Abstract
Membrane transporters are expressed in various bodily tissues and play essential roles in the homeostasis of endogenous substances and the absortion, distribution and/or excretion of xenobiotics. For transporter assays, radioisotope-labeled compounds have been mainly used. However, commercially available radioisotope-labeled compounds are limited in number and relatively expensive. Chromatographic analyses such as high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet absorptiometry and liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry have also been applied for transport assays. To elucidate the transport properties of endogenous substrates, although there is no difficulty in performing assays using radioisotope-labeled probes, the endogenous background and the metabolism of the compound after its translocation across cell membranes must be considered when the intact compound is assayed. In this review, the current state of knowledge about the transport of endogenous substrates via membrane transporters as determined by chromatographic techniques is summarized. Chromatographic techniques have contributed to our understanding of the transport of endogenous substances including amino acids, catecholamines, bile acids, prostanoids and uremic toxins via membrane transporters.

Abstract
The x-ray structure of the prototypic MATE family member, NorM from Vibrio cholerae, reveals a protein fold composed of 12 transmembrane helices (TMHs), confirming hydropathy analyses of the majority of (prokaryotic and plant) MATE transporters. However, the mammalian MATEs are generally predicted to have a 13(th) TMH and an extracellular C terminus. Here we affirm this prediction, showing that the C termini of epitope-tagged, full-length human, rabbit, and mouse MATE1 were accessible to antibodies from the extracellular face of the membrane. Truncation of these proteins at or near the predicted junction between the 13(th) TMH and the long cytoplasmic loop that precedes it resulted in proteins that (i) trafficked to the membrane and (ii) interacted with antibodies only after permeabilization of the plasma membrane. CHO cells expressing rbMate1 truncated at residue Gly-545 supported levels of pH-sensitive transport similar to that of cells expressing the full-length protein. Although the high transport rate of the Gly-545 truncation mutant was associated with higher levels of membrane expression (than full-length MATE1), suggesting the 13(th) TMH may influence substrate translocation, the selectivity profile of the mutant indicated that TMH13 has little impact on ligand binding. We conclude that the functional core of MATE1 consists of 12 (not 13) TMHs. Therefore, we used the x-ray structure of NorM to develop a homology model of the first 12 TMHs of MATE1. The model proved to be stable in molecular dynamic simulations and agreed with topology evident from preliminary cysteine scanning of intracellular versus extracellular loops.

Abstract
The renal organic cation transport system mediates the tubular secretion of cationic compounds including drugs, toxins and endogenous metabolites into urine. It consists of a membrane potential-dependent organic cation transporter at the basolateral membrane and an H(+) /organic cation antiporter at the brush-border membrane. In 2005, human multidrug and toxin extrusion MATE1/SLC47A1 was identified as a mammalian homologue of bacterial NorM. Thereafter, human MATE2-K/SLC47A2 and rodent MATE were found. Functional characterization revealed that MATE1 and MATE2-K were H(+) /organic cation antiporter, mediating the renal tubular secretion of cationic drugs in cooperation with the basolateral organic cation transporter OCT2. Recently, substrate specificity, transcription mechanisms, structure, polymorphisms, in vivo contributions and clinical outcomes on MATE have been investigated intensively. In this review, we summarize recent findings on MATE1/SLC47A1 and MATE2-K/SLC47A2 and discuss the importance of these transporters to the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics/toxicodynamics and pharmacogenomics of cationic drugs.

