Abstract
Depletion of ATP is known to inhibit glucose transport in human erythrocytes, but the kinetic mechanism of this effect is controversial. Selective ATP depletion of human erythrocytes by 10 μg/ml A23187 in the presence of extracellular calcium inhibited 3- O-methylglucose influx noncompetitively and efflux competitively. ATP depletion also decreased the ability of either equilibrated 3- O-methylglucose or extracellular maltose to inhibit cytochalasin B binding in intact cells, whereas neither total high-affinity cytochalasin B binding nor its K d was affected. Under the one-site model of hexose transport these data indicate that ATP depletion decreases both the affinity of the inward-facing glucose carrier for substrate and its ability to reorient outwardly in intact cells.
