Chloroplasts possess an ATP-Pa-exchange activity, which is induced by a transition from acid to base. The reaction is dependant on the presence of Mg2⨁ and a reducing agent, DTT. The exchange reaction induced by acid-base transition has properties similar to the light-triggered ATP–Pa-exchange and the ATP-synthesis induced by acid-base transition.

The renal collecting duct is the primary site for the ammonia secretion necessary for acid-base homeostasis. Recent studies have identified the presence of putative ammonia transporters in the collecting duct, but whether the collecting duct has transporter-mediated ammonia transport is unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine basolateral ammonia transport in the mouse collecting duct cell (mIMCD-3). To examine mIMCD-3 basolateral ammonia transport, we used cells grown to confluence on permeable support membranes and quantified basolateral uptake of the radiolabeled ammonia analog [14C]methylammonia ([14C]MA). mIMCD-3 cell basolateral MA transport exhibited both diffusive and transporter-mediated components. Transporter-mediated uptake exhibited a Kmfor MA of 4.6 ± 0.2 mM, exceeded diffusive uptake at MA concentrations below 7.0 ± 1.8 mM, and was competitively inhibited by ammonia with a Kiof 2.1 ± 0.6 mM. Transporter-mediated uptake was not altered by inhibitors of Na+-K+-ATPase, Na+-K+-2Cl−cotransporter, K+channels or KCC proteins, by excess potassium, by extracellular sodium or potassium removal or by varying membrane potential, suggesting the presence of a novel, electroneutral ammonia-MA transport mechanism. Increasing the outwardly directed transmembrane H+gradient increased transport activity by increasing Vmax. Finally, mIMCD-3 cells express mRNA and protein for the putative ammonia transporter Rh B-glycoprotein (RhBG), and they exhibit basolateral RhBG immunoreactivity. We conclude that mIMCD-3 cells express a basolateral electroneutral NH4+/H+exchange activity that may be mediated by RhBG.

Purified soluble bovine mitochondrial F1Fo-ATP synthase contained 2mol of ATP, 2mol of ADP and 6mol of Pi/mol. Incubation of this enzyme with 1mM [32P]Pi caused the exchange of 2mol of Pi/mol of F1Fo-ATP synthase. The labelled phosphates were not displaced by ATP. Transfer of F1Fo-ATP synthase to a buffer containing 30% (v/v) DMSO and 1mM [32P]Pi resulted in the loss of bound nucleotides with the retention of 1mol of ATP/mol of F1Fo-ATP synthase. Six molecules of [32P]Pi were incorporated by exchange with the existing bound phosphate. Removal of the DMSO by passage of the enzyme through a centrifuged column of Sephadex G-50 resulted in the exchange of one molecule of bound [32P]Pi into the bound ATP. Azide did not prevent this [32P]Pi ↔ ATP exchange reaction. The bound labelled ATP could be displaced from the enzyme by exogenous ATP. Addition of ADP to the DMSO-pretreated F1Fo-ATP synthase in the original DMSO-free buffer resulted in the formation of an additional molecule of bound ATP. It was concluded that following pretreatment with and subsequent removal of DMSO the F1Fo-ATP synthase contained one molecule of ATP at a catalytic site which was competent to carry out a phosphateŐATP exchange reaction using enzyme-bound inorganic radiolabelled phosphate. In the presence of ADP an additional molecule of labelled ATP was formed from enzyme-bound Pi at a second catalytic site. The bound phosphateŐATP exchange reaction is not readily accommodated by current mechanisms for the ATP synthase.
