Origin and voltage dependence of asparagine-induced depolarization in intestinal cells of Xenopus embryo.

The kinetics and voltage dependence of asparagine (Asn)-induced depolarization in endoderm cells from Xenopus laevis embryos were analysed using current-clamp techniques. The depolarization is assumed to reflect the activation of an amino acid membrane carrier; it is accompanied by a slight increase in membrane resistance and cannot be explained by only the electrogenic character of the Asn carrier. It is proposed that the Asn depolarization arises, at least in part, from the decrease of the permeability ratio PK/PNa indirectly associated with the Na-coupled amino acid uptake. At room temperature (20-23 degrees C) the Asn response develops according to a single exponential function whose time constant is correlated with the final level of depolarization. Both amplitude and rise time of the depolarization are sensitive to variations of membrane potential and changes in Asn or Na external concentrations. Lowering the temperature decreases the amplitude of the Asn depolarization and increases its rise time with a Q10 factor of two; the kinetics remain of the Michaelis-Menten type, with a marked decrease in delta Emax and no change in Km. When the holding potential is altered by depolarizing and hyperpolarizing currents, the Asn response varies according to a bell-shaped characteristic presenting an optimum near the normal resting level. Membrane depolarizations induced by Na/K-pump inhibitors or high external K concentrations reduce the size of the Asn response; repolarizing the cell by current injection does not reverse the inhibitory effect of external K ions. Hyperpolarizing the membrane with a K-free Ringer solution increases the amplitude of the Asn response. In all these cases a decrease in delta Emax accounts for the apparent voltage sensitivity of the carrier mechanism. When induced by alterations of [K]o, an additional change in Km is observed, suggesting a K/Na-competitive inhibition of the Asn carrier. The results are discussed in terms of the amino acid carrier and passive membrane properties. It is suggested that the outward K-electrochemical gradient contributes an additional source of energy to the Na-dependent Asn uptake.
