ABSTRACT This study characterizes the actions of insulin and parathyroid hormone (PTH) on the glucose transport system in the rat osteogenic sarcoma cell line UMR 106–01, which expresses a number of features of the osteoblast phenotype. Using [1,2-3H]2-deoxyglucose (2-DOG) as a label, UMR 106–01 cells were shown to possess a glucose transport system which was enhanced by insulin. In contrast, PTH influenced glucose transport in a biphasic manner with a stimulatory effect at 1 h and a more potent inhibitory effect at 16 h on basal and insulin-stimulated 2-DOG transport. To explore the mechanism of PTH action, a direct agonist of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) was tested. 8-Bromo-cAMP had no acute stimulatory effect but inhibited basal and insulin-stimulated 2-DOG transport at 16 h. This result suggested that the prolonged, but not the acute, effect of PTH was mediated by the generation of cAMP. Further studies with the cell line UMR 4–7, a UMR 106–01 clone stably transfected with an inducible mutant inactive regulatory subunit of PKA, confirmed that the inhibitory but not the stimulatory effect of PTH was mediated by the PKA pathway. Northern blot data indicated that the prolonged inhibitory effects of PTH and 8-bromo-cAMP on glucose transport were likely to be mediated in part by reduction in the levels of GLUT1 (HepG2/brain glucose transporter) mRNA.

6-O-methyl-, 6-O-propyl-, 6-O-pentyl- and 6-O-benzyl-D-galactose, and 6-O-methyl-, 6-O-propyl- and 6-O-pentyl-D-glucose inhibit the glucose-transport system of the human erythrocyte when added to the external medium. Penetration of 6-O-methyl-D-galactose is inhibited by D-glucose, suggesting that it is transported by the glucose-transport system, but the longer-chain 6-O-alkyl-D-galactoses penetrate by a slower D-glucose-insensitive route at rates proportional to their olive oil/water partition coefficients. 6-O-n-Propyl-D-glucose and 6-O-n-propyl-D-galactose do not significantly inhibit L-sorbose entry or D-glucose exit when present only on the inside of the cells whereas propyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside, which also penetrates the membrane slowly by a glucose-insensitive route, only inhibits L-sorbose entry or D-glucose exit when present inside the cells, and not when on the outside. The 6-O-alkyl-D-galactoses, like the other nontransported C-4 and C-6 derivatives, maltose and 4,6-O-ethylidene-D-glucose, protect against fluorodinitrobenzene inactivation, whereas propyl beta-D-glucopyranoside stimulates the inactivation. Of the transported sugars tested, those modified at C-1, C-2 and C-3 enhance fluorodinitrobenzene inactivation, where those modified at C-4 and C-6 do not, but are inert or protect against inactivation. An asymmetric mechanism is proposed with two conformational states in which the sugar binds to the transport system so that C-4 and C-6 are in contact with the solvent on the outside and C-1 is in contact with the solvent on the inside of the cell. It is suggested that fluorodinitrobenzene reacts with the form of the transport system that binds sugars at the inner side of the membrane. An Appendix describes the theoretical basis of the experimental methods used for the determination of kinetic constants for non-permeating inhibitors.

Abstract Background Low- and high-affinity glucose transport system is a conserved strategy of microorganism to cope with environmental glucose fluctuation for their growth and competitiveness. In Neurospora crassa, the dual-affinity glucose transport system consists of a low-affinity glucose transporter GLT-1 and two high-affinity glucose transporters HGT-1/HGT-2, which play diverse roles in glucose transport, carbon metabolism, and cellulase expression regulation. However, the regulation of this dual-transporter system in response to environmental glucose fluctuation is not yet clear. Results In this study, we report that a regulation module consisting of a downstream transcription factor COL-26 and an upstream non-transporting glucose sensor RCO-3 regulates the dual-affinity glucose transport system in N. crassa. COL-26 directly binds to the promoter regions of glt-1, hgt-1, and hgt-2, whereas RCO-3 is an upstream factor of the module whose deletion mutant resembles the Δcol-26 mutant phenotypically. Transcriptional profiling analysis revealed that Δcol-26 and Δrco-3 mutants had similar transcriptional profiles, and both mutants had impaired response to a glucose gradient. We also showed that the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) complex is involved in regulation of the glucose transporters. AMPK is required for repression of glt-1 expression in starvation conditions by inhibiting the activity of RCO-3. Conclusions RCO-3 and COL-26 form an external-to-internal module that regulates the glucose dual-affinity transport system. Transcription factor COL-26 was identified as the key regulator. AMPK was also involved in the regulation of the dual-transporter system. Our findings provide novel insight into the molecular basis of glucose uptake and signaling in filamentous fungi, which may aid in the rational design of fungal strains for industrial purposes.

The mucosal-to-serosal flux of 14C 3- O-methyl-d-glucose was compared against the electrogenic transport of d-glucose across ex vivo intestinal segments of Nile tilapia, rainbow trout, and pig in Ussing chambers. The difference in affinities ( Km “fingerprints”) between pig flux and electrogenic transport of glucose, and the absence of this difference in tilapia and trout, suggest two absorptive pathways in the pig and one in the fish species examined. More specifically, the total mucosal-to-serosal flux revealed a super high-affinity, high-capacity (sHa/Hc) total glucose transport system in tilapia; a super high-affinity, low-capacity (sHa/Lc) total glucose transport system in trout and a low-affinity, low-capacity (La/Lc) total glucose transport system in pig. Comparatively, electrogenic glucose absorption revealed similar Km in both fish species, with a super high-affinity, high capacity (sHa/Hc) system in tilapia; a super high-affinity/super low-capacity (sHa/sLc) system in trout; but a different Km fingerprint in the pig, with a high-affinity, low-capacity (Ha/Lc) system. This was supported by different responses to inhibitors of sodium-dependent glucose transporters (SGLTs) and glucose transporter type 2 (GLUT2) administered on the apical side between species. More specifically, tilapia flux was inhibited by SGLT inhibitors, but not the GLUT2 inhibitor, whereas trout lacked response to inhibitors. In contrast, the pig responded to inhibition by both SGLT and GLUT2 inhibitors with a higher expression of GLUT2. Altogether, it would appear that two pathways are working together in the pig, allowing it to have continued absorption at high glucose concentrations, whereas this is not present in both tilapia and trout.
