Effect of metabolic inhibitors on K+ transport across the lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis) erythrocyte membrane.

چکیده
In order to assess the contribution of oxidative metabolism to K+(86Rb+) transport across the lamprey red cell membrane, the effects of various metabolic inhibitors were examined. The influx of K+ was reduced markedly in the presence of 20 mumol/l 2,4-dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP) or rotenone, and to a lesser extent by 1 mmol/l cyanide. Rotenone produced complete inhibition of the K+ active transport and a partial blockade of K+ channels by 28% on the average. Addition of 2,4-DNP to incubation media resulted in a significant reduction of both active transport of K+ (by 47%) and of K+ movement via channels (by 57%). The inhibitory effect of 2,4-DNP on total K+ influx was independent on decreasing extracellular pHe from 7.4 to 6.5. The blocking action of 1 mmol/l Ba2+ on K+ channels was abolished in the red cells incubated at pHe 6.5. Treatment of the red cells with 1 mmol/l cyanide diminished active transport of K+ to about 34% of control values but did not affect K+ channels. The obtained data indicate that in the lamprey red blood cells at least a half of energy needed for the active transport of K+ is supplied with ATP produced by oxidative phosphorylation. It may be suggested that NADH dehydrogenase is the key enzyme required for active transport of K+ in the cells, as rotenone, a selective blocker of this enzyme, causes a complete blockade of the Na+, K(+)-pump.

Regulation of ion transport across lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis) erythrocyte membrane by oxygen tension.
We have measured the effects of oxygen tension on the transport of Na+, K+ and Cl- across the erythrocyte membrane of the lamprey Lampetra fluviatilis. The transport of each ion was affected by the oxygen tension of the medium. Hypoxic conditions (PO2 2 kPa) caused an increase in the acidification-induced influx of Na+ via Na+/H+ exchange. The influx of K+ was only slightly affected by the oxyg...

The effects of intracellular acidification, osmotic shrinkage and ss-adrenergic stimulation on sodium transport across the membrane of lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis) erythrocytes were investigated. Unidirectional ouabain-insensitive sodium flux, measured using radioactive 22Na, was increased markedly by intracellular acidification, to a lesser extent by osmotic shrinkage and only modestly by ss...

The existence of a furosemide-sensitive Cl- transport pathway activated by external Ca2+ and Mg2+ has been demonstrated previously in studies of Cl- influx across the lamprey erythrocyte membrane. The aim of the present study was to characterize further specific Cl- transport pathways, especially those involved in Cl- efflux, in the red blood cell membrane of Lampetra fluviatilis. Cl- efflux wa...
متن کاملK+ transport across the lamprey erythrocyte membrane: characteristics of a Ba(2+)- and amiloride-sensitive pathway.
The characteristics of K+ transport in erythrocytes from the river lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis) were investigated using standard radioisotope flux techniques. The cells were shown to have a ouabain-sensitive transport pathway that carried 43K+ and 86Rb+ into the cell at similar rates. Most of the ouabain-resistant 43K+ and 86Rb+ influx was via a pathway that was insensitive to cotransport inh...

The aim of this study was to characterize the erythrocyte of the lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis), a primitive vertebrate. The lamprey erythrocyte predominantly has a non-axisymmetric stomatocytelike shape. It has a nucleus and a haemoglobin-filled cytosol with a few organelles and vesicular structures. Surprisingly, there is no marginal band of microtubules. Sodium dodecylsulphate polyacrylamide...
