechanism modifies the responsiveness of the other to regulatory agents. Bicarbonate turns on the HCO3-/Cl- antiporter, decreases pHi and allows its regulation by protein kinase C through the Na+/H+ antiporter. Inhibition of the HCO3-/Cl- antiporter by cAMP increases the pHi and switches off the protein kinase C-mediated regulation. 相似文献

Modulation of serotonin uptake kinetics by ions and ion gradients in human placental brush-border membrane vesicles 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The modulation of serotonin uptake kinetics by Na+, Cl-, H+, and K+ was investigated in brush-border membrane vesicles prepared from normal human term placentas. The presence of Na+ and Cl- in the external medium was mandatory for the function of the serotonin transporter. In both cases, the initial uptake rate of serotonin was a hyperbolic function of the ion concentration, indicating involvement of one Na+ and one Cl- per transport of one serotonin molecule. The apparent dissociation constant for Na+ and Cl- was 145 and 79 mM, respectively. The external Na+ increased the Vmax of the transporter and also increased the affinity of the transporter for serotonin. The external Cl- also showed similar effects on the Vmax and the Kt, but its effect on the Kt was small compared to that of Na+. The presence of an inside-acidic pH, with or without a transmembrane pH gradient, stimulated the NaCl-dependent serotonin uptake. The effect of internal [H+] on the transport function was to increase the Vmax and decrease the affinity of the transporter for serotonin. The presence of K+ inside the vesicles also greatly stimulated the initial rates of serotonin uptake, and the stimulation was greater at pH 7.5 than at pH 6.5. This stimulation was a hyperbolic function of the internal K+ concentration at both pH values, indicating involvement of one K+ per transport of one serotonin molecule. The apparent dissociation constant for K+ was 5.6 mM at pH 6.5 and 4.0 mM at pH 7.5. The effects of internal [K+] on the uptake kinetics were similar to those of internal [H+].(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献
