Abstract
Diabetes mellitus affects the kidney in stages. At the onset of diabetes mellitus, in a subset of diabetic patients the kidneys grow large, and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) becomes supranormal, which are risk factors for developing diabetic nephropathy later in life. This review outlines a pathophysiological concept that focuses on the tubular system to explain these changes. The concept includes the tubular hypothesis of glomerular filtration, which states that early tubular growth and sodium-glucose cotransport enhance proximal tubule reabsorption and make the GFR supranormal through the physiology of tubuloglomerular feedback. The diabetic milieu triggers early tubular cell proliferation, but the induction of TGF-β and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors causes a cell cycle arrest and a switch to tubular hypertrophy and a senescence-like phenotype. Although this growth phenotype explains unusual responses like the salt paradox of the early diabetic kidney, the activated molecular pathways may set the stage for tubulointerstitial injury and diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
With a novel antibody against the rat Na(+)-D-glucose cotransporter SGLT2 (rSGLT2-Ab), which does not cross-react with rSGLT1 or rSGLT3, the ∼75-kDa rSGLT2 protein was localized to the brush-border membrane (BBM) of the renal proximal tubule S1 and S2 segments (S1 > S2) with female-dominant expression in adult rats, whereas rSglt2 mRNA expression was similar in both sexes. Castration of adult males increased the abundance of rSGLT2 protein; this increase was further enhanced by estradiol and prevented by testosterone treatment. In the renal BBM vesicles, the rSGLT1-independent uptake of [(14)C]-α-methyl-D-glucopyranoside was similar in females and males, suggesting functional contribution of another Na(+)-D-glucose cotransporter to glucose reabsorption. Since immunoreactivity of rSGLT2-Ab could not be detected with certainty in rat extrarenal organs, the SGLT2 protein was immunocharacterized with the same antibody in wild-type (WT) mice, with SGLT2-deficient (Sglt2 knockout) mice as negative control. In WT mice, renal localization of mSGLT2 protein was similar to that in rats, whereas in extrarenal organs neither mSGLT2 protein nor mSglt2 mRNA expression was detected. At variance to the findings in rats, the abundance of mSGLT2 protein in the mouse kidneys was male dominant, whereas the expression of mSglt2 mRNA was female dominant. Our results indicate that in rodents the expression of SGLT2 is kidney-specific and point to distinct sex and species differences in SGLT2 protein expression that cannot be explained by differences in mRNA.

Abstract
Members of the SLC5 and SLC2 family are prominently involved in epithelial sugar transport. SGLT1 (sodium-glucose transporter) and SGLT2, as representatives of the former, mediate sodium-dependent uptake of sugars into intestinal and renal cells. GLUT2 (glucose transporter), as representative of the latter, facilitates the sodium-independent exit of sugars from cells. SGLT has played a major role in the formulation and experimental proof for the existence of sodium cotransport systems. Based on the sequence data and biochemical and biophysical analyses, the role of extramembranous loops in sugar and inhibitor binding can be delineated. Crystal structures and homology modeling of SGLT reveal that the sugar translocation involves operation of two hydrophobic gates and intermediate exofacial and endofacial occluded states of the carrier in an alternating access model. The same basic model is proposed for GLUT1. Studies on GLUT1 have pioneered the isolation of eukaryotic transporters by biochemical methods and the development of transport kinetics and transporter models. For GLUT1, results from extensive mutagenesis, cysteine substitution and accessibility studies can be incorporated into a homology model with a barrel-like structure in which accessibility to the extracellular and intracellular medium is altered by pinching movements of some of the helices. For SGLT1 and GLUT1, the extensive hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions between sugars and binding sites of the various intramembrane helices occur and lead to different substrate specificities and inhibitor affinities of the two transporters. A complex network of regulatory steps adapts the transport activity to the needs of the body.