Abstract
Organic anion transporting polypeptides (humans OATPs, rodents Oatps) are expressed in most mammalian tissues and mediate cellular uptake of a wide variety of amphipathic organic compounds such as bile salts, steroid conjugates, oligopeptides, and a large list of drugs, probably by acting as anion exchangers. In the present study we aimed to investigate the role of the extracellular pH on the transport activity of nine human and four rat OATPs/Oatps. Furthermore, we aimed to test the concept that OATP/Oatp transport activity is accompanied by extrusion of bicarbonate. By using amphibian Xenopus laevis oocytes expressing OATPs/Oatps and mammalian cell lines stably transfected with OATPs/Oatps, we could demonstrate that in all OATPs/Oatps investigated, with the exception of OATP1C1, a low extracellular pH stimulated transport activity. This stimulation was accompanied by an increased substrate affinity as evidenced by lower apparent Michaelis-Menten constant values. OATP1C1 is lacking a highly conserved histidine in the third transmembrane domain, which was shown by site-directed mutagenesis to be critically involved in the pH dependency of OATPs/Oatps. Using online intracellular pH measurements in OATP/Oatp-transfected Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO)-K1 cells, we could demonstrate the presence of a 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid-sensitive chloride/bicarbonate exchanger in CHO-K1 cells and that OATP/Oatp-mediated substrate transport is paralleled by bicarbonate efflux. We conclude that the pH dependency of OATPs/Oatps may lead to a stimulation of substrate transport in an acidic microenvironment and that the OATP/Oatp-mediated substrate transport into cells is generally compensated or accompanied by bicarbonate efflux.

Abstract
Vectorial secretion of cationic compounds across tubular epithelial cells is an important function of the kidney. This uni-directed transport is mediated by two cooperative functions, which are membrane potential-dependent organic cation transporters at the basolateral membranes and H+/organic cation antiporters at the brush-border membranes. More than 10 years ago, the basolateral organic cation transporters (OCT1-3/SLC22A1-3) were isolated, and molecular understandings for the basolateral entry of cationic drugs have been greatly advanced. However, the molecular nature of H+/organic cation antiport systems remains unclear. Recently, mammalian orthologues of the multidrug and toxin extrusion (MATE) family of bacteria have been isolated and clarified to function as H+/organic cation antiporters. In this commentary, the molecular characteristics and pharmacokinetic roles of mammalian MATEs are critically overviewed focusing on the renal secretion of cationic drugs.

Abstract
Multidrug and toxin extrusion 1 (MATE1) has been isolated as an H(+)/organic cation antiporter located at the renal brush-border membranes. Previous studies using rat renal brush-border membrane vesicles indicated that cysteine and histidine residues played critical roles in H(+)/organic cation antiport activity. In the present study, essential histidine and cysteine residues of MATE1 family were elucidated. When 7 histidine and 12 cysteine residues of rat (r)MATE1 conserved among species were mutated, substitution of His-385, Cys-62, and Cys-126 led to a significant loss of tetraethylammonium (TEA) transport activity. Cell surface biotinylation and immunofluorescence analyses with confocal microscopy indicated that rMATE1 mutant proteins were localized at plasma membranes. Mutation of the corresponding residues in human (h)MATE1 and hMATE2-K also diminished the transport activity. The transport of TEA via rMATE1 was inhibited by the sulfhydryl reagent p-chloromercuribenzenesulfonate (PCMBS) and the histidine residue modifier diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEPC) in a concentration-dependent manner. The PCMBS-caused inhibition of the transport via rMATE1 was protected by an excess of various organic cations such as TEA, suggesting that cysteine residues act as substrate-binding sites. In the case of DEPC, no such protective effects were observed. These results suggest that histidine and cysteine residues are required for MATE1 to function and that cysteine residues may serve as substrate-recognition sites.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to study the mechanisms involved in intestinal permeability of gonyautoxins. For this purpose, the influence on transmucosal resistance of gonyautoxins and their permeability was investigated in excised human jejunal segments. To evaluate these events, the isolated mucosa was mounted in Ussing chambers for electrophysiological characterization. The organic gonyautoxin cations were applied to the mucosal side and samples collected on the serosal side. The permeability of gonyautoxins measured at 37 degrees C was 4.3-fold greater than at 4 degrees C, indicative of high cation selective transcellular permeability. In order to characterize the permeability of gonyautoxins, the effects of choline, ouabain, phlorizin and fluorescein were studied. The inhibition by these compounds was expressed as percent inhibition of the maximal flux of gonyautoxins at 120 min. Replacement of sodium ion by choline, showed the highest inhibition (85.5% from control). Ouabain, fluorescein and phlorizin inhibit the gonyautoxins flux by 53.9, 41.0 and 9.64%, respectively. The inhibition of gonyautoxins' permeability produced by ouabain and phlorizin go in parallel with an increase in the transmucosal electrical resistance (TER). This study shows that permeability of gonyautoxin cations occurred predominantly by the transcellular pathway (76%) when toxins were applied in the mucosal-serosal direction. The paracellular pathway of gonyautoxins was 24% of total permeability when compared with [3H] mannitol permeability. These findings suggests that permeability of gonyautoxins depends on temperature and processes involving sodium ion. Replacing sodium ions by choline ions showed a marked effect on TER.

