Abstract
10 mM isatin (2,3-dioxoindole) inhibited glucose influx into human erythrocytes by over 30%. The inhibition is of the competitive type, where the affinity constant (Kt) was increased from 5.71 (control) to 11.11 mM in the presence of isatin with no change in Vmax (130 nmol/min/ml packed cells). The observed inhibition of sugar transport by isatin was not mediated through membrane -SH groups accessible to iodoacetate, iodoacetamide, DTNB, DNP or sodium arsenite. Isatin inhibited sugar transport in the presence of 2 mM harmaline, an alkaloid inhibitor of Na+, K(+)-ATPase activity. The inhibition was non additive which suggests that these two compounds interact with the same or a similar site on the erythrocyte membrane.

Abstract
The cell membranes of various bacteria contain proton-linked transport systems for D-xylose, L-arabinose, D-galactose, D-glucose, L-rhamnose, L-fucose, lactose, and melibiose. The melibiose transporter of E. coli is linked to both Na+ and H+ translocation. The substrate and inhibitor specificities of the monosaccharide transporters are described. By locating, cloning, and sequencing the genes encoding the sugar/H+ transporters in E. coli, the primary sequences of the transport proteins have been deduced. Those for xylose/H+, arabinose/H+, and galactose/H+ transport are homologous to each other. Furthermore, they are just as similar to the primary sequences of the following: glucose transport proteins found in a Cyanobacterium, yeast, alga, rat, mouse, and man; proteins for transport of galactose, lactose, or maltose in species of yeast; and to a developmentally regulated protein of Leishmania for which a function is not yet established. Some of these proteins catalyze facilitated diffusion of the sugar without cation transport. From the alignments of the homologous amino acid sequences, predictions of common structural features can be made: there are likely to be twelve membrane-spanning alpha-helices, possibly in two groups of six; there is a central hydrophilic region, probably comprised largely of alpha-helix; the highly conserved amino acid residues (40-50 out of 472-522 total) form discrete patterns or motifs throughout the proteins that are presumably critical for substrate recognition and the molecular mechanism of transport. Some of these features are found also in other transport proteins for citrate, tetracycline, lactose, or melibiose, the primary sequences of which are not similar to each other or to the homologous series of transporters. The glucose/Na+ transporter of rabbit and man is different in primary sequence to all the other sugar transporters characterized, but it is homologous to the proline/Na+ transporter of E. coli, and there is evidence for its structural similarity to glucose/H+ transporters in Plants. In vivo and in vitro mutagenesis of the lactose/H+ and melibiose/Na+ (H+) transporters of E. coli has identified individual amino acid residues alterations of which affect sugar and/or cation recognition and parameters of transport. Most of the bacterial transport proteins have been identified and the lactose/H+ transporter has been purified. The directions of future investigations are discussed.

Abstract
Inhibition of hexose transport by N-ethylmaleimide was studied with regard to alkylation of different types of sulfhydryl group on the hexose carrier of the human erythrocyte. Uptake of 3-O-methylglucose was progressively and irreversibly inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide, with a half-maximal effect at 10-13 mM. A sulfhydryl group known to exist on the exofacial carrier was not involved in transport inhibition by N-ethylmaleimide, since reversible protection of this group by the impermeant sulfhydryl reagent 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) had no effect on the ability of N-ethylmaleimide to inhibit transport, or on its ability to decrease the affinity of the exofacial carrier for maltose. Nevertheless, the exofacial sulfhydryl was quite reactive with N-ethylmaleimide, since it was possible using a differential labeling technique to specifically label this group in protein-depleted ghosts with a half-maximal effect at 0.3 mM N-[3H]ethylmaleimide, and to localize it to the Mr 19,000 tryptic carrier fragment. Transport inhibition by N-ethylmaleimide correlated best with labeling of a single cytochalasin B-sensitive internal sulfhydryl group on the glycosylated Mr 23,000-40,000 tryptic fragment of the carrier, which was half-maximally labeled at about 4 mM reagent. Whereas N-ethylmaleimide readily alkylates the exofacial carrier sulfhydryl, it inhibits transport by reacting with at least one internal carrier sulfhydryl located on the glycosylated tryptic carrier fragment.

