Antiporter in Xenopus Laevis Oocytes
The amiloride-sensitive Na + /H + antiporter in defolliculated oocytes of Xenopus laevis was characterized by measurements of H Na + influx and apparent H + efflux. Uptake of ^Na"" was linear over a 90-min incubation period and was inhibited approximately 80% with 5xlO~moll~ amiloride. Amiloride-sensitive sodium uptake was reduced following collagenase treatment or oocyte aging. Ko 5 for amilor...
متن کاملRainbow trout glucose transporter (OnmyGLUT1): functional assessment in Xenopus laevis oocytes and expression in fish embryos.
Recently, we reported the cloning of a putative glucose transporter (OnmyGLUT1) from rainbow trout embryos. In this paper, we describe the functional characteristics of OnmyGLUT1 and its expression during embryonic development of rainbow trout. Transport of D-glucose was analysed in Xenopus laevis oocytes following microinjection of mRNA transcribed in vitro. These experiments confirmed that On...
متن کاملMicroinjection of Xenopus Laevis Oocytes
Microinjection of Xenopus laevis oocytes followed by thin-sectioning electron microscopy (EM) is an excellent system for studying nucleocytoplasmic transport. Because of its large nucleus and high density of nuclear pore complexes (NPCs), nuclear transport can be easily visualized in the Xenopus oocyte. Much insight into the mechanisms of nuclear import and export has been gained through use of...
متن کاملExpression of rat renal sulfate transport systems in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Functional characterization and molecular identification.
Renal proximal tubular sulfate reabsorption is mediated by brush border membrane Na+/sulfate-cotransport and basolateral Na(+)-independent sulfate transport. Injection of rat kidney cortex mRNA into Xenopus laevis oocytes induced Na(+)-dependent as well as Na(+)-independent sulfate transport. The inhibition pattern of Na(+)-dependent uptake coincided with that known for the brush border membran...
متن کاملMicrotubules in immature oocytes of Xenopus laevis.
Previous work indicated that immature oocytes of Xenopus were incapable of assembling microtubules but that competence was achieved during maturation. We report here that small numbers of microtubules do exist in immature oocytes. Consistent with this finding, ultrastructural observations indicate that brain microtubules injected into immature oocytes persist in large numbers for at least 30 mi...
