Ascorbate oxidation is a prerequisite for its transport into rat liver microsomal vesicles.
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.
متن کاملVitamin B12 transport by rat liver lysosomal membrane vesicles.
Vitamin B12 (hydroxycobalamin) is endocytosed by mammalian cells as a complex with transcobalamin II and then processed to free B12 in lysosomes. The mechanism by which free B12 becomes available for subsequent cellular metabolism has been uncertain. Lysosomal transport of cyanocobalamin (B12) was examined using membrane vesicles prepared from Percoll gradient purified lysosomes. B12 uptake by ...
متن کاملEvidence for an UDP-glucuronic acid/phenol glucuronide antiport in rat liver microsomal vesicles.
The transport of glucuronides synthesized in the luminal compartment of the endoplasmic reticulum by UDP-glucuronosyltransferase isoenzymes was studied in rat liver microsomal vesicles. Microsomal vesicles were loaded with p-nitrophenol glucuronide (5 mM), phenolphthalein glucuronide or UDP-glucuronic acid, by a freeze-thawing method. In was shown that: (i) the loading procedure resulted in mil...
متن کاملIsolation and Characterization of Rat Liver Microsomal
Microsomal UDP-glucuronosyltransferase activity toward chenodeoxycholic acid and testosterone has been isolated from rat liver and appears to be homogeneous in sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis and polyacrylamide gradient gel electrophoresis. The conjugating activities toward chenodeoxycholic acid and testosterone co-purified and showed identical mobilities in disc gel electrophoresis,...
متن کاملThe mechanism of action of GTP on Ca2+ efflux from rat liver microsomal vesicles.
1. Guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]), if added before GTP, blocks both Ca2+ efflux promoted by GTP and the effect of GTP on enhancement of inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3)-promoted Ca2+ release from preloaded microsomal vesicles. If, however, GTP[S] is added after GTP, it does not reverse the Ca2+ efflux promoted by GTP, nor does it inhibit IP3-promoted Ca2+ release. 2. The effect...
