Investigating the conformational states of the rabbit Na+/glucose cotransporter.

Krofchick D , Silverman M .


???displayArticle.abstract???
The Na(+) and voltage-dependence of transient rabbit Na(+)/glucose cotransporter (rSGLT1) kinetics was studied with the two-electrode voltage-clamp technique and Xenopus laevis oocytes. Using step changes in membrane potential, in the absence of glucose but with 100 or 10 mM Na(+), transient currents were measured corresponding to binding/debinding of Na(+) and conformational changes of the protein. Previously, only a single time constant has been published for rSGLT1. We, however, observed three decay components; a fast (tau(f), 0.5-1 ms) voltage- and Na(+)-independent decay, and medium (tau(m), 0.5-4 ms) and slow (tau(s), 8-50 ms) voltage- and Na(+)-dependent decays. Transient currents were simulated and fit using a four-state model to obtain kinetic parameters for the system. The four-state model was able to reconstitute an assortment of experimental data.
