| Abstract | The “reversed transport mode” of electrogenic carriers is usually difficult to assess, as substrates are metabolized after reaching the cell, and the cytosolic surface is only accessible in special experimental settings such as giant-patch techniques. In the present experiments with the two-electrode voltage clamp, we demonstrate a unique feature of the peptide transporter PEPT1 that produces huge outward transport currents when oocytes are preloaded with hydrolysis-resistant dipeptides or when intracellular hydrolysis is prevented by aminopeptidase inhibition. A rapid intracellular degradation of dipeptides in oocytes and a parallel decline of outward currents were observed by analysis of amino acids in the cells. Dipeptide hydrolysis could almost completely be blocked by preincubation of oocytes with the aminopeptidase-inhibitor bestatin, itself a substrate of PEPT1. Dipeptide-driven outward currents of bestatin-treated oocytes remained stable over at least 10 min. Unexpectedly, the outward currents at a membrane potential of +60 mV were about five times higher than the corresponding inward currents measured before preloading at −60 mV under symmetrical conditions. The huge outward current was carried by PEPT1 and did not result from opening of potassium or chloride conductances in the membrane. Dipeptide-preloading of oocytes also increased inward currents evoked by substrates provided on the outside and equal substrate concentrations on both membrane surfaces in the absence of a pH gradient resulted in a linear current–voltage relation crossing the current axis at the origin. Our data and preliminary model calculations suggest a faster turnover rate of rPEPT1 in the presence of high substrate concentrations on the cytosolic surface. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
