Energization of amino acid transport in energy-depleted Ehrlich cells and plasma membrane vesicles.

چکیده
We redirect attention to contributions to the energization, of the active transport of amino acids in the Ehrlich cell, beyond the known energization, by down-gradient comigration of Na+, beyond possible direct energization by coupling to ATP breakdown, and beyond known energization by exchange with prior accumulations of amino acids. We re-emphasize the uphill operation of System L, and by prior depletion of cellular amino acids show that this system must receive energy beyond that made available by their coupled exodus. After this depletion the Na+-indepdendent accumulation of the norbornane amino acid, 2-aminobicycloheptane-2-carboxylic acid becomes strongly subject to stimulation by incubation with glucose. Energy transfer between Systems A and L through the mutual substrate action of ordinary amino acids was minimized although not entirely avoided by the use of amino acid analogs specific to each system. When 2,4-dinitrophenol was included in the depleting treatment, and pyruvate, phenazine methosulfate, or glucose used for restoration, recovery of uptake of the norbornane amino acid was independent of external Na+ or K+ levels. Restoration or the uptake of 2-(methylamino)isobutyric acid was, however, decreased by omission of external K+. Contrary to an earlier finding, restoration of uptake of each of these amino acids was associated with distinct and usually correlated rises in cellular ATP levels. ATP addition failed to stimulate exodus of the norbornane amino acid from plasma membrane vesicles, although either NADH or phenazine methosulfate did stimulate exodus. ATP production and use is thus associated with transport energization although evidence for a direct role failed to appear.

After summarizing the discrimination of the several transport systems for neutral amino acids in the cell of the higher animal, I discuss here the ways in which 2 dissimilar transport systems interact, so that one tends t o run torward for net entry and the other backwards for net exodus. An evaluation of the proposals for energization shows that uphill transport continues when neither alkali-i...

During the last five years the recognition of ionic channels in the parietal cells of stomach and acid chloride mechanisms of secretion by these cells has become totally clear by the "Patch Oamp" technique. The apical cytoplasm in the oxyntic cells are in the form of vesicles where membranes contain H+, K+ -ATPase pump. Stimulation causes fusion of these tubular vesicles with the cell membran o...
متن کاملReconstitution of neutral amino acid transport from partially purified membrane components from Ehrlich ascites tumor cells.
Solubilized protein fractions have been obtained from plasma membranes of Ehrlich ascites cells either by extraction with 0.5% Triton X-100 or by extraction with 2% cholate. Partial purification of the solubilized protein fraction has been obtained by utilizing a combination of ammonium sulfate precipitation and column chromatography. Leucine-binding activity has been detected in the Triton X-1...

We have previously reported [McCormick and Johnstone (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 85, 7877-7881] the partial purification of the Na(+)-dependent A-system amino acid transporter from Ehrlich cell plasma membranes and have suggested that a 120-130 kDa peptide, a major component of the purified fraction [octyl glucoside (OG) extract], is involved in Na(+)-dependent amino acid transport. In...
متن کاملEffect of alkali cations on freeze-thaw-dependent reconstitution of amino acid transport from Ehrlich ascites cell plasma membrane.
Na+-dependent amino acid transport can be reconstituted by gel filtration of disaggregated plasma membrane and asolectin vesicles coupled to a freeze-thaw cycle. The resultant transport activity is markedly affected by the nature of the reconstitution medium. Reconstitution in K+ permits the formation of active liposomes, whereas reconstitution in Na+, Li+, or choline does not. Electron microgr...
