Transport of methyl beta-D-thiogalactoside and p-nitrophenyl beta-D-galactoside is shown to proceed through the H+-lactose symporter of Kluyveromyces marxianus. Uptake of these compounds is strongly reduced under anaerobic conditions or aerobically in the presence of antimycin. It is shown that antimycin treatment affects p-nitrophenyl beta-D-galactoside uptake in a similar way as it affects the cellular amount of ATP, suggesting regulation of p-nitrophenyl beta-D-galactoside transport by ATP. Also, manipulation of cellular ATP by antimycin treatment followed by glucose incubation, or by aerobic incubation of cells with 2-deoxy-D-glucose, showed a similar dependence of galactoside uptake on the ATP level. Transport of the lipophilic cation tetraphenylphosphonium is affected by ATP variations in a similar way as galactoside influx. It is concluded that ATP regulates H+-galactoside symport by its influence on charge translocation. It is discussed that a membrane ATPase probably plays a central role in the control of the activity of H+-sugar symport.

Two classes of mutants isolated from E. coli and Salmonella typhimurium are altered in respiration-coupled active transport, as studied in whole cells and/or isolated membrane vesicles. Mutant cells defective in D-lactate dehydrogenase (dld) transport amino acids and lactose normally. Membrane vesicles prepared from these mutants do not exhibit D-lactate-dependent transport, D-lactate oxidation, or D-lactate: dichlorophenolindophenol reductase activity. However, succinate-dependent transport is markedly enhanced in these mutants, without a corresponding increase in succinic dehydrogenase activity. The second class of mutants is defective in the coupling of electron transfer to active transport. Whole cells and membrane vesicles prepared from these etc mutants exhibit markedly reduced ability to transport amino acids, despite the ability of the vesicles to oxidize D-lactate, succinate, and NADH. Vectorial phosphorylation of alpha-methylglucoside by these mutants is normal. Electrontransfer coupling mutants are similar phenotypically to mutants uncoupled for oxidative phosphorylation (uncA), but have normal ATPase activity. Moreover, uncA mutants catalyze active transport as well as does the wild type. These experiments indicate that the ETC component is essential for the coupling of respiratory energy to active transport, and provide further evidence that the generation or utilization of ATP is not involved in these transport mechanisms.

1. The intracellular (I.C.) concentrations of Na, K and Cl in mammary cells from lactating guinea-pigs have been calculated from the analysis of fresh tissue and the measurement of the extracellular (E.C.) space with [(14)C]sucrose and the milk content with [(14)C]lactose.2. Assuming that alveolar milk has the same concentration as teat milk, the intracellular concentrations were calculated to be K 115, Na 42 and Cl 66 m-equiv. l(-1) intracellular water.3. Intracellular concentrations were also calculated in slices incubated in Krebs-bicarbonate medium plus glucose. There was a large increase in the sucrose (E.C.) space and a rise in total tissue [Na] and [Cl]. On the assumption that the medium had equilibrated with the milk space as well as the E.C. space, the calculated I.C. concentrations of Na (43 m-equiv. l(-1)), and Cl (62) were very similar while [K] was somewhat higher (143 m-equiv. l(-1)I.C. water).4. The calculated I.C. concentrations of all three ions are all higher than in milk but the ratios between them are almost identical.5. Similar figures for the I.C. concentrations of Na, K and Cl have been obtained in the goat, cow and sheep mammary tissue incubated in vitro.6. Moderate changes in the concentrations of Na, K and Cl in the external medium had no effect on cell composition but during incubation without ions [(14)C]sucrose became distributed throughout the total tissue water indicating that sucrose had entered the I.C. compartment.7. Acetazolamide (10(-2)M), aldosterone (1.4 x 10(-6)M) and, in some experiments, lack of glucose lowered I.C. [Cl(-)], but oxytocin, vasopressin and low doses of insulin had no effect.8. The data are difficult to reconcile with the hypothesis of Zaks, Natochin, Sokolova, Tanasiichuk & Tverskoi (1965) that freshly secreted milk has the ionic composition of plasma.9. Comparison of I.C. ion concentrations and the membrane potential between the cells and milk suggests that Na(+) and K(+) are passively distributed across the apical membrane but that Cl(-) must be actively held in the cells. Across the basal membrane the data are consistent with the presence of a Na(+) pump and with Kinura's (1969) detection of a Na:K ATPase on the basal and lateral membranes. In addition another inward-facing Cl(-) pump may exist at this site.

Penetration of substrates into marine bacteria as influenced by cations has been demonstrated by the effects of increased osmotic pressure in spheroplasts of these cells. Spheroplasts of Pseudomonas natriegens, stabilized with lactose, underwent a metabolic swelling in the presence of a substrate to which they had been induced. Maximal and persistent swelling was achieved only by addition of catabolizable substrate and both Na(+) and K(+). Addition, along with substrate, of Na(+) alone or K(+) alone did not stimulate swelling; no metabolic swelling occurred in the presence of a sugar to which the cells had not been induced. Confirmation of rapid uptake by induced cells of the inducer sugar, l-arabinose, but not the d-isomer, was obtained with (14)C-labeled substrate. Addition of NaN(3) completely inhibited swelling, and 2, 4-dinitrophenol and ouabain each suppressed it by 50%, indicating requirement for energy metabolism and involvement of an adenosine triphosphatase in the penetration phenomena of these cells.

The H+/ATP stoichiometry of the H+-ATPase was investigated in Escherichia coli cells growing under anaerobic conditions at pH 6 and 7. The protonmotive force was determined from the intracellular accumulation of benzoate and tetraphenylphosphonium ions, as well as the accumulation of lactose in this lac operon inducible, but beta-galactosidase negative strain. The phosphorylation potential was calculated from the cellular concentrations of ATP, ADP and inorganic phosphate. By comparing the phosphorylation potential and the proton motive force under these steady state conditions, the H+/ATP stoichiometry was determined to be 3, similar to the value previously found in the same cells growing under aerobic conditions.