Abstract
To clarify the physiological role of Na(+)-D-glucose cotransporter SGLT1 in small intestine and kidney, Sglt1(-/-) mice were generated and characterized phenotypically. After gavage of d-glucose, small intestinal glucose absorption across the brush-border membrane (BBM) via SGLT1 and GLUT2 were analyzed. Glucose-induced secretion of insulinotropic hormone (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) in wild-type and Sglt1(-/-) mice were compared. The impact of SGLT1 on renal glucose handling was investigated by micropuncture studies. It was observed that Sglt1(-/-) mice developed a glucose-galactose malabsorption syndrome but thrive normally when fed a glucose-galactose-free diet. In wild-type mice, passage of D-glucose across the intestinal BBM was predominantly mediated by SGLT1, independent the glucose load. High glucose concentrations increased the amounts of SGLT1 and GLUT2 in the BBM, and SGLT1 was required for upregulation of GLUT2. SGLT1 was located in luminal membranes of cells immunopositive for GIP and GLP-1, and Sglt1(-/-) mice exhibited reduced glucose-triggered GIP and GLP-1 levels. In the kidney, SGLT1 reabsorbed ∼3% of the filtered glucose under normoglycemic conditions. The data indicate that SGLT1 is 1) pivotal for intestinal mass absorption of d-glucose, 2) triggers the glucose-induced secretion of GIP and GLP-1, and 3) triggers the upregulation of GLUT2.

Abstract
Taste receptors and their downstream signaling molecules are activated by sugars and sweeteners in the gut and participate in the regulation of glucose transport into enterocytes. The glucose transporter families GLUT and SGLT are responsible for the absorption of glucose, GLUT4 and SGLT1 being expressed preferentially in T1R3-positive taste cells. However, the expression patterns of the other glucose transporters in mouse gustatory tissues have not yet been elucidated. Therefore, we have examined the expression patterns of the glucose transporters (GLUT1-4 and SGLT1-3) in mouse gustatory tissues. Reverse transcription/polymerase chain reaction assays have revealed that GLUT1, 3, and 4 and SGLT1 mRNAs are expressed in the circumvallate papillae. Immunohistochemical analysis has shown that SGLT1 is expressed in a subset of the epithelial cells: from the basal cell layer to the prickle cell layer and in intragemmal and extragemmal epithelium cells in the circumvallate, foliate, and fungiform papillae. GLUT1, GLUT3, and GLUT4 are expressed in the prickle cell layers and/or basal cell layers in these papillae. Moreover, GLUT1, but not GLUT3 or GLUT4, is expressed in a subset of intragemmal and extragemmal epithelium cells in these papillae. Double-labeling experiments have demonstrated that GLUT1-positive taste bud cells coexpress gustducin and inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor type III. These results suggest that SGLT1 and GLUT1 play a role in glucose-sensing and/or transport in mouse taste buds.

Abstract
There are two classes of glucose transporters involved in glucose homeostasis in the body, the facilitated transporters or uniporters (GLUTs) and the active transporters or symporters (SGLTs). The energy for active glucose transport is provided by the sodium gradient across the cell membrane, the Na(+) glucose cotransport hypothesis first proposed in 1960 by Crane. Since the cloning of SGLT1 in 1987, there have been advances in the genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, biophysics, and structure of SGLTs. There are 12 members of the human SGLT (SLC5) gene family, including cotransporters for sugars, anions, vitamins, and short-chain fatty acids. Here we give a personal review of these advances. The SGLTs belong to a structural class of membrane proteins from unrelated gene families of antiporters and Na(+) and H(+) symporters. This class shares a common atomic architecture and a common transport mechanism. SGLTs also function as water and urea channels, glucose sensors, and coupled-water and urea transporters. We also discuss the physiology and pathophysiology of SGLTs, e.g., glucose galactose malabsorption and familial renal glycosuria, and briefly report on targeting of SGLTs for new therapies for diabetes.

Abstract
An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of dietary phytic acid (PA) and phytase supplementation on small intestinal histomorphology and Na-dependent glucose transporter 1 (SGLT1) gene expression in piglets. Twenty-four piglets with an average initial BW of 7.60 ± 0.73 kg were randomly assigned to 3 experimental diets, to give 8 piglets per diet. The diets were a casein-cornstarch-based diet that was supplemented with 0 or 2% PA, or 2% PA (as Na phytate) plus an Escherichia coli-derived phytase at 500 phytase units/kg. The basal diet was formulated to meet the 1998 NRC energy, digestible AA, mineral, and vitamin requirements for piglets. After 10 d of feeding, the piglets were killed to determine small intestinal histomorphology and small intestinal SGLT1 gene expression. Phytic acid supplementation did not affect (P > 0.1) villus height (VH) and the VH-to-crypt depth (CD) ratio, but did decrease (P < 0.05) CD in the jejunum. Phytase supplementation did not affect (P > 0.1) VH, CD, and the VH-to-CD ratio. Phytic acid supplementation reduced SGLT1 gene expression in the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum by 1.1-, 5.4-, and 2.4-fold, respectively. Phytase supplementation increased SGLT1 gene expression in the jejunum by 2.6-fold, but reduced SGLT1 gene expression in the duodenum and ileum by 2.0- and 4.0-fold, respectively. In conclusion, PA reduced CD in the jejunum and SGLT1 gene expression in the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, whereas phytase supplementation increased the expression of SGLT1 in the jejunum. The reduced SGLT1 gene expression by PA implies that PA reduces nutrient utilization in pigs partly through reduced expression of SGLT1, which is involved in glucose and Na absorption. The increased expression of SGLT1 in the jejunum by phytase supplementation implies that phytase alleviated the negative effects of PA partly through increased expression of SGLT1.

