The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, 2003 Supervising Professor Ana M. Pajor In this dissertation, two cation-coupled transporters were characterized at the molecular level. The CitM transporter from Bacillus subtilis was functionally expressed and characterized in E.coli cells. The human NaSi-1 transporter (hNaSi-1) and mutants were functionally expressed in Xenopus oocytes. Antibodies against hNaSi-1 were used to investigate tissue distribution and N-glycosylation. The roles of two conserved serine residues in the transport function of hNaSi-1 were investigated using site-directed mutagenesis and radiotracer assay. CitM belongs to a distinct gene family of secondary active transporters that includes the homologous citrate transporter CitH. In this dissertation, the 2+ Km of CitM for the complex of Mg -citrate was about 300 µM in the presence of saturating Mg2+ concentrations. CitM has a high substrate specificity for citrate. Other tested di- and tricarboxylic acids did not significantly inhibit citrate uptakes in the presence of Mg2+. However, CitM accepts complexes of citrate with metal ions other than Mg2+. The transport was inhibited in more alkaline but not in acidic transport buffer and also inhibited by ionophores that affect the transmembrane proton gradient, including FCCP, TCC and nigericin, suggesting a proton-coupled transport. Valinomycin did not affect the uptake vi by CitM, supporting an electroneutral transport model in which one proton is coupled to the uptake of one complex of (Mg2+-citrate)1-. The low affinity Na+/sulfate cotransporter, hNaSi-1, belongs to a specific gene family of Na+-coupled transporters that includes the high affinity hSUT-1 and the Na+-coupled dicarboxylate (NaDC) transporters. Antibodies directed against a peptide of hNaSi-1 recognized the native protein in renal membranes as well as the recombinant protein expressed in Xenopus oocytes. There is a single N-glycosylation site, Asn-591, located at the extracellular C-terminus in hNaSi-1. Site-directed mutagenesis studies of Ser- 260, Ser-288 and the surrounding amino acid residues of hNaSi-1 suggested that these residues are functionally required for hNaSi-1. MTSET inhibition on sulfate uptakes by the four mutants surrounding Ser-260, T257C, T259C, T261C and L263C, was dependent on the cation and substrate used. Since the presence of sodium and sulfate triggers conformational changes during the transport cycle of hNaSi-1, the cation and substrate dependence of MTSET inhibition suggest that these four substituted cysteines move during the transport cycle. Since the four mutated residues are located in TMD-5, this transmembrane domain is also likely to participate in the conformational movement during the transport cycle of hNaSi-1. vii TABLE OF

Methods: A quantitative proteomics approach was used to determine the global changes in the proteome of pri‑ mary colon cancer from patients with non‑cancer normal colon (NC), non‑adenomatous colon polyp (NAP), non‑met‑ astatic tumor (CC NM) and metastatic tumor (CC M) tissues, to identify up‑ and down‑regulated proteins. Total protein was extracted from each biopsy, trypsin‑digested, iTRAQ‑labeled and the resulting peptides separated using strong cation exchange (SCX) and reverse‑phase (RP) chromatography on‑line to electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI‑MS). Results: Database searching of the MS/MS data resulted in the identifcation of 2777 proteins which were clustered into groups associated with disease progression. Proteins which were changed in all disease stages including benign, and hence indicative of the earliest molecular perturbations, were strongly associated with spliceosomal activity, cell cycle division, and stromal and cytoskeleton disruption refecting increased proliferation and expansion into the surrounding healthy tissue. Those proteins changed in cancer stages but not in benign, were linked to infammation/ immune response, loss of cell adhesion, mitochondrial function and autophagy, demonstrating early evidence of cells within the nutrient‑poor solid mass either undergoing cell death or adjusting for survival.

