Abstract
The influence of Ca2+ on the activity of the taurine transport system was investigated in rabbit small intestinal brush-border membrane vesicles. Preincubation of the brush-border membrane vesicles with Ca2+ prepared by the Mg2(+)-aggregation method markedly decreased the NaCl gradient-dependent uptake of taurine in these vesicles. Uptake of glucose and alanine, both dependent on a Na+ gradient, were also decreased by Ca2(+)-treatment, but their reduction was very small compared with that of taurine uptake. The inhibitory effect of Ca2+ was dose- and time-dependent. The inhibition was reduced by the presence of ethylene glycol-bis(beta-amino ethyl ether)-N,N,N'-N'-tetraacetic acid during treatment of the membrane vesicles with Ca2+. Neomycin partially protected the taurine transporter activity from the Ca2(+)-induced inhibition, but indomethacin did not. 5-Nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoate, a Cl(-)-channel blocker, did not increase taurine uptake in the Ca2(+)-treated membrane vesicles. It is concluded that the Ca2(+)-induced inhibition of taurine uptake in rabbit intestinal brush-border membrane vesicles is not due to accelerated dissipation of the ion gradient driving forces across the membrane but rather to a direct effe...Continue Reading