Abstract
Epithelial cells lining the inner surface of the intestinal epithelium are in direct contact with a lumenal environment that varies dramatically with diet. It has long been suggested that the intestinal epithelium can sense the nutrient composition of lumenal contents. It is only recently that the nature of intestinal nutrient-sensing molecules and underlying mechanisms have been elucidated. There are a number of nutrient sensors expressed on the luminal membrane of endocrine cells that are activated by various dietary nutrients. We showed that the intestinal glucose sensor, T1R2+T1R3 and the G-protein, gustducin are expressed in endocrine cells. Eliminating sweet transduction in micein vivoby deletion of either gustducin or T1R3 prevented dietary monosaccharide- and artificial sweetener-induced up-regulation of the Na+/glucose cotransporter, SGLT1 observed in wild-type mice. Transgenic mice, lacking gustducin or T1R3 had deficiencies in secretion of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and, glucose-dependent insulinotrophic peptide (GIP). Furthermore, they had an abnormal insulin profile and prolonged elevation of postprandial blood glucose in response to orally ingested carbohydrates. GIP and GLP-1 increase insulin secretion, while glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2) modulates intestinal growth, blood flow and expression of SGLT1. The receptor for GLP-2 resides in enteric neurons and not in any surface epithelial cells, suggesting the involvement of the enteric nervous system in SGLT1 up-regulation. The accessibility of the glucose sensor and the important role that it plays in regulation of intestinal glucose absorption and glucose homeostasis makes it an attractive nutritional and therapeutic target for manipulation.

Abstract
Hexose transporters play a pivotal role in the absorption of food-derived monosaccharides in the gastrointestinal tract. Although a basic knowledge of the hexose transporters has already been gained, their detailed distribution and comparative intensities of expression throughout the gastrointestinal tract have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we quantitatively evaluated the expression of SGLT1, GLUT1, GLUT2, and GLUT5 by in situ hybridization and real-time PCR techniques using a total of 28 segments from the gastrointestinal tract of 9-week-old mice. GLUT2 and GLUT5 mRNA expressions were detected predominantly from the proximal to middle parts of the small intestine, showing identical expression profiles, while SGLT1 mRNA was expressed not only in the small intestine but also in the large intestine. Notably, GLUT1 mRNA was expressed at a considerable level in both the stomach and large intestine but was negligible in the small intestine. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated the polarized localization of hexose transporters in the large intestine: SGLT1 on the luminal surface and GLUT1 on the basal side of epithelial cells. The present study provided more elaborate information concerning the localization of hexose transporters in the small intestine. Furthermore, this study revealed the significant expression of glucose transporters in the large intestine, suggesting the existence of the physiological uptake of glucose in that location in mice.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy is a leading cause of end-stage renal disease. A better understanding of the molecular mechanism involved in the early changes of the diabetic kidney may permit the development of new strategies to prevent diabetic nephropathy. This review focuses on the proximal tubule in the early diabetic kidney, particularly on its exposure and response to high glucose levels, albuminuria, and other factors in the diabetic glomerular filtrate, the hyperreabsorption of glucose, the unique molecular signature of the tubular growth phenotype, including aspects of senescence, and the resulting cellular and functional consequences. The latter includes the local release of proinflammatory chemokines and changes in proximal tubular salt and fluid reabsorption, which form the basis for the strong tubular control of glomerular filtration in the early diabetic kidney, including glomerular hyperfiltration and odd responses like the salt paradox. Importantly, these early proximal tubular changes can set the stage for oxidative stress, inflammation, hypoxia, and tubulointerstitial fibrosis, and thereby for the progression of diabetic renal disease.

