Cell volume and metabolic dependence of NEM-activated K+-Cl- flux in human red blood cells. 1985

P K Lauf, and C M Perkins, and N C Adragna

The effects of incubation in anisosmotic media and of metabolic depletion on ouabain-resistant (OR) Cl--dependent K+ influxes stimulated by N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) were studied in human red blood cells using Rb+ as K+ analogue. The NEM-stimulated but not the basal Rb+-Cl- influx measured in phosphate-buffered anisosmotic media was found to be cell volume dependent. When cellular ATP, [ATP]c, was lowered to less than 0.10 of its initial level by exposure to nonmetabolizable 2-deoxy-D-glucose, the NEM-stimulated but not the basal Cl--dependent Rb+ influxes were abolished. Metabolically depleted red blood cells subsequently repleted by incubation in glucose plus inosine regained the NEM-inducible Rb+ (K+) transport activity. The difference in the time course of ATP breakdown and Rb+ influx inhibition suggests that energization of the NEM-stimulated Rb+ flux by metabolism may involve factors additional to ATP.