Abstract
In earlier work this author put forward a model of the Na,K ATPase complex as a general transport channel. Detailed treatment was limited to anion and monovalent cation transport. Here the functional mechanisms of the Na,K ATPase and similar protein channels as transport routes for all ionic fluxes and also amino acid, sugar and other solutes are presented. Anions, monosaccharide -OH groups and amino acid carboxyls bind to common arginyls and lose hydration water. They combine with cations which bind to adjacent side chain carboxyls, forming neutral ion pairs or positively charged complexes which have minimums in size, hydration and free polar groups. The smaller size and polarity facilitate entry into the tight, structured water channel of some 8-10 A outer bore. Solute fluxes depend on membrane redox activity which maintains channel sulfhydryls in reduced state required for proper transport. ATP binding at channels contributes to transport conformation while ATP hydrolysis gives high efflux of Na+, H+ and Ca2+ as phosphate ion pairs. This cation efflux current clears cations from inner membrane sites, increases negative potential and provides Na+ and H+ about the outer combining sites, while maintaining their inward gradients. Binding of many agents widens the outer bore to give larger, less selective influx.

Abstract
The glucose transport carrier in human erythrocyte membranes, when transporting glucose, undergoes a conformation change. In an attempt to delineate the extent of this substrate-induced conformational change, transport inactivation by 7-chloro-4-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole, N-ethylmaleimide, iodoacetamide, and 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid was examined in the presence and in the absence of D-glucose. All these alkylating agents inactivated the carrier. With each of these reagents, with the exception of trinitrobenzene-sulfonic acid, D-glucose modified the rate of inactivation as well as the activation enthalpy (delta H*) of the inactivation. The inactivation by trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid was not affected by the sugar. Based on these findings, it is suggested that the substrate-induced conformational change mostly occurs within the transmembrane hydrophobic domain while the hydrophilic extramembrane domains are largely outside of this change.

Abstract
A preparation of band 4.5 protein of the red cell membrane, containing largely the sugar transporter, was labelled with the sulfhydryl reagent N-ethyl [14C]maleimide. In preparations denatured with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), all five sulfhydryl groups present in the peptide, Mr 45 000 to 60 000, react with the alkylating agent within 20 min at 37 degrees C. If the peptide is reconstituted in lipid vesicles and cleaved with trypsin before extraction and denaturation with SDS, three sulfhydryl groups are found in a 30 kDa fragment and two in a 19 kDa fragment. In 'native' reconstituted protein only three groups react, even after two hours of exposure, two in the 30 kDa fragment and one in the 19 kDa fragment. Thus, one sulfhydryl group is cryptic, inaccessible to N-ethylmaleimide in each fragment. In intact cells, the single reactive group of the 19 kDa fragment can be protected against reaction with N-ethylmaleimide by the impermeant sulfhydryl reagent, p-chloromercuribenzene sulfonate (PCMBS). It is, therefore, considered to be exposed on the outer face of the membrane. The two reactive groups of the 30 kDa fragment are not protected by PCMBS and are, therefore, not considered to be exposed to the outside medium. Cytochalasin B, a competitive inhibitor of sugar transport affords temporary protection of the exofacial group of the 19 kDa against reaction with N-ethylmaleimide, and affords longer term protection of one of the reactive groups of the 30 kDa fragment. These findings allow conclusions about the topology of the sugar transport protein in the bilayer. Both proteolytic fragments must cross the bilayer. One of three reactive sulfhydryl groups is exofacial and two may be cytoplasmic. The two cryptic groups may be located within the bilayer.

Abstract
Studies with intact cells have implicated essential sulfhydryl groups in the carrier-mediated glucose transport of human erythrocytes. In an attempt to identify and characterize such essential sulfhydryl residues we have studied the interaction of p-chloromercuribenzoate (PCMB) with a purified glucose transporter preparation (band 4.5) from human erythrocytes, in the presence and absence of its ligands, and the effects of this interaction on the binding of cytochalasin B (CB) to the transporter. At least 3 mol of PCMB reacted per mol of this preparation. A portion of the reaction was significantly enhanced in the presence of cytochalasin B. This enhancement was a saturable function of CB concentration, and was half-maximal at a CB concentration equal to the dissociation constant for the CB binding to the preparation. This CB-sensitive, PCMB reaction product comigrated with the band 4.5 on lithium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. An excess of D-glucose did not affect the PCMB reaction by itself in the absence of CB, but totally abolished the CB-induced enhancement of the PCMB reaction. PCMB inhibited the CB binding activity of the transporter preparation, and this inhibition was also enhanced in the presence of CB. These results suggest that CB binding perturbs the conformational dynamics of the glucose transporter resulting in an exposure of at least two sulfhydryl residues to PCMB reaction, and that some of these CB-sensitive sulfhydryl groups are essential for CB binding to the transporter.