Abstract
Gut apical Na(+)-glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1) activity is high at the birth and during suckling, thus contributing substantially to neonatal glucose homeostasis. We hypothesize that neonates possess high SGLT1 maximal activity by expressing apical SGLT1 protein along the intestinal crypt-villus axis via unique control mechanisms. Kinetics of SGLT1 activity in apical membrane vesicles, prepared from epithelial cells sequentially isolated along the jejunal crypt-villus axis from neonatal piglets by the distended intestinal sac method, were measured. High levels of maximal SGLT1 uptake activity were shown to exist along the jejunal crypt-villus axis in the piglets. Real-time RT-PCR analyses showed that SGLT1 mRNA abundance was lower (P < 0.05) by 30-35% in crypt cells than in villus cells. There were no significant differences in SGLT1 protein abundances on the jejunal apical membrane among upper villus, middle villus, and crypt cells, consistent with the immunohistochemical staining pattern. Higher abundances (P < 0.05) of total eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) protein and eIE4E-binding protein 1 γ-isoform in contrast to a lower (P < 0.05) abundance of phosphorylated (Pi) eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF2) protein and the eEF2-Pi to total eEF2 abundance ratio suggest higher global protein translational efficiency in the crypt cells than in the upper villus cells. In conclusion, neonates have high intestinal apical SGLT1 uptake activity by abundantly expressing SGLT1 protein in the epithelia and on the apical membrane along the entire crypt-villus axis in association with enhanced protein translational control mechanisms in the crypt cells.

Abstract
We examined the cell-specific subcellular expression patterns for sodium- and potassium-coupled chloride (NaK2Cl) cotransporter 1 (NKCC1), Na(+) bicarbonate cotransporter (NBCe1), cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), and Na(+)/H(+) exchanger 3 (NHE3) to understand the functional plasticity and synchronization of ion transport functions along the crypt-villus axis and its relevance to intestinal disease. In the unstimulated intestine, all small intestinal villus enterocytes coexpressed apical CFTR and NHE3, basolateral NBCe1, and mostly intracellular NKCC1. All (crypt and villus) goblet cells strongly expressed basolateral NKCC1 (at approximately three-fold higher levels than villus enterocytes), but no CFTR, NBCe1, or NHE3. Lower crypt cells coexpressed apical CFTR and basolateral NKCC1, but no NHE3 or NBCe1 (except NBCe1-expressing proximal colonic crypts). CFTR, NBCe1, and NKCC1 colocalized with markers of early and recycling endosomes, implicating endocytic recycling in cell-specific anion transport. Brunner's glands of the proximal duodenum coexpressed high levels of apical/subapical CFTR and basolateral NKCC1, but very low levels of NBCe1, consistent with secretion of Cl(-)-enriched fluid into the crypt. The cholinergic agonist carbachol rapidly (within 10 min) reduced cell volume along the entire crypt/villus axis and promoted NHE3 internalization into early endosomes. In contrast, carbachol induced membrane recruitment of NKCC1 and CFTR in all crypt and villus enterocytes, NKCC1 in all goblet cells, and NBCe1 in all villus enterocytes. These observations support regulated vesicle traffic in Cl(-) secretion by goblet cells and Cl(-) and HCO(3)(-) secretion by villus enterocytes during the transient phase of cholinergic stimulation. Overall, the carbachol-induced membrane trafficking profile of the four ion transporters supports functional plasticity of the small intestinal villus epithelium that enables it to conduct both absorptive and secretory functions.

Abstract
SGLT2 (for "Sodium GLucose coTransporter" protein 2) is the major protein responsible for glucose reabsorption in the kidney and its inhibition has been the focus of drug discovery efforts to treat type 2 diabetes. In order to better clarify the human tissue distribution of expression of SGLT2 and related members of this cotransporter class, we performed TaqMan™ (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA) quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of SGLT2 and other sodium/glucose transporter genes on RNAs from 72 normal tissues from three different individuals. We consistently observe that SGLT2 is highly kidney specific while SGLT5 is highly kidney abundant; SGLT1, sodium-dependent amino acid transporter (SAAT1), and SGLT4 are highly abundant in small intestine and skeletal muscle; SGLT6 is expressed in the central nervous system; and sodium myoinositol cotransporter is ubiquitously expressed across all human tissues.

