Identification and partial purification of the erythrocyte L-lactate transporter.

ABSTRACT: 1. Intact erythrocytes were incubated with 100 microM-4,4'-di-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulphonate (DIDS), a concentration sufficient to inhibit lactate transport irreversibly by 65%. DIDS-labelled proteins were detected by immunoblotting of erythrocyte membrane proteins with an anti-DIDS antibody. Labelled polypeptides of 35-45 kDa in rat erythrocytes, and of 40-50 kDa in rabbit and guinea pig erythrocytes, were detected by this technique. In human erythrocytes, which have 10-fold less transport activity, no labelled polypeptide in this molecular mass range was detected. 2. Labelling of these 35-50 kDa polypeptides was decreased markedly in the presence of the specific inhibitors of lactate transport alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamate and 4,4'-dibenzamidostilbene-2,2'-disulphonate (DBDS), which compete with DIDS for binding to the transporter. However, the weakly bound inhibitor 4,4'-dinitrostilbene-2,2'-disulphonate (DNDS) afforded little protection against labelling by DIDS. 3. The lactate transporter from rat erythrocytes was solubilized with decanoyl-N-methyl glucamide (MEGA-10) and partially purified by Mono-Q anion-exchange chromatography, with transport activity eluting at 0.1-0.15 M-NaCl. The 35-45 kDa DIDS-labelled polypeptide from rat erythrocytes was eluted in the same peak of protein as lactate transporter activity during Mono-Q chromatography. 4. These observations provide strong evidence that the lactate transporter is a polypeptide of 35-45 kDa in rat erythrocytes and of 40-50 kDa in rabbit and guinea pig erythrocytes.

Partial purification and characterization of human erythrocyte phosphoglycollate phosphatase.

Project description:Human erythrocytes contain a phosphatase that is highly specific for phosphoglycollate. It shows optimum pH of 6.7 and has Km 1 mM for phosphoglycollate. The molecular weight appears to be about 72000. The enzyme is a dimeric molecule having subunits of mol. wt. about 35000. It could be purified approx. 4000-fold up to a specific activity of 5.98 units/mg of protein. The activity of the enzyme is Mg2+-dependent. Co2+, and to a smaller extent Mn2+, may substitute for Mg2+. Half-maximum inhibition of the phosphatase by 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoate), EDTA and NaF is obtained at 0.5 microM, 1 mM and 4 mM respectively. Moreover, it needs a univalent cation for optimum activity. Phosphoglycollate phosphatase is a cytoplasmic enzyme. Approx. 5% of its total activity is membrane-associated. This part of activity can be approx. 70% solubilized by freezing, thawing and treatment with 0.25% Triton X-100.

Partial Purification, Identification, and Quantitation of Antioxidants from Wild Rice (<i>Zizania latifolia</i>).

Project description:To provide further insights into the potential health-promoting antioxidants from wild rice (Zizania latifolia), which is an abundant but underutilized whole grain resource in East Asia, a partial purification based on D101 macroporous resin was carried out for the purification and enrichment of the antioxidants from the bioactive ethanol extracts of wild rice. On that basis, 34 phenolic compounds in the antioxidant fractions were identified by a high-performance liquid chromatography-linear ion trap quadrupole-Orbitrap-mass spectrometry (HPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap-MSn). The results suggested that phenolic acids could be enriched in the 10% ethanol-eluted fraction whereas flavonoids (including procyanidins and flavonoid glycosides) could be enriched in 20?30% ethanol-eluted fractions. A quantitative analysis determined by the multiple reaction monitoring mode of the ultra-performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-QqQ-MS/MS) revealed a high content of procyanidins in wild rice. Compared with phenolic acids, flavonoids may contribute more to the potent antioxidant activity of wild rice. This is the first study on the antioxidants from wild rice Z. latifolia. These findings provide novel information on the functional components of wild rice, and will be of value to further research and development on Z. latifolia.

Partial purification and reconstitution of the sarcolemmal L-lactate carrier from rat skeletal muscle.

Project description:Purified sarcolemmal membranes from mixed rat hindlimb muscle were solubilized with octylglucoside and the extract subjected to hydroxylapatite (HA) chromatography. Following protein elution with a sodium phosphate gradient and detergent removal by dialysis, the HA eluate was reconstituted into asolectin liposomes using a freeze-thaw procedure. Specific L-[14C]lactate transport activity eluting from the 0.2 M sodium phosphate fraction was 30-fold higher compared with native sarcolemmal vesicles (31.64 versus 1.06 nmol/min per mg). The reconstituted carrier exhibited Michaelis-Menten saturation kinetics with Km and Vmax. values of 46.2 +/- 6.6 mM and 498.7 +/- 17.2 nmol/15 s per mg respectively. L-Lactate transport activity was inhibited 57% by preincubation of proteoliposomes with 10 mM alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamate, a known inhibitor of lactate transport. Analysis of the HA eluates by SDS/PAGE showed the presence of a 34 kDa band corresponding to lactate transport activity. Reconstitution of lactate transport activity eluting from the HA column, together with SDS/PAGE analysis suggests the presence of a 34 kDa polypeptide mediating sarcolemmal lactate exchange in rat skeletal muscle.