Abstract
Sodium tetrathionate reacts with the glucose carrier of human erythrocytes at a rate which is greatly altered in the presence of competitive inhibitors of glucose transport. Inhibitors bound to the carrier on the outer surface of the membrane, either at the substrate site (maltose) or at the external inhibition site (phloretin and phlorizin), more than double the reaction rate. Inhibitors bound at the internal inhibition site (cytochalasin B and androstenedione), protect the system against tetrathionate. After treatment with tetrathionate, the maximum transport rate falls to less than one-third, and the properties of the binding sites are modified in unexpected ways. The affinity of externally bound inhibitors rises: phloretin is bound up to seven times more strongly and phlorizin and maltose twice as strongly. The affinity of cytochalasin B, bound at the internal inhibition site, falls to half while that of androstenedione is little changed. The affinity of external glucose falls slightly. Androstenedione prevents both the fall in transport activity and the increase in phloretin affinity produced by tetrathionate. An inhibitor of anion transport has no effect on the reaction. The observations support the following conclusions: Tetrathionate produces its effects on the glucose transport system by reacting with the carrier on the outer surface of the membrane. The carrier assumes distinct inward-facing and outward-facing conformations, and tetrathionate reacts with only the outward-facing form. The thiol group with which tetrathionate is presumed to react is not present in either the substrate site or the internal or external inhibitor site.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The putative hexose transport component of Band 4.5 protein of the human erythrocyte membrane was covalently photolabelled with [3H]cytochalasin B. Its transmembrane topology was investigated by electrophoretically monitoring the effect of proteinases applied to intact erythrocytes, unsealed ghosts, and a reconstituted system. Band 4.5 was resistant to proteolytic digestion at the extracellular face of the membrane in intact cells at both high and low ionic strengths. Proteolysis at the cytoplasmic face of the membrane in ghosts or reconstituted vesicles resulted in cleavage of the transporter into two membrane-bound fragments, a peptide of about 30 kDa that contained its carbohydrate moiety, and a 20 000 kDa nonglycosylated peptide that bore the cytochalasin B label. Because it is produced by a cleavage at the cytoplasmic face and because the carbohydrate moiety is known to be exposed to the outside, the larger fragment must cross the bilayer. It has been reported that the Band 4.5 sugar transporter may be derived from Band 3 peptides by endogenous proteolysis, but the cleavage pattern found in the present study differs markedly from that previously reported for Band 3. Minimization of endogenous proteolysis by use of fresh cells, proteinase inhibitors, immediate use of ghosts and omission of the alkaline wash resulted in no change in the incorporation of [3H]cytochalasin B into Band 4.5, and no labelling of Band 3 polypeptides. These results suggest that the cytochalasin B binding component of Band 4.5 is not the product of proteolytic degradation of a Band 3 component.

Abstract
A membrane-rich preparation was isolated from adult rat skeletal muscle in low salt media and further fractionated in sucrose gradients. Fraction F2, with a relative density of 1.092-1.119, consisted of sealed membrane vesicles which were enriched in plasma membrane markers. These vesicles were capable of stereospecific D-glucose uptake which was sensitive to cytochalasin B (CB). The membranes were also enriched in high affinity [3H]CB binding activity (Kd of 0.28 microM). [3H]CB binding to the glucose carrier of these plasma membranes, estimated as the fraction of binding protectable by D-glucose, ranged between 2.5 and 7.4 pmol/mg protein in several membrane preparations. The amount of [3H]CB binding to muscle membranes from newborn and adult rats was not markedly different. Trypsin, at low concentrations, altered the molecular weight of several membrane components, without affecting [3H]CB binding. Higher concentrations of trypsin abolished [3H]CB binding. Both 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (0.1 mM) and N-ethylmaleimide (15 mM) inhibited [3H]CB binding; inhibition by these reagents was prevented by inclusion of micromolar concentrations of CB in the reaction mixture. Several procedures that extracted specific proteins enriched the D-glucose-sensitive [3H]CB binding to the protein-depleted membranes. Antibody raised against the glucose carrier of human red cell membranes cross-reacted with a polypeptide of Mr about 45K of muscle membranes which might represent the glucose carrier.