Abstract
Enteroendocrine cells in the intestine sense the luminal contents and have been shown to respond to not only fatty acids, proteins, and monosaccharides but also artificial sweeteners and bitter compounds. Secretion of hormones such as CCK and GLP-1 from these cells is often associated with a rise in intracellular calcium concentration [Ca²+](i). The human NCI-H716 enteroendocrine cell line has been described as a proper model to study GLP-1 secretion in response to amino acids and protein hydrolysates. Here, we describe that NCI-H716 cells specifically respond to selective tetrapeptides such as tetra-glycine, tetra-alanine and Gly-Trp-Gly-Gly with a dose-dependent [Ca²+](i) response and a GLP-1 secretion, whereas selected free amino acids, dipeptides, tripeptides and pentapeptides failed to elicit such a response. Hormone secretion was not associated with changes in cAMP levels in the cells. The calcium-dependence of hormone secretion appears to involve store-operated calcium channels (SOCCs), since the SOCC blocker 2-APB abolished both the [Ca²+](i) response and GLP-1 release upon tetra-glycine stimulation. The nature of the sensor currently remains elusive, and no obvious common structural pattern in tetrapeptides eliciting GLP-1 secretion was identified. This tetrapeptide sensing in NCI-H716 cells may be underlying the effective stimulation of hormone secretion shown for various protein hydrolysates, and could involve a novel G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR).

Abstract
This work provides evidence of previously unrecognized uptake of glucose via sodium-coupled glucose transporters (SGLTs) in specific regions of the brain. The current understanding of functional glucose utilization in brain is largely based on studies using positron emission tomography (PET) with the glucose tracer 2-deoxy-2-[F-18]fluoro-D-glucose (2-FDG). However, 2-FDG is only a good substrate for facilitated-glucose transporters (GLUTs), not for SGLTs. Thus, glucose accumulation measured by 2-FDG omits the role of SGLTs. We designed and synthesized two high-affinity tracers: one, α-methyl-4-[F-18]fluoro-4-deoxy-D-glucopyranoside (Me-4FDG), is a highly specific SGLT substrate and not transported by GLUTs; the other one, 4-[F-18]fluoro-4-deoxy-D-glucose (4-FDG), is transported by both SGLTs and GLUTs and will pass through the blood brain barrier (BBB). In vitro Me-4FDG autoradiography was used to map the distribution of uptake by functional SGLTs in brain slices with a comparable result from in vitro 4-FDG autoradiography. Immunohistochemical assays showed that uptake was consistent with the distribution of SGLT protein. Ex vivo 4-FDG autoradiography showed that SGLTs in these areas are functionally active in the normal in vivo brain. The results establish that SGLTs are a normal part of the physiology of specific areas of the brain, including hippocampus, amygdala, hypothalamus, and cerebral cortices. 4-FDG PET imaging also established that this BBB-permeable SGLT tracer now offers a functional imaging approach in humans to assess regulation of SGLT activity in health and disease.

Abstract
Mutations in the gene encoding for the Na(+)-glucose co-transporter SGLT2 (SLC5A2) associate with familial renal glucosuria, but the role of SGLT2 in the kidney is incompletely understood. Here, we determined the localization of SGLT2 in the mouse kidney and generated and characterized SGLT2-deficient mice. In wild-type (WT) mice, immunohistochemistry localized SGLT2 to the brush border membrane of the early proximal tubule. Sglt2(-/-) mice had glucosuria, polyuria, and increased food and fluid intake without differences in plasma glucose concentrations, GFR, or urinary excretion of other proximal tubular substrates (including amino acids) compared with WT mice. SGLT2 deficiency did not associate with volume depletion, suggested by similar body weight, BP, and hematocrit; however, plasma renin concentrations were modestly higher and plasma aldosterone levels were lower in Sglt2(-/-) mice. Whole-kidney clearance studies showed that fractional glucose reabsorption was significantly lower in Sglt2(-/-) mice compared with WT mice and varied in Sglt2(-/-) mice between 10 and 60%, inversely with the amount of filtered glucose. Free-flow micropuncture revealed that for early proximal collections, 78 ± 6% of the filtered glucose was reabsorbed in WT mice compared with no reabsorption in Sglt2(-/-) mice. For late proximal collections, fractional glucose reabsorption was 93 ± 1% in WT and 21 ± 6% in Sglt2(-/-) mice, respectively. These results demonstrate that SGLT2 mediates glucose reabsorption in the early proximal tubule and most of the glucose reabsorption by the kidney, overall. This mouse model mimics and explains the glucosuric phenotype of individuals carrying SLC5A2 mutations.

