Carrier-mediated Potassium Efflux Across the Cell Membrane of Red Beet.
نویسنده
چکیده
The flux ratio (influx/efflux) of K(+) across the plasmalemma of beet cells at an external potassium concentration of 0.6 mm does not respond to changes of membrane potential in the manner expected for the free diffusion of ions. The K(+) efflux is affected by the presence of adsorbed Ca(2+), but is apparently unrelated to the electrical potential or to the net uptake of potassium. The K(+) efflux is greater than the efflux of the sulfate and organic anions which are accumulated with potassium, and is partially dependent on the presence of external potassium. Thus the loss of (42)K from the cell does not appear to be a leakage of freely diffusing K(+) ions, nor a leakage of ion pairs, but a carrier-mediated transport or exchange of potassium across the cell membrane.

Role of the Plasma Membrane H+-ATPase in K+ Transport.
The role of the plant plasma membrane H+-ATPase in K+ uptake was examined using red beet (Beta vulgaris L.) plasma membrane vesicles and a partially purified preparation of the red beet plasma membrane H+-ATPase reconstituted in proteoliposomes and planar bilayers. For plasma membrane vesicles, ATP-dependent K+ efflux was only partially inhibited by 100 [mu]M vanadate or 10 [mu]M carbonyl cyani...
متن کاملA Kinetic Investigation of a Carrier-Mediated Transport through a Bulk Liquid Membrane
The kinetics of the potassium thiocyanate transport mediated by dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 (L) through a bulk liquid membrane is studied experimentally and theoretically. The proposed model is based on the assumption of a pure diffusion of the complex salt [K·L]+SCN¯ through the liquid membrane stagnant films at the interfaces. It illustrates the ...
متن کاملEffect of sodium on potassium fluxes at the cell membrane and vacuole membrane of red beet.
Slices of red beet (Beta vulgaris) washed for 5 to 6 days are known to accumulate Na(+) in preference to K(+) from solutions containing both ions. The present work, using ion concentrations of 1.0 mm or less, with Ca(2+) added in some cases, shows that Na(+) strongly inhibits K(+) influx at the cell membrane (plasmalemma) while K(+) efflux is increased to a lesser extent. This result from compa...

Background and Objectives: Red beet extract concentrate can be used as a natural colorant in food products; however, destructive effects of thermal methods to produce juice concentrate decrease nutritional value in the final product. Materials and Methods: In this study, red beet extract was concentrated using osmotic distillation method, and the best pretreatment was evaluated to increase t...
متن کاملConcentrating Red Beet Juice Using Osmotic Distillation: Effects of Device Structure
Background and Objectives: Red beet juice, a potential source of valuable nutrients, is widely used as a colorant in food industries. In recent years, to avoid reduction of nutritional values of the red beet during concentration by thermal processing, an osmotic distillation (OD) technique has been suggested. Therefore, the major aim of the present study was to investigate effects of the flow r...