The transport of the branched-chain amino acids in Streptococcus agalactiae was characterized. Glucose-grown cells were able to utilize only glucose as an energy source for transport of L-leucine, whereas lactose-grown cells could utilize both glucose and lactose. It was determined from metabolic inhibitor studies that energy from glycolysis and substrate level phosphorylation was required for active transport. Energy was found to be coupled to transport by the action of adenosine triphosphatase and the generation of a proton motive force. The branched-chain amino acids were found to share a common transport system that may consist of multiple components.

The pathogenesis of diarrhea caused by rotavirus infection was studied in miniature swine piglets. The animals were inoculated orally with 2 X 10(7) plaque-forming units of porcine rotavirus (OSU strain). During the height of diarrhea, intestinal function was investigated by in vivo perfusion of a 30-cm segment of proximal jejunum and a 30-cm segment of distal ileum. Absorption of Na+ and water decreased and 3-O-methylglucose transport was markedly reduced, P less than 0.01 compared to control animals. Mucosal lactase and sucrase levels were depressed in both the jejunum and ileum, P less than 0.001. Na+,K+-ATPase activity was significantly depressed only in the ileum, P less than 0.001. These changes were associated with a marked reduction in villous height, suggesting that the diarrhea could be an osmotic diarrhea due to nutrient (carbohydrate) malabsorption. Fresh stool samples were obtained and analyzed immediately for NA+,K+, osmolarity, glucose, and lactose; the osmotic gap was also determined. Stool osmolarity continually increased from 248 +/- 20 mosm/liter prior to inoculation to 348 +/- 20 mosm/liter at 75 +/- 1 hr postinoculation (P less than 0.005); the majority of the fecal osmotic gap could be accounted for by the amount of lactose present in the stools. Stool sodium increased from 34 +/- 6 mM prior to inoculation to a maximum of 65 +/- 4 mM at 53 +/- 1 hr postinoculation, P less than 0.001. There was no significant change in potassium concentration.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Trehalose, the disaccharide of glucose, inhibits both initial rate and maximal capacity of ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport in inside-out vesicles of basolateral membrane from kidney proximal tubules. This inhibition (I0.5 = 60 mM) cannot be attributed to an increase in Ca2+ permeability, since the rate of EGTA-stimulated Ca2+ efflux from preloaded vesicles is not modified by trehalose. In the presence of 600 mM trehalose, Ca2+ uptake was almost completely inhibited, but the Ca(2+)-stimulated ATPase activity was unaffected; thus trehalose uncouples the Ca2+ transport from the ATPase activity. The Ca2+ transport inhibition by trehalose is reversible, since the inhibition disappeared when the vesicles were pre-incubated with 600 mM trehalose and then diluted in reaction medium to measure Ca2+ accumulation. Other mono- and disaccharides such as glucose, fructose, galactose, sucrose, maltose and lactose were tested but were not so effective as trehalose. The uncoupling of Ca2+ transport from hydrolysis can be explained by an interaction of trehalose with the phospholipid environment of the enzyme that induces conformational changes in specific domains of the enzyme so as to impair the coupling process.

Bovine corneal endothelial cells showed a strong migratory response to specific simple sugars (D-glucose and sucrose, but not L-glucose, sorbitol, lactose, or D-galactose) at concentrations above 10 mM. Checkerboard analysis of the migratory responses in modified Boyden chambers indicated both chemotactic and chemokinetic effects. Serum starvation of the cultures increased the chemotaxis towards D-glucose and 2-deoxy-D-glucose, but not towards sucrose. Migration to sucrose and glucose was inhibited by chelation of extracellular calcium or by inhibition of Na+, K+ ATPase with ouabain. To date, this migratory response has been found only in corneal endothelial cells. Neither human melanoma cells, human breast carcinoma cells, bovine aortic endothelial cells, nor bovine microvascular endothelial cells migrated towards simple sugars, although all cell types migrated toward fibronectin in chemotaxis assays. After 16-19 passages in culture, bovine corneal endothelial cells retained their ability to migrate towards fibronectin, but lost their ability to migrate towards sugars. This loss of migratory response was accompanied by a sevenfold decrease in Na+, K+ ATPase activity. Although loss of Na+, K+ ATPase activity accompanied the loss of migratory response, pretreatment of cell cultures with 25 mM glucose did not stimulate, but rather lowered Na+, K+ ATPase activity in low or high passage cultures.

Photodynamic treatment of yeast with the sensitizer Toluidine blue results in loss of cell viability. In previous investigations it was suggested that plasma membrane damage might be responsible for the loss of colony forming capacity. In this context the influence of photodynamic treatment on transmembrane transport systems was studied. It appeared that the uptake of the sugars glucose, lactose and galactose, the amino acids arginine, phenylalanine, glycine and aspartic acid and of the inorganic compound phosphate was inhibited by photodynamic treatment. The different elements of the energy providing system necessary for active transport, viz. the plasma membrane ATPase and the protonmotive force, were not significantly affected by Toluidine blue and light, indicating that inhibition of transport is not caused by a reduction of the membrane potential or the transmembrane pH gradient. These observations suggest that the transport carriers themselves were damaged by treatment with Toluidine blue and light. This could be confirmed in experiments, in which the lactose and galactose transport proteins of treated and untreated cells were reconstituted in plasma membrane vesicles. It appeared that the carriers, obtained from photodynamically treated Kluyveromyces marxianus cell, had lost their transport capacity.