Abstract
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) are the major anion in stool and are synthesized from nonabsorbed carbohydrate by the colonic microbiota. Nonabsorbed carbohydrate are not absorbed in the colon and induce an osmotically mediated diarrhea; in contrast, SCFA are absorbed by colonic epithelial cells and stimulate Na-dependent fluid absorption via a cyclic AMP-independent process involving apical membrane Na-H, SCFA-HCO(3), and Cl-SCFA exchanges. SCFA production represents an adaptive process to conserve calories, fluid, and electrolytes. Inhibition of SCFA synthesis by antibiotics and administration of PEG, a substance that is not metabolized by colonic microbiota, both result in diarrhea. In contrast, increased production of SCFA as a result of providing starch that is relatively resistant to amylase digestion [so-called resistant starch (RS)] to oral rehydration solution (RS-ORS) improves the efficacy of ORS and represents an important approach to improve the effectiveness of ORS in the treatment of acute diarrhea in children under five years of age.

Abstract
Cellular mechanisms underlying the impairment of pancreatic fluid and electrolyte secretion in diabetes were examined using interlobular ducts isolated from rat pancreas. Fluid secretion was assessed by monitoring changes in luminal volume. HCO3(-) uptake across the basolateral membrane was estimated from the recovery of intracellular pH following an acid load. Exposure to high glucose concentrations inhibited fluid secretion and reduced the rate of basolateral HCO3(-) uptake in secretin-stimulated ducts isolated from normal rats. In ducts isolated from streptozotocin-treated diabetic rats, fluid secretion and basolateral HCO3(-) uptake were also severely impaired but could be largely reversed by incubation in normal-glucose solutions. Sodium-dependent glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1), glucose transporter (GLUT)1, GLUT2, and GLUT8 transcripts were detected by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction in isolated ducts. Raising the luminal glucose concentration in microperfused ducts caused a depolarization of the membrane potential, consistent with the presence of SGLT1 at the apical membrane. Unstimulated ducts filled with high-glucose solutions lost luminal fluid by a phlorizin-sensitive mechanism, indicating that pancreatic ducts are capable of active glucose reabsorption from the lumen via SGLT1. In ducts exposed to high glucose concentrations, continuous glucose diffusion to the lumen and active reabsorption via SGLT1 would lead to elevation of intracellular Na+ concentration and sustained depolarization of the apical membrane. These two factors would tend to inhibit the basolateral uptake and apical efflux of Cl(-) and HCO3(-) and could therefore account for the impaired fluid and electrolyte secretion that is observed in diabetes.

Abstract
Fluid secretion is essential for intestinal function and, in eutherian mammals, is driven by electrogenic Cl(-) transport, which is dependent upon a bumetanide-sensitive, basolateral Na(+)/K(+)/2 Cl(-) cotransporter, NKCC1. However, ileal secretion in the brushtail possum, a marsupial, involves a fundamentally different process, since NKCC1 expression is low in this tissue and the secretagogue-induced short circuit current (I(sc)) is insensitive to bumetanide. In view of these differences we have investigated the basis of the secretory response of the possum ileum. In the Ussing chamber the secretory I(sc) is independent of Cl(-) but dependent upon Na(+) and serosal HCO(3)(-)/CO(2), suggesting that secretagogues stimulate electrogenic HCO(3)(-) secretion. In agreement with this, serosal DIDS (4,4'-diisothiocyano-stilbene-2,2'-disulfonate; 1 mmol l(-1)) inhibited the secretory response. However, acetazolamide (1 mmol l(-1)) and serosal amiloride (1 mmol l(-1)) had little effect, indicating that HCO(3)(-) secretion is driven by HCO(3)(-) transport from the serosal solution into the cell, rather than hydration of CO(2) by carbonic anhydrase. Consistent with this the pancreatic variant of the electrogenic Na(+)/HCO(3)(-) cotransporter (pNBC) is highly expressed in the ileal epithelium and is located in the basolateral membrane of the epithelial cells, predominantly in the mid region of the villi, with lower levels of expression in the crypts and no expression in the villous tips. We conclude that the secretory response of the possum ileum involves electrogenic HCO(3)(-) secretion driven by a basolateral pNBC and that the ileal HCO(3)(-) secretion is associated with a specialised function of the possum ileum, most probably related to hindgut fermentation.