Partial purification and properties of the two common inherited forms of human erythrocyte adenylate kinase.

Project description:1. The partial purification of adenylate kinase, types 1 and 2, from human erythrocytes is described. 2. Gel chromatography of both forms of the enzyme gave estimates of the molecular weights in the range 20000-23000. 3. Studies on crude haemolysates at various pH values indicated that the type 2 enzyme was less stable than the type 1. Heat denaturation studies on the partially purified enzymes confirmed these findings. 4. Measurements of rates of inhibition by iodoacetate and iodoacetamide showed that the type 2 enzyme reacts more readily than the type 1 enzyme with both reagents. 5. The effect of temperature on the initial velocity of ADP formation was measured at a single concentration of both AMP and MgATP(2-). The two forms of the enzyme responded differently to increasing temperature.

N-terminal protein sequence analysis of the rabbit erythrocyte lactate transporter suggests identity with the cloned monocarboxylate transport protein MCT1.

Project description:An improved purification for the rabbit erythrocyte lactate transporter, using aminoethyl-Sepharose chromatography, is described. The process of purification of the 40-50 kDa transporter, labelled with 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulphonate (DIDS), was followed by Western blotting with anti-DIDS antibodies [Poole, R. C. and Halestrap, A. P. (1992) Biochem. J. 283, 855-862]. Fractions highly-enriched in transporter were further purified by SDS/PAGE and the 40-50 kDa DIDS-labelled polypeptide was subjected to N-terminal protein sequencing. This analysis identified the first 16 amino acids of the protein. With the exception of one conservative substitution, this protein sequence is identical to the N-terminal protein sequence predicted from a cDNA isolated from Chinese hamster ovary cells that encode a monocarboxylate transporter, MCT1 [Kim Garcia, C., Goldstein, J. L., Pathak, R. K., Anderson, R. G. W. and Brown, M. S. (1994) Cell 76, 865-873]. This observation, along with similarities in functional properties, leads us to conclude that lactate transport in rabbit erythrocytes is mediated by the MCT1 monocarboxylate transporter isoform.

Purification and partial identification of bone-inducing protein from a murine osteosarcoma.

Project description:A highly purified fraction with bone-inducing potential was obtained from a murine osteosarcoma using initial fractionation, gel filtration on Sephacryl S-200, and cation-exchange, hydroxyapatite and reverse-phase h.p.l.c. Protein sequencing of the sample derived from this active fraction revealed the N-terminal amino acid sequence to be Ala-Ala-Leu-Arg-Pro-Leu-Val-Lys-Pro, which is identical to the N-terminal sequence of mouse, human and rat ribosomal protein L32, except for an additional methionine residue at the N-terminus of the three latter proteins. Amino acid analysis of the sample also showed its similarity to L32. Two lines of evidence using an antibody specific for the above peptide strongly suggest that this L32-related protein from a murine osteosarcoma has the potential to induce ectopic bone formation. First, the protein specifically detected by the antibody co-distributes with the bone-inducing active fraction. Secondly, a highly purified sample obtained using the antibody was shown to induce the formation of bone with active haematopoiesis.

Elucidating the Role and Regulation of a Lactate Permease as Lactate Transporter in Bacillus coagulans DSM1.

Project description:A key feature of Bacillus coagulans is its ability to produce l-lactate via homofermentative metabolism. A putative lactate permease-encoding gene (lutP) and the gene encoding its regulator (lutR) were identified in one operon in B. coagulans strains. LutP orthologs are highly conserved and located adjacent to the gene cluster related to lactate utilization in most lactate-utilizing microorganisms. However, no lactate utilization genes were found adjacent to lutP in all sequenced B. coagulans strains. The stand-alone presence of lutP in l-lactate producers indicates that it may have functions in lactate production. In this study, B. coagulans DSM1 was used as a representative strain, and the critical roles of LutP and its regulation were described. Transport property assays showed that LutP was essential for lactate uptake. Its regulator LutR directly interacted with the lutP-lutR intergenic region, and lutP transcription was activated by l-lactate via regulation by LutR. A biolayer interferometry assay further confirmed that LutR bound to an 11-bp inverted repeat in the intergenic region, and lutP transcription began when the binding of LutR to the lutP upstream sequence was inhibited. We conclusively showed that lutP encodes a functional lactate permease in B. coagulansIMPORTANCE Lactate-utilizing strains require lactate permease (LutP) to transport lactate into cells. Bacillus coagulans LutP is a previously uncharacterized lactate permease with no lactate utilization genes situated either adjacent to or remotely from it. In this study, an active lactate permease in an l-lactate producer, B. coagulans DSM1, was identified. Lactate supplementation regulated the expression of lactate permease. This study presents physiological evidence of the presence of a lactate transporter in B. coagulans Our findings indicate a potential target for the engineering of strains in order to improve their fermentation characteristics.