Abstract
The molecular characteristics of thiamin (T) transport were studied in the small intestinal and renal brush border membrane vesicles of rats, using [(3)H]T at high specific activity. The effects of various chemical modifiers (amino acid blockers) on T uptake were examined and their specificity assessed. Treatment with the carboxylic specific blockers 1-cyclohexyl-3-(2-morpholinoethyl) carbodiimide metho-p-toluene sulfonate, (1-ethyl-3-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-carbodiimide hydrochloride and N-ethyl-5-phenylisoaxolium-3'-sulfonate (Woodward's Reagent K) and with the sulfhydryl specific blocker p-chloromercuribenzene sulfonate inhibited T transport in both types of vesicles. Phenylglyoxal, but not ninhydrin, both reagents for arginine residues, and diethylpyrocarbonate, a reagent for histidine residues, specifically decreased T transport only in renal and small intestinal vesicles respectively. Similarly 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole reacted, but not N-acetylimidazole, both of which are reagents for tyrosine residues. However, 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole inhibition was aspecific. Acetylsalicylic acid, a reagent for lysine and serine residues, decreased T transport, but the lysine effect was aspecific. Acetylsalicylic acid serine blockage also eliminated T/H(+) exchange in small intestinal vesicles. Taken together, these results suggest that for T transport carboxylic and sulfhydryl groups and serine residues are essential in both renal and small intestinal brush border membrane vesicles. In addition, arginine and histidine residues are also essential respectively for renal and small intestinal transporters. Serine was essential for the T/H(+) antiport mechanism.

Abstract
Treatment of the tonoplast H(+)-ATPase from mung bean seedlings (Vigna radiata L.) with histidine-specific modifier, diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEP), caused a marked loss of the ATP hydrolysis activity and the proton translocation in a concentration-dependent manner. The reaction order of inhibition was calculated to be 0.98, suggesting that at least one histidine residue of vacuolar H(+)-ATPase was modified by DEP. The absorbance of the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase at 240 nm was progressively increased after incubation with DEP, suggesting that N-carbethoxyhistidine had been formed. Hydroxylamine, which could break N-carbethoxyhistidine, reversed the absorbance change and partially restored the enzymic activity. The pK(a) of modified residues of vacuolar H(+)-ATPase was kinetically determined to be 6.73, a value close to that of histidine. Thus, it is assuredly concluded that histidine residues of the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase were modified by DEP. Kinetic analysis showed that V(max) but not K(m) of vacuolar H(+)-ATPase was decreased by DEP. This result is interpreted as that the residual activity after DEP inhibition was primarily due to the unmodified enzyme molecules. Moreover, simultaneous presence of DEP and DCCD (N,N'-dicyclohexyl-carbodiimide), an inhibitor modified at proteolipid subunit of vacuolar H(+)-ATPase, did not induce synergistic inhibition, indicating their independent effects. The stoichiometry studies further demonstrate that only one out of four histidine residues modified was involved in the inhibition of vacuolar H(+)-ATPase by DEP. Mg(2+)-ATP, the physiological substrate of vacuolar H(+)-ATPase, but not its analogs, exerted preferentially partial protection against DEP, indicating that the histidine residue involved in the inhibition of enzymatic activity may locate at/or near the active site and directly participate in the binding of the substrate.

Abstract
During renal secretion, organic cations (OC) have to pass two hydrophobic membranes (basolateral and luminal) and the intervening aqueous cytoplasm. Furthermore, an uptake in intracellular endosomes may also occur. OC transport critically depends on the presence or absence of certain inorganic anions, such as Cl-, HCO3-, and others. The interaction between inorganic anions and OC may occur during the transport across the membranes or uptake by endosomes, by alterations of the transport protein or the substrate and by changes of the intracellular pH.

