Cystine exodus from partially purified granular fractions of normal leucocytes is stimulated by MgATP. N-Ethylmaleimide, an inhibitor of the lysosomal H+-translocating ATPase, eliminated the stimulated exodus, but had no effect on basal exodus. As the initial content of cystine was increased, the initial velocity of both the basal and ATP-stimulated egress increased. However, as saturation with substrate was approached, the ATP stimulation disappeared leaving only the N-ethylmaleimide-insensitive basal exodus. The increased initial velocity in the presence of ATP may represent improved binding of cystine to the partially saturated inner transporter as a result of conformational or charge optimization brought about by the action of the H+-translocating ATPase.

D007962 Leukocytes White blood cells. These include granular leukocytes (BASOPHILS; EOSINOPHILS; and NEUTROPHILS) as well as non-granular leukocytes (LYMPHOCYTES and MONOCYTES). Blood Cells, White,Blood Corpuscles, White,White Blood Cells,White Blood Corpuscles,Blood Cell, White,Blood Corpuscle, White,Corpuscle, White Blood,Corpuscles, White Blood,Leukocyte,White Blood Cell,White Blood Corpuscle
D008247 Lysosomes A class of morphologically heterogeneous cytoplasmic particles in animal and plant tissues characterized by their content of hydrolytic enzymes and the structure-linked latency of these enzymes. The intracellular functions of lysosomes depend on their lytic potential. The single unit membrane of the lysosome acts as a barrier between the enzymes enclosed in the lysosome and the external substrate. The activity of the enzymes contained in lysosomes is limited or nil unless the vesicle in which they are enclosed is ruptured or undergoes MEMBRANE FUSION. (From Rieger et al., Glossary of Genetics: Classical and Molecular, 5th ed). Autolysosome,Autolysosomes,Lysosome
D003553 Cystine A covalently linked dimeric nonessential amino acid formed by the oxidation of CYSTEINE. Two molecules of cysteine are joined together by a disulfide bridge to form cystine. Copper Cystinate,L-Cystine,L Cystine

In addition to its crucial roles in metabolism adenosine triphosphate is a neurotransmitter.
