Anion Effects on Carrier-Mediated Uptake
To test the hypothesis that the carrier-mediated component of the indoleacetic acid (IAA) influx involves an electrogenic proton/ IAA anion symport, the effects on the IAA influx of salts expected to depolarize the membrane potential were examined in suspension-cultured soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) root cells. Although KCI does inhibit carrier-mediated uptake, the effect is specific to the ...
متن کاملAn evolutionary perspective on zinc uptake by human fungal pathogens.
The mammalian immune system has evolved sophisticated mechanisms to withhold essential micronutrients from invading pathogens. These processes, collectively known as nutritional immunity serve to limit microbial proliferation and bolster killing of the invader. Successful pathogens, therefore, have developed strategies to counteract nutritional immunity and acquire essential micronutrients in t...
متن کاملCarrier-mediated hepatic uptake of peptidic endothelin antagonists in rats.
The endothelin antagonist BQ-123, an anionic cyclopentapeptide, is taken up by rat hepatocytes through active transport systems. Here, we have examined the hepatocellular uptake mechanism for several BQ-123 derivatives with anionic charges using isolated rat hepatocytes. BQ-485, a linear peptide, BQ-518, a cyclic peptide, and compound A, a cyclic peptide with a cationic moiety, were taken up by...
متن کاملCarrier-mediated hepatic uptake of quinolone antibiotics in the rat.
The systemic clearance of many quinolone antibiotics is mainly via metabolism and urinary excretion; by contrast, biliary excretion is a major route of elimination for a new quinolone grepafloxacin (GPFX). Accordingly, we studied the hepatic uptake of GPFX because it is the first step in the drug's hepatobiliary transport. The hepatic uptake of GPFX in vivo after i.v. administration was found t...
متن کاملFungal pathogens of Proteaceae
Species of Leucadendron, Leucospermum and Protea (Proteaceae) are in high demand for the international floriculture market due to their brightly coloured and textured flowers or bracts. Fungal pathogens, however, create a serious problem in cultivating flawless blooms. The aim of the present study was to characterise several of these pathogens using morphology, culture characteristics, and DNA ...