Abstract
The function of positively charged residues and the interaction of positively and negatively charged residues of the rat vesicular acetylcholine transporter (rVAChT) were studied. Changing Lys-131 in transmembrane domain helix 2 (TM2) to Ala or Leu eliminated transport activity, with no effect on vesamicol binding. However, replacement by His or Arg retained transport activity, suggesting a positive charge in this position is critical. Mutation of His-444 in TM12 or His-413 in the cytoplasmic loop between TM10 and TM11 was without effect on ACh transport, but vesamicol binding was reduced with His-413 mutants. Changing His-338 in TM8 to Ala or Lys did not effect ACh transport, however replacement with Cys or Arg abolished activity. Mutation of both of the transmembrane histidines or all three of the luminal loop histidines showed no change in acetylcholine transport. The mutant H338A/D398N between oppositely charged residues in transmembrane domains showed no vesamicol binding, however the charge reversal mutant H338D/D398H restored binding. This suggests that His-338 forms an ion pair with Asp-398. The charge neutralizing mutant K131A/D425N or the charge exchanged mutant K131D/D425K did not restore ACh transport. Taken together these results provide new insights into the tertiary structure in VAChT.

Abstract
The effect of various chemical modifiers on p-aminohippurate (PAH) uptake by a potential-sensitive system and by an anion exchanger was studied in rat renal brush-border membrane vesicles. Among various chemical modifiers, diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEPC) selectively inhibited potential-sensitive PAH uptake but not the uptake by the anion exchanger. The inhibitory effect of DEPC on potential-sensitive PAH uptake was not due to the facilitated dissipation of membrane potential, which was evidenced by the studies with a potential-sensitive fluorescence dye diS-C3(5). The potential-sensitive PAH uptake was inhibited by DEPC in a concentration-dependent manner, and kinetic analysis showed that the decreased uptake of PAH in DEPC-treated vesicles was due to the decrease of Vmax. The inhibition of the PAH uptake was protected by the presence of organic anions during the DEPC treatment. These findings indicate that PAH transport by the potential-sensitive system and by the anion exchanger is mediated by structurally distinct transporters. Amino acid residue(s) modified by DEPC, most likely a histidine residue, should play an important role in the potential-sensitive transport of PAH in rat renal brush-border membrane.

Abstract
Transport of tetraethylammonium, an organic cation has been studied using renal brush-border membrane vesicles isolated from rats with ischemic and ischemia-reperfusion injury. H+ gradient-dependent uptake of tetraethylammonium slightly, but significantly, decreased in brush-border membrane vesicles from ischemic kidneys. When the kidney was reperfused after ischemia, the extent of the decrease of tetraethylammonium uptake was much greater than that after ischemia alone. The Vmax value of tetraethylammonium uptake by brush-border membrane vesicles from reperfused kidneys was decreased compared with control, without any change in the Km value. The tetraethylammonium uptake by the vesicles from reperfused kidneys was decreases both in the presence and absence of the outward H+ gradient (driving force). Uptake of D-glucose in renal brush-border membrane vesicles was also decreased by ischemia and again, reperfusion caused a further decrease of the uptake. Reperfusion also induced marked changes in the enrichment and recovery of marker enzymes in the isolated brush-border membrane fraction compared with ischemia. These findings suggest that renal ischemic injury altered the transport properties of tetraethylammonium as well as D-glucose, and that reperfusion after ischemia induced further damages on these functions in the brush-border membrane.

Abstract
The characteristics of disopyramide uptake in brush-border membrane vesicles isolated from rat renal cortex and small intestine were investigated. Transport of disopyramide into an osmotically reactive intravesicular space was observed with notable binding to the membrane surface. An outwardly directed H+ gradient stimulated disopyramide uptake, resulting in a transient uphill transport in both brush-border membranes. As for the renal brush-border membrane, the H+ gradient itself appeared to be the driving force for this stimulation of uptake. These findings suggest that disopyramide-H+ antiport is the mechanism of disopyramide action in renal cell membrane. The initial uptake was saturable (Km and Vmax of 68.0 microM and 1.25 nmol (mg protein)-1/30 s, respectively). The stimulation of disopyramide uptake by an outward H+ gradient in rat intestinal brush-border membrane was due to an interior negative H(+)-diffusion potential. A K(+)-diffusion potential (interior negative) enhanced disopyramide uptake. These results suggest that there are different mechanisms of disopyramide uptake for renal and intestinal brush-border membrane vesicles.

