Abstract
The kinetics of [3H]nitrobenzylthioinosine binding to human erythrocyte membranes was studied. The pseudo-first-order association was linear and consistent with a simple bimolecular reaction mechanism between nitrobenzylthioinosine and the nucleoside-transport mechanism. Dissociation of the [3H]nitrobenzylthioinosine complex at 22 degrees C was also linear (apparent k-1 congruent to 0.20 min-1). Adenosine was a competitive inhibitor of equilibrium high-affinity [3H]nitrobenzylthioinosine-binding activity (apparent Ki 0.1 mM). Dissociation of the [3H]nitrobenzylthioinosine-membrane complex was faster in the presence of adenosine and uridine, and this effect was proportional to the nucleoside concentration. Nucleoside concentrations less than 1 mM had no significant effect on the dissociation rate constant. In contrast, dissociation was slower in the presence of high concentrations (micromolar) of dipyridamole. Low concentrations of dipyridamole (2-200 nM) and nitrobenzylthioinosine concentrations as high as 2.5 microM had no effect on the rate of [3H]nitrobenzylthioinosine dissociation. These results are discussed in terms of possible distinct inhibitor and permeation sites, and are suggested to be consistent with both a single-site model for the binding of nitrobenzylthioinosine and permeant to the same site, or an allosteric-site model in which permeant and inhibitor bind to different sites.This publication has 26 references indexed in Scilit:
