Ascorbate oxidation is a prerequisite for its transport into rat liver microsomal vesicles.

چکیده
Oxidation and uptake of ascorbate show similar time courses in rat liver microsomal vesicles: a rapid burst phase is followed by a slower process. Inhibitors of ascorbate oxidation (proadifen, econazole or quercetin) also effectively decreased the uptake of ascorbate. The results show that dehydroascorbate is the transport form of ascorbate at the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum.

Carrier-mediated translocation of uridine diphosphate glucose into the lumen of endoplasmic reticulum-derived vesicles from rat liver.
Radiolabeled UDPGlc incubated with rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)-derived microsomes from rat liver became associated with the vesicles. This microsomal uptake of nucleotide sugar was time and temperature dependent. Analysis of the molecular species containing radiolabel revealed that initial uptake represented entry of predominantly intact UDPGlc in the microsomes. Conclusive evidence for p...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of a hepatic microsomal glucose transport protein. T3 of the glucose-6-phosphatase system?
A 52 kDa polypeptide in rat liver microsomes was identified as a glucose-binding protein by its ability to weakly bind cytochalasin B and by its cross-reactivity to an antibody raised against the human erythrocyte glucose transport protein. The microsomal glucose binding polypeptide was purified by affinity chromatography and an antibody was raised against it. The inhibitory effect of this anti...
متن کاملFAD transport and FAD-dependent protein thiol oxidation in rat liver microsomes.
The transport of FAD and its effect on disulfide bond formation was investigated in rat liver microsomal vesicles. By measuring the intravesicular FAD-accessible space, we observed that FAD permeates across the microsomal membrane and accumulates in the lumen. Rapid filtration experiments also demonstrated the uptake and efflux of the compound, which could be inhibited by atractyloside and 4,4'...
متن کاملCarrier-mediated transport of uridine diphosphoglucuronic acid across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane is a prerequisite for UDP-glucuronosyltransferase activity in rat liver.
UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (EC 2.4.1.17) is an isoenzyme family located primarily in the hepatic endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that displays latency of activity both in vitro and in vivo, as assessed respectively in microsomes and in isolated liver. The postulated luminal location of the active site of UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) creates a permeability barrier to aglycone and UDP-GlcA ac...
متن کاملNature of the specificity of alcohol coupling to L-alanine transport into isolated membrane vesicles of a marine pseudomonad.
Ethanol stimulated the uptake of l-alanine into isolated membrane vesicles of a marine pseudomonad at a rate and to an extent comparable with that obtained with reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) or the artificial electron donor ascorbate-N, N, N', N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (ascorbate-TMPD). Methanol and branched-chain alcohols had little or no capacity to energize transpo...