Abstract
Treatment of methyl 4-O-mesy-alpha-D-galactopyranoside with benzyl bromide in N,N-dimethylformamide in the presence of silver oxide yielded methyl 2,3,6-tri-O-benzyl-4-O-mesyl-alpha-D-galactopyranoside which with tert-butylammonium fluoride at reflux underwent nucleophilic displacement to give methyl 2,3,6-tri-O-benzyl-4-deoxy-4-fluoro-alpha-D-glucopyranoside. This compound on hydrogenolysis provided crystalline methyl 4-deoxy-4-fluoro-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (9). The structure of 9 was established by its conversion to the 2,3,6-tri-O-acetyl derivative and by n.m.r. and m.s. analysis. Acid hydrolysis of 9 gave 4-deoxy-4-fluoro-D-glucose (1). A modification of an established synthesis of 4-deoxy-D-xylo-hexose (2) from methyl 2,3,6-tri-O-benzoyl-alpha-D-galactopyranoside is described. A systematic comparison was made of the transport parameters (Kx and Vmax) of D-glucose, 2, and 1 in human erythrocytes. The Kx values observed for the above sugars are: 4.0mM, 4.5mM, and 4.6mM, respectively. These results indicate that O-4 in beta-D-glucopyranose is not involved in hydrogen bonding to the carrier protein associated with the transport of D-glucose in the erythrocyte.

Abstract
The irreversible inhibition of glucose transport by 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (FDNB) has been used to identify membrane proteins possibly associated with glucose transport in human erythrocytes. D-Glucose was shown to enhance significantly the rate of FDNB inhibition of transport when present during the reaction, whereas cytochalasin B (CB) and D-maltose retarded this FDNB inhibition of transport. This modulation of the inhibition reaction formed basis for a double isotopic differential labeling technique using [14C]- and [3H] FDNB followed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to distinguish transport-associated polypeptides from bulk membrane dinitrophenylated proteins. Reactions in the presence of CB or maltose revealed the presence of a differentially labeled polypeptide(s), with a molecular weight of approximately 60,000-65,000 daltons. This effect could in part be reversed in the presence of D-glucose but not L-glucose. Reactions in the presence of D-glucose resulted in two regions of differential labeling. One region was around 200,000 daltons and the other corresponded to a 90,000-dalton band. Extraction of membrane proteins with p-chloromercuribenzene sulfonate resulted in no loss of the 60,000-dalton peak, indicating that this labeled polypeptide(s) was firmly anchored in the hydrophobic core of the membrane. These results indicate that as many as three membrane polypeptides are differentially labeled by FDNB under conditions strongly associated with the inhibition of the glucose transport system and may be involved in the regulation of glucose transport.

Abstract
Isolated tubules from rabbit kidney cortex were treated with several different sulfhydryl reagents in an attempt to determine whether sulfhydryl groups are involved in organic acid transport. Disulfide reagents such as sodium tetrathionate and 6,6'-dithionicotinic acid were found to exert a biphasic effect on p-aminohippuric acid transport, i.e. transient stimulation followed by inhibition. In contrast, treatment of tubules with the mercaptide-forming reagent, p-chloromercuribenzoate, caused only inhibition of organic acid transport. Treatment of tubules with reductants such as dithiothreitol or mercaptoethanol blocked the stimulatory effect of tetrathionate without affecting the inhibitory effect of this oxidant. The inhibition caused by p-chloromercuribenzoate, however, was largely reversible when tubules were treated with reductants. The results suggest that the renal organic acid transport system contains sulfhydryl groups and that its activity is increased when some of these groups are oxidized.