Abstract
The high affinity sodium/glucose cotransporter (SGLT1) couples transport of Na(+) and glucose. Previous studies established that mutant Q457C human SGLT1 retains full activity, and sugar translocation is abolished in mutant Q457R or in mutant Q457C after reaction with methanethiosulfonate derivatives, but Na(+) and sugar binding remain intact. To explore the mechanism by which modulation of Q457 abolishes transport, Q457C and Q457R of rabbit SGLT1 were studied using chemical modification and the two-electrode voltage-clamp technique. Compared to wild-type SGLT1, Q457C exhibits approximately 20-fold reduction in phloridzin affinity and preferential occupancy of an inward-facing state. Alkylation of Q457C by [(2-trimethylammonium) ethyl] methanethiosulphonate bromide, (MTSET), reverses these changes while blocking transport. Analysis of pre-steady-state currents in the absence of sugar yields three decay constants for each of Q457C, Q457C-MTSET and Q457R. Comparison of Q457C-MTSET and Q457R with Q457C and wild-type, reveals that inhibition of transport is accompanied by a decrease in magnitude and voltage-independence of the slow decay constant at negative potentials. But fast and medium decays remain unchanged. Computer simulation of transient currents suggests that introduction of positive charge at position 457 leads to a predominant outward rather than inward-facing conformational state. Taken together, the results suggest that glutamine 457, in addition to being involved in sugar binding, is a residue that is sensitive to conformational changes of the carrier.

Abstract
The predicted topology of the mammalian high-affinity sodium/glucose cotransporter (SGLT1), in the region surrounding transmembrane segments 4 and 5, disagrees with the recent published crystal structure of bacterial SGLT from Vibrio parahaemolyticus (vSGLT). To investigate this issue further, 38 residues from I143 to A180 in the N-terminal half of rabbit SGLT1 were each replaced with cysteine and then expressed in COS-7 cells or Xenopus laevis oocytes. The membrane orientations of the substituted cysteines were determined by treatment with the thiol-specific reagent N-Biotinoylaminoethyl methanethiosulfonate (biotin-MTSEA), combined with the membrane impermeant thiol-specific reagent sodium (2-sulfonatoethyl) methanethiosulfonate (MTSES). The present results combined with previous structure/function studies of SGLT1, suggest that transmembrane domain (TM) 4 of mammalian SGLT1 extends from residue 143-171 and support the topology observed in the crystal structure of vSGLT.

Abstract
T1R taste receptors are present throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Glucose absorption comprises active absorption via SGLT1 and facilitated absorption via GLUT2 in the apical membrane. Trafficking of apical GLUT2 is rapidly up-regulated by glucose and artificial sweeteners, which act through T1R2 + T1R3/alpha-gustducin to activate PLC beta2 and PKC betaII. We therefore investigated whether non-sugar nutrients are regulated by taste receptors using perfused rat jejunum in vivo. Under different conditions, we observed a Ca(2+)-dependent reciprocal relationship between the H(+)/oligopeptide transporter PepT1 and apical GLUT2, reflecting the fact that trafficking of PepT1 and GLUT2 to the apical membrane is inhibited and activated by PKC betaII, respectively. Addition of L-glutamate or sucralose to a perfusate containing low glucose (20 mM) each activated PKC betaII and decreased apical PepT1 levels and absorption of the hydrolysis-resistant dipeptide L-Phe(PsiS)-L-Ala (1 mM), while increasing apical GLUT2 and glucose absorption within minutes. Switching perfusion from mannitol to glucose (75 mM) exerted similar effects. c-glutamate induced rapid GPCR internalization of T1R1, T1R3 and transducin, whereas sucralose internalized T1R2, T1R3 and alpha-gustducin. We conclude that L-glutamate acts via amino acid and glucose via sweet taste receptors to coordinate regulation of PepT1 and apical GLUT2 reciprocally through a common enterocytic pool of PKC betaII. These data suggest the existence of a wider Ca(2+) and taste receptor-coordinated transport network incorporating other nutrients and/or other stimuli capable of activating PKC betaII and additional transporters, such as the aspartate/glutamate transporter, EAAC1, whose level was doubled by L-glutamate. The network may control energy supply.