Lima1 and M.C. Fonteles1,2 1Unidade de Pesquisas Clı´nicas, Instituto de Biomedicina, Departamento de Fisiologia e Farmacologia, Escola de Medicina, Universidade Federal do Ceara´, Fortaleza, CE, Brasil 2Instituto de Cieˆncias Biome´dicas, Universidade Estadual do Ceara´, Fortaleza, CE, Brasil Abstract The isolation of heat-stable enterotoxin (STa) from Escherichia coli and cholera toxin from Vibrio cholerae has increased our knowledge of specific mechanisms of action that could be used as pharmacological tools to understand the guanylyl cyclase-C and the adenylyl cyclase enzymatic systems. These discoveries have also been instrumental in increasing our understanding of the basic mechanisms that control the electrolyte and water balance in the gut, kidney, and urinary tracts under normal conditions and in disease. Herein, we review the evolution of genes of the guanylin family and STa genes from bacteria to fish and mammals. We also describe new developments and perspectives regarding these novel bacterial compounds and peptide hormones that act in electrolyte and water balance. The available data point toward new therapeutic perspectives for pathological features such as functional gastrointestinal disorders associated with constipation, colorectal cancer, cystic fibrosis, asthma, hypertension, gastrointestinal barrier function damage associated with enteropathy, enteric infection, malnutrition, satiety, food preferences, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and effects on behavior and brain disorders such as attention deficit, hyperactivity disorder, and schizophrenia. Key words: Heat-stable enterotoxin; Guanylin; Guanylyl cyclase; Secretory diarrhea; Kidney function; Electrolyte and water balance Introduction The heat-stable enterotoxin (Sta) from Escherichia coli kidney function using pure STa toxin.

  • Kidney Vacuolar H -Atpase: Physiology and Regulation
    :Kidney Vacuolar H؉-ATPase Physiology and Regulation Patricia Valles, Michael S. Lapointe, Jan Wysocki, and Daniel Batlle The vacuolar H؉-ATPase is a multisubunit protein consisting of a peripheral catalytic domain (V1) that binds and hydrolyzes adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and provides energy ؉ to pump H through the transmembrane domain (V0) against a large gradient. This proton- translocating vacuolar H؉-ATPase is present in both intracellular compartments and the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells. Mutations in genes encoding kidney intercalated ؉ cell–specific V0 a4 and V1 B1 subunits of the vacuolar H -ATPase cause the syndrome of distal tubular renal acidosis. This review focuses on the function, regulation, and the role of vacuolar H؉-ATPases in renal physiology. The localization of vacuolar H؉-ATPases in the kidney, and their role in intracellular pH (pHi) regulation, transepithelial proton transport, and acid-base homeostasis are discussed.

This discovery Key words: cochlea, hearing system, outer hair cell, prestin, might shed light on an aspect of the function of this mysterious SLC26A5, STAS domain. Prestin [SLC26A5 (solute carrier 26A5)] belongs to the force underlying this form of voltage-dependent cellular response ubiquitous SLC26/SulP (sulfate permease) family of anion would remain unknown. With guinea pig OHCs, the changes in exchangers and is one of ten SLC26A transporters that have cell length could be observed after as short a time as 120 μs been identified in animals, most of which are known to post-stimulation, which is far more rapid than any actin–myosin- transport anions across membranes either in an electroneutral based cell motility functions [8]. This observation suggested that or electrogenic manner [1]. In humans, genes encoding four the mechanism underlying electromotility was different from any members of the SCL26A protein family have been identified as molecular motor that was known at the time. Furthermore, the disease genes: mutations in the genes encoding SLC26A2/DTD, mechanism was also shown to work independently of ATP [9], SLC26A3/DRA, SLC26A4/pendrin and SLC26A5/prestin are and so it became increasingly apparent that OHC electromotility is associated with diastrophic dysplasia, congenital chloride-losing based on a novel type of force-generating mechanism.

RNA-Seq Edited by: Joana A. Palha, was performed at embryonic day (E) 15 and adult with additional data obtained at University of Minho, Portugal intermediate ages from microarray analysis. The largest represented functional group Reviewed by: in the embryo was amino acid transporters (twelve) with expression levels 2–98 times Fernanda Marques, University of Minho, Portugal greater than in the adult. In contrast, in the adult only six amino acid transporters Hanspeter Herzel, were up-regulated compared to the embryo and at more modest enrichment levels Humboldt University, Germany (<5-fold enrichment above E15).