Abstract
Elucidation of the mechanism of facilitated D-glucose transport in human erythrocytes is dependent on the identification and isolation of the membrane protein(s) mediating this process. Based on the fact that stereospecific D-glucose transport is reconstituted in liposomes prepared by sonication of a lipid suspension with ghosts or fractions derived from ghosts, a quantitative assay for the stereospecific D-glucose transport activity of these fractions was developed (Zala CA, Kahlenberg A: Biochem Biophys Res Commun 72:866, 1976). This assay was used to monitor the purification of ghosts. The solubilized membrane protein fraction was chromatographed on a column of diethylaminoethyl cellulose which was eluted stepwise with NaCl-phosphate buffers of increasing ionic strength. A fraction, eluted at an ionic strength of 0.1, displayed a 13- and 27-fold increase in reconstituted transport activity relative to ghosts and to the unfractionated Triton X-100 extract, respectively. This fraction, when analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, consisted predominantly of the ghost proteins with an apparent molecular weight of 55,000, commonly designated as zone 4.5; periodic acid-Schiff-sensitive membrane glycoproteins 1-4 were absent. Transport reconstituted by this preparation of zone 4.5 membrane proteins was almost completely abolished by 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, mercuric chloride, and p-chloromercuribenzene sulfonate, but was unaffected by sodium iodoacetate. Extra- and intraliposomal phloretin and cytochalasin B, respectively, exhibited partial inhibition. The stereospecificity and inhibition characteristics of the reconstituted transport imply that all the components of the erythrocyte D-glucose transport system are contained in the zone 4.5 membrane protein preparation.

Abstract
The finding that acetylated Sephadex G 200 swells in chloroform/methanol mixture and still acts as a molecular sieve has permitted for the first time the separation of several proteolipid fractions from brain white matter, two of which appear almost free of phospholipids. This new procedure will be useful not only for a rapid purification of proteolipids and separation of lipids but also for general purposes of protein chemistry in organic media. However, it is predictable that one of the main uses of the method will be in the isolation of membrane carrier and of cholinergic receptor proteins, since these components appear to be of proteolipid(-like) nature.

Abstract
Phosphatidylethanolamine in freshly drawn human erythrocytes is trinitrophenylated by 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid only slowly and to a maximum of 32%. After different preincubation procedures at 37 degrees C in saline media in the absence of glucose (24 h without additive, 1-5 h with 8 mM hexanol or 1-4 h with the SH reagent, 5 mM tetrathionate) the rate of subsequent trinitrophenylation of phosphatidylethanolamine, in the absence of the additives, is greatly enhanced and the amount of phospholipid reacting increased. Glucose or inosine prevent these effects, inhibitors of glycosis abolish this protection. The results indicate that in fresh as well as in glycolysing incubated erythrocytes phosphatidylethanolamine in the outer layer of the membrane lipid is shielded by a protein. Conformational changes of this protein induced by metabolic starvation and perturbing agents expose the phospholipid head group to 2, 4, 6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid. In addition, a "flip-flop" of phosphatidylethanolamine from the inner to the outer layer may also contribute to the effects observed.

Abstract
Showdomycin [2-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)maleimide] is a nucleoside antibiotic containing a maleimide ring and which is structurally related to uridine. Showdomycin inhibited rat brain (Na+ + K+)-ATPase irreversibly by an apparently bimolecular reaction with a rate constant of about 11.01-mol- minus 1-min- minus 1. Micromolar concentrations of ATP protected against this inhibition but uridine triphosphate or uridine were much less effective. In the presence of K+, 100 MUM ATP was unable to protect against inhibition by showdomycin. These observations show that showdomycin inhibits (Na+ + K+)-ATPase by reacting with a specific chemical group or groups at the nucleotide-binding site on this enzyme. Inhibition by showdomycin appears to be more selective for this site than that due to tetrathionate or N-ethylmaleimide. Since tetrathionate is a specific reactant for sulfhydryl groups it appears likely that the reactive groups are sulfhydryl groups. The data thus show that showdomycin is a relatively selective nucleotide-site-directed inhibitor of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase and inhibiton is likely due to the reaction of showdomycin with sulfhydryl group(s) at the nucleotide-binding site on this enzyme.

Abstract
It is shown that alloxan inhibits binding of SITS to liver cells. This indicates the cell membrane as a site of alloxan action. Alloxan is found to react with tissues to form complexes that are detectable up to 3 hrs after alloxan treatment. On the basis of the present findings, an assumption is made that alloxan inhibits a cell membrane processes by blockade of functionally importnat groups.
