Electrogenicity, pH-Dependence, and Stoichiometry of the Proton-Sucrose Symport.
The electrogenicity, pH-dependence, and stoichiometry of the proton-sucrose symport were examined in plasma membrane vesicles isolated from sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L. cv Great Western) leaves. Symport mediated sucrose transport was electrogenic as demonstrated by the effect of membrane potential on DeltapH-dependent flux. In the absence of significant charge compensation, a low rate of sucros...
متن کاملProton stoichiometry of the overexpressed uracil symport of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Information about the molecular biology of the uracil carrier of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is now available but its properties as a symport are unexplored. We have now studied its proton stoichiometry at pH 6.5, 4.8 and 4.2, in a yeast strain overexpressing the symport and unable to metabolize uracil. After the depletion of cellular ATP, uracil uptake followed an approximately exponential time c...
متن کاملEffect of diethylpyrocarbonate on lactose/proton symport in Escherichia coli membrane vesicles.
Exposure of Escherichia coli ML 308-225 membrane vesicles to the histidine-specific reagent diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC) led to concentration- and time-dependent inactivation of active lactose transport, and the sensitivity of the system to inactivation was enhanced when an electrochemical proton gradient (delta- muH+, interior negative and alkaline) was generated across the vesicle membrane. Al...
متن کاملDelineating Electrogenic Reactions during Lactose/H+ Symport†
Electrogenic reactions accompanying downhill lactose/H(+) symport catalyzed by the lactose permease of Escherichia coli (LacY) have been assessed using solid-supported membrane-based electrophysiology with improved time resolution. Rates of charge translocation generated by purified LacY reconstituted into proteoliposomes were analyzed over a pH range from 5.2 to 8.5, which allows characterizat...
متن کاملA potassium-proton symport in Neurospora crassa
Combined ion flux and electrophysiological measurements have been used to characterized active transport of potassium by cells of Neurospora crassa that have been moderately starved of K+ and then maintained in the presence of millimolar free calcium ions. These conditions elicit a high-affinity (K1/2 = 1-10 microM) potassium uptake system that is strongly depolarizing. Current-voltage measurem...
