Abstract
Identification by site-directed mutagenesis of three arginines in uncoupling protein that are essential for nucleotide binding and inhibition.
Authors:Modrianský M, Murdza-Inglis DL, Patel HV, Freeman KB, Garlid KD
Journal:J Biol Chem
PubMed ID:9312070
Primary regulation of uncoupling protein is mediated by purine nucleotides, which bind to the protein and allosterically inhibit fatty acid-induced proton transport. To gain increased understanding of nucleotide regulation, we evaluated the role of basic amino acid residues using site-directed mutagenesis. Mutant and wild-type proteins were expressed in yeast, purified, ... More

Efficient endocytosis of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator requires a tyrosine-based signal.
Authors:Prince LS, Peter K, Hatton SR, Zaliauskiene L, Cotlin LF, Clancy JP, Marchase RB, Collawn JF
Journal:J Biol Chem
PubMed ID:9920908
'We previously demonstrated that the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is rapidly endocytosed in epithelial cells (Prince, L. S., Workman, R. B., Jr., and Marchase, R. B. (1994) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 91, 5192-5196). To determine the structural features of CFTR required for endocytosis, we prepared ... More
Estimation of intracellular chloride activity in isolated perfused rabbit proximal convoluted tubules using a fluorescent indicator.
Authors:Krapf R, Berry CA, Verkman AS
Journal:Biophys J
PubMed ID:3395662
'The methodology has been developed to measure cell chloride activity by fluorescence microscopy using the chloride-sensitive dye, 6-methoxy-1-(3-sulfonatopropyl)quinolinium (SPQ). SPQ was loaded into cells of the in vitro microperfused rabbit proximal convoluted tubule by a 10 min luminal perfusion with 20 mM SPQ at 38 degrees C. Fluorescence was excited ... More
Regulation of Cl/HCO3 exchange in gastric parietal cells.
Authors:Thomas HA, Machen TE
Journal:Cell Regul
PubMed ID:1742343
'Microspectrofluorimetry of the fluorescent indicators 2&#39;,7&#39;-bis-(2-carboxyethyl)-5(and-6)carboxyfluorescein and 6-methoxy-N-(3-sulfopropyl)-quinolinium was used to measure intracellular pH (pHi), intracellular Cl (Cli), and transmembrane fluxes of HCO3 and Cl in single parietal cells (PC) in isolated rabbit gastric glands incubated in HCO3/CO2-buffered solutions. Steady-state pHi was 7.2 in both resting (50 microM cimetidine) and ... More