Abstract
Characteristics of organic cation transport system were studied in rat renal basolateral membrane and compared with those in brush-border membrane. We first examined the effect of various chemical modifiers on tetraethylammonium uptake by the membrane vesicles. Treatment with N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and phenylglyoxal (carboxyl groups and arginine residues specific reagent, respectively) resulted in inhibition of tetraethylammonium transport in both basolateral and brush-border membranes. Tetraethylammonium uptake by brush-border, but not by basolateral, membrane vesicles was decreased by diethyl pyrocarbonate, histidine residues specific reagent, treatment. Treatment of sulfhydryl groups with HgCl2 decreased tetraethylammonium transport in both membranes. However, in contrast to brush-border membrane, unlabeled tetraethylammonium failed to protect against the inhibition of [14C]tetraethylammonium uptake by p-chloromercuribenzene sulfonate in basolateral membrane. We next examined the inhibitory effect of various organic cations on tetraethylammonium uptake. The order of inhibitory potency of organic cations was somewhat different between two membranes. These findings suggest that the characteristics of organic cation transport systems in basolateral and brush-border membranes were different in regard to essential amino acid residues and the affinity of substrates.

Abstract
Transport of procainamide, an anti-arrhythmic drug, was investigated in LLC-PK1 kidney epithelial cell line. The uptake of procainamide by LLC-PK1 monolayers cultured in plastic dishes was temperature-dependent, saturable and inhibited by organic cations such as cimetidine and N-acetylprocainamide. An aminocephalosporin antibiotic, cephalexin, also inhibited procainamide uptake, but an organic anion, p-aminohippurate, did not. The uptake of procainamide was greater at an alkaline external pH than at an acidic pH. In addition, procainamide uptake increased when intracellular pH was decreased and the uptake decreased when the intracellular pH was increased by ammonium chloride treatment, indicating the involvement of an H+/procainamide antiport system in apical membrane. The basolateral to apical flux of procainamide across LLC-PK1 monolayers cultured on permeable supports was 2.5-times larger than the apical to basolateral flux, and only the former process was inhibited by other organic cations. These findings suggest that LLC-PK1 cells can transport procainamide by the organic cation transport system and that procainamide is transported unidirectionally from basolateral to apical side across the cell monolayers.

Abstract
A new method that can assess the kinetics of in vivo transepithelial transport in rat kidney has been established. The method is based upon a multiple-indicator dilution experiment and the moment analysis theory. After simultaneous bolus injections of p-aminohippurate (PAH) and inulin into the right renal artery, blood samples were taken from the carotid artery and urine was separately collected from right and left ureters. The characteristic response for the first passage of drugs through the right kidney was evaluated by taking blood circulation into consideration. To determine the mean artery-to-vein transit time and the extraction ratio in the kidney, an intravenous injection was also performed as a reference experiment for deconvolution. The urinary excretion curve corresponding to the first passage was obtained as the difference between both kidneys. The mean artery-to-lumen transit time (mean transepithelial transit time, Tcell) was computed by subtracting the mean urinary transit time of inulin from that of secreted PAH. Since transport across the luminal membrane into the lumen from tubular epithelial cells can influence the cellular residence time of drugs, Tcell and the single-pass mean residence time in epithelial cells (Tcell,sp) can be thought of describing luminal membrane transport. The value of Tcell obtained for 0.1 mM PAH was 22 sec and it was prolonged to 61 sec in the presence of probenecid, suggesting an inhibitory effect on transport across the luminal membrane. On the other hand, antiluminal membrane transport into cells from blood is characterized by the volume of distribution in the kidney (VdPAH). VdPAH was remarkably decreased by treatment with probenecid, indicating an inhibitory effect on antiluminal membrane transport. The effects of probenecid on both sides of epithelial cell membrane transport were first demonstrated in vivo. The present method is useful for the analysis of in vivo transepithelial transport including antiluminal and luminal membrane transport for drugs excreted via tubular secretion.
