Separation and reconstitution of sodium-dependent glucose transport activity from renal brush-border membranes using gel-filtration chromatography. 1986

J C Poirée, and M Starita-Geribaldi, and P Sudaka

Pig kidney brush-border membrane vesicles were solubilized using a final concentration of 1% Triton X-100, found optimal for quantitative reconstitution of D-glucose transport into liposomes. Using reconstituted proteoliposomes, selective permeability towards D-glucose compared to other sugars tested was shown as well as the main features of D-glucose transport in native membranes, namely sodium dependence and phlorizin inhibition of D-glucose accumulation. After removal of Triton X-100 from the detergent extract, some membrane proteins (about 40%), which are insoluble in the absence of detergent, were isolated. Among these proteins resolubilized by 1% Triton X-100, the component catalyzing the D-glucose transport was located by gel-filtration chromatography separation, using reconstitution of transport as the assay. The active fraction displayed a molecular size of 50 A; when analyzed on SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, it contained one major protein subunit with an apparent molecular weight close to 65,000. We conclude that this protein fraction is involved in D-glucose transport by renal brush borders.
