Abstract

Intracellular pH (pHi) homeostasis was investigated in human promyelocytic leukemic HL-60 cells as they undergo regulatory volume decrease (RVD) in hypotonic media to determine how well pHi is regulated and which transport systems are involved. Cells suspended in hypotonic (50-60% of isotonic) media undergo a small (< 0.2 pH units), but significant (P < 0.05), intracellular acidification within 5 min. However, after 30 min of RVD, pHi is not significantly different from the initial pHi in 20 mM HCO3- medium and is significantly higher in HCO3(-)-free medium. Experiments performed in media with or without 150 microM 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid and HCO3- demonstrate that the anion exchanger (AE) mediates a net Cl- influx, with compensating HCO3- efflux, during RVD. To determine which transport systems are involved in counteracting this tendency toward acidification, we measured transport rates and examined the effect of transport system inhibitors on pHi. We found that inhibition of Na+/H+ exchange (NHE) with 12.5 microM ethylisoproplamiloride (EIPA) causes pHi to fall significantly by the end of 30 min of RVD. As assessed by EIPA-sensitive 22Na+ uptake measurements, NHE, largely dormant under resting isotonic conditions, becomes significantly activated by the end of 30 min of RVD, despite recovery of pHi and cell volume to near-normal levels. Thus a shift in the normal pHi dependence and/or volume dependence of NHE activity must occur during RVD under hypotonic conditions. In contrast, H(+)-monocarboxylate cotransport appears to play only a supportive role in pH regulation during RVD, as indicated by lack of stimulation of [14C]lactate efflux during RVD.

Hydration of the counterion of the Schiff base in the chloride-transporting mutant of bacteriorhodopsin: FTIR and FT-raman studies of the effects of anion binding when Asp85 is replaced with a neutral residue.

The chromophores of the D85T and D85N mutants of bacteriorhodopsin are blue but become purple like the wild type when chloride or bromide binds near the Schiff base. In D85T this occurs near neutral pH, but in D85N only at pH < 4. The structures of the L and the unphotolyzed states of these proteins were examined with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The difference spectra of the purple forms, but not the blue forms in the absence of these anions, resembled the spectrum of the wild-type protein. Shift of the ethylenic band toward lower frequency upon replacing chloride by bromide confirmed the contribution of the negative charge of the anions to the Schiff base counterion. These anions restored the change of water, which is bound near the protonated Schiff base but is absent in the blue form of the D85N mutant, though with stronger H-bonding than in the wild type. The C = N stretching vibration of the Schiff base in H2O and 2H2O was detected by Fourier transform Raman spectroscopy. The H-bonding strength of the Schiff base in the unphotolyzed state was weaker when chloride or bromide was bound to the mutants than with Asp85 as the counterion in the wild type. Thus, although the geometry of the environment is different, there is at least one water molecule coordinated to the bound halide in these mutants, in a way similar to water bound to Asp85 in the wild type.

A one-site, two-state model for the binding of anions in photosystem II.

Photosystem II membranes, dialyzed against a Cl(-)-free buffer to remove bound Cl-, lost about 65% of the control activity. A light-intensity study of the Cl(-)-free membranes showed that all PS II centers were able to evolve oxygen at about 35% of the control rate when measured in Cl(-)-free medium. The Cl(-)-depleted membranes were immediately (< 15 s) reactivated to 85-90% of the original activity by the addition of fairly high concentrations of Cl- (Kd = 0.5 mM), but both Cl- and the activity were promptly lost when the membranes immediately after reactivation were diluted in a Cl(-)-free medium. However, stabilization of Cl(-)-binding could be accomplished by prolonged incubation in the presence of Cl-. The transition to stable binding, followed using 36Cl-, occurred over several minutes. The stable binding was further characterized by a Kd of 20 microM and a t1/2 for dissociation of about 1h [Lindberg et al. (1993) Photosynth. Res. 38, 401-408]. The effects on S2 signals of removal of Cl- were studied using EPR. The depletion of Cl- was accompanied by a shift in intensity toward the g = 4.1 signal at the expense of the multiline signal. When Cl- or Br- but not F- was added to the depleted PS II membranes, the original distribution of the signals was immediately (< 30 s) restored. We propose that Cl(-)-binding responsible for high oxygen-evolution activity and normal EPR properties of the S2 state may occur either as high affinity (Kd = 20 microM) and slowly exchanging (t1/2 = 1 h), or as low affinity (Kd = 0.5 mM) and rapidly exchanging (t1/2 < 15 s). Our results suggest that Br- but not F- has a mode of binding similar to that of Cl-. The high-affinity state is the normal state of binding, but once Cl- has been removed, it will first rebind as low-affinity, rapidly exchanging followed by conversion into a high-affinity, slowly exchanging mode of binding.

Conversion of D-hamamelose into 2-carboxy-D-arabinitol and 2-carboxy-D-arabinitol 1-phosphate in leaves of Phaseolus vulgaris L.

[1-14C]Hamamelose (2-hydroxymethyl-D-ribose) was synthesized by reaction of ribulose 5-phosphate with potassium [14C]cyanide, catalytic hydrogenation of the resulting cyanohydrin, and dephosphorylation of the product. Its identity was established by a chromatographic comparison with hamamelose isolated from the bark of witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana L.). Following vacuum infiltration of the [1-14C]hamamelose into leaf discs from Phaseolus vulgaris L., 14C-labeled 2carboxy-D-arabinitol (CA) and 2-carboxy-D-arabinitol 1-phosphate (CA1P) were formed, in the dark. Conversion of hamamelose to both CA and CA1P in the leaf discs was inhibited by dithiothreitol and sodium fluoride, although at high concentrations of these inhibitors conversion into CA was still evident when conversion into CA1P was totally inhibited. Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) leaves converted hamamelose into CA without formation of CA1P. Leaves from P. vulgaris contained 68 nmol.g-1 fresh weight of hamamelose in the light and 35 nmol.g-1 fresh weight in the dark. A pathway for the biosynthesis of CA1P from Calvin cycle intermediates is proposed which includes the sequence: hamamelose --> CA --> CA1P.