Partial purification and characterization of the sodium-ion-coupled 5-hydroxytryptamine transporter of rat cerebral cortex.

Project description:A procedure for the extensive purification of the Na(+)-coupled 5-hydroxytryptamine transporter of rat cerebral cortex has been developed. The 5-hydroxytryptamine transporter was solubilized with the non-ionic detergent digitonin, and the detergent extracts were subjected to sequential affinity chromatography on a citalopram-based agarose support and wheat-germ-agglutinin-Sepharose. 5-Hydroxytryptamine transporters in the affinity-purified preparation were identified by using the selective 5-hydroxytryptamine-uptake inhibitor [3H]paroxetine, and were shown to display a similar pharmacological profile to those present in particulate preparations. An overall transporter purification of around 2000-fold was achieved with a 9% recovery. SDS/PAGE of affinity-chromatographed material starting from detergent extracts incubated in the presence or absence of 1 mM-citalopram indicated that a polypeptide of M(r) 73,000 corresponded to the 5-hydroxytryptamine-transporter protein.

Targeting the lactate transporter MCT1 in endothelial cells inhibits lactate-induced HIF-1 activation and tumor angiogenesis.

Project description:Switching to a glycolytic metabolism is a rapid adaptation of tumor cells to hypoxia. Although this metabolic conversion may primarily represent a rescue pathway to meet the bioenergetic and biosynthetic demands of proliferating tumor cells, it also creates a gradient of lactate that mirrors the gradient of oxygen in tumors. More than a metabolic waste, the lactate anion is known to participate to cancer aggressiveness, in part through activation of the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) pathway in tumor cells. Whether lactate may also directly favor HIF-1 activation in endothelial cells (ECs) thereby offering a new druggable option to block angiogenesis is however an unanswered question. In this study, we therefore focused on the role in ECs of monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1) that we previously identified to be the main facilitator of lactate uptake in cancer cells. We found that blockade of lactate influx into ECs led to inhibition of HIF-1-dependent angiogenesis. Our demonstration is based on the unprecedented characterization of lactate-induced HIF-1 activation in normoxic ECs and the consecutive increase in vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) expression. Furthermore, using a variety of functional assays including endothelial cell migration and tubulogenesis together with in vivo imaging of tumor angiogenesis through intravital microscopy and immunohistochemistry, we documented that MCT1 blockers could act as bona fide HIF-1 inhibitors leading to anti-angiogenic effects. Together with the previous demonstration of MCT1 being a key regulator of lactate exchange between tumor cells, the current study identifies MCT1 inhibition as a therapeutic modality combining antimetabolic and anti-angiogenic activities.

Purification and Partial Characterization of ?-Glucosidase in Chayote (Sechium edule).

Project description:?-Glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.21) is a prominent member of the GH1 family of glycoside hydrolases. The properties of this ?-glucosidase appear to include resistance to temperature, urea, and iodoacetamide, and it is activated by 2-ME, similar to other members. ?-Glucosidase from chayote (Sechium edule) was purified by ionic-interchange chromatography and molecular exclusion chromatography. Peptides detected by LC-ESI-MS/MS were compared with other ?-glucosidases using the BLAST program. This enzyme is a 116 kDa protein composed of two sub-units of 58 kDa and shows homology with Cucumis sativus ?-glucosidase (NCBI reference sequence XP_004154617.1), in which seven peptides were found with relative masses ranging from 874.3643 to 1587.8297. The stability of ?-glucosidase depends on an initial concentration of 0.2 mg/mL of protein at pH 5.0 which decreases by 33% in a period of 30 h, and then stabilizes and is active for the next 5 days (pH 4.0 gives similar results). One hundred ?g/mL ?-D-glucose inhibited ?-glucosidase activity by more than 50%. The enzyme had a Km of 4.88 mM with p-NPG and a Kcat of 10,000 min(-1). The optimal conditions for the enzyme require a pH of 4.0 and a temperature of 50 °C.
