Kinetics of Naplus-dependent amino acid transport using cells and membrane vesicles of a marine pseudomonad. 1975

G D Sprott, and J P Drozdowski, and E L Martin, and R A MacLeod

Sodium ion is required for transport of L-alanine and alpha-aminoisobutyric acid (AIB) into cells and membrane vesicles of a marine pseudomonad. Initial rate data obtained at various Naplus and amino acid concentrations were tested for fit by least squares analysis to sequential and Ping-Pong equations. The sequential case is preferred statistically at the 99% confidence limit. Cotransport of AIB and Naplus in cells could not be detected, perhaps explained by efflux of Naplus shown to occur from these cells. The kinetic analysis is consistent with formation of a ternary complex involving Naplus and the amino acid.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007444 Inulin A starch found in the tubers and roots of many plants. Since it is hydrolyzable to FRUCTOSE, it is classified as a fructosan. It has been used in physiologic investigation for determination of the rate of glomerular function.
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D010101 Oxygen Consumption The rate at which oxygen is used by a tissue; microliters of oxygen STPD used per milligram of tissue per hour; the rate at which oxygen enters the blood from alveolar gas, equal in the steady state to the consumption of oxygen by tissue metabolism throughout the body.
