Previous studies have documented the presence of protein-mediated transport of UDP-glucuronic acid (UDP-GlcUA) in rat liver endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Measurement of uptake at varying concentrations of high specific activity [beta-32P]UDP-GlcUA has revealed the presence of a two component UDP-GlcUA transporting system. Transport at low substrate concentrations occurred predominantly via a high affinity component (K(m) = 1.6 microM), whereas a low affinity component (K(m) = 38 microM) predominated at high substrate concentrations. The K(m) for the high affinity system is in agreement with that previously published, while the low affinity component is a new finding. The uptake of UDP-GlcUA was temperature-sensitive, time dependent, and saturable for both components. The high affinity transport was affected by trans-stimulation and cis-inhibition by UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc); however, the same concentrations of UDP-GlcNAc had less effect on the low affinity system. In order to further study the two transport components, various inhibitors of anion transport carriers were tested. The high affinity component was strongly inhibited by 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (SITS) and furosemide, while the low affinity system was less sensitive to these reagents. Dose-dependent inhibition by 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS) was found for both transport systems. Probenecid was found to be a weak inhibitor of both components of the UDP-GlcUA uptake. Finally, the major metabolite of 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine, 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine monophosphate (AZTMP), was able to inhibit the uptake of UDP-GlcUA by both components. The results indicate the presence of two carrier-mediated UDP-glucuronic acid transporting components in rat liver ER.

D011339 Probenecid The prototypical uricosuric agent. It inhibits the renal excretion of organic anions and reduces tubular reabsorption of urate. Probenecid has also been used to treat patients with renal impairment, and, because it reduces the renal tubular excretion of other drugs, has been used as an adjunct to antibacterial therapy.

D004721 Endoplasmic Reticulum A system of cisternae in the CYTOPLASM of many cells. In places the endoplasmic reticulum is continuous with the plasma membrane (CELL MEMBRANE) or outer membrane of the nuclear envelope. If the outer surfaces of the endoplasmic reticulum membranes are coated with ribosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum is said to be rough-surfaced (ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM, ROUGH); otherwise it is said to be smooth-surfaced (ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM, SMOOTH).
