dc.description.abstract | After summarizing the discrimination of the several transport systems of 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 to run forward 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-ion gradients nor ATP levels are favorable. Evidence is presented that under these conditions a major contribution is made by another mode of energization, which may depend on the fueling of an oxidoreductase in the plasma membrane. This fueling may involve the export by the mitochondrion of the reducing equivalents of NADH by one of the known shuttles, e.g., the malate-aspartate shuttle. After depletion of the energy reseves in the Ehrilich cell by treating it with dinitrophenol plus iodoacetate concentrative uptake of test amino acids is restoration by pyruvate but in poor correlation with the restoration of alkali-ion gradients and ATP levels. This restoration by pyruvate but not by glucose is highly senstitive to rotenone. A combination of phenazine methosulfate and ascorbate will also produce transport restoration, before either the alkali-ion gradients or ATP levels have begun to rise. The restoration of transport applies to a model amino acid entering by the Na + -independent system, as well as to one entering by the principal Na + -dependent system, restoration being blocked by ouabain, despite the weak effect of ouabain on the alkali-ion gradients in the Ehrlich cell. Quinacrine terminates very quickly the uptake of model amino acids, before the alkali-ion gradients have begun to fall and before the ATP level has been halved. Quinacrine is also effective in blocking restoration of uphill transport by either pyruvate or the phenazine reagent. Preliminary results show that vesicles prepared from the plasma membrane of the Ehrlich cell quickly reduce cytochrome c or ferricyanide in the presence of NADH, and that the distribution of a test amino acid between the vesicle and its environment is influenced by NADH, quinacrine, and an uncoupling agent in ways consistent with the above proposal, assuming that a majority of the vesicles are everted. | en_US |
