Irreversible inhibition, 99.8% of control values for chloride transport in human red blood cells, was obtained by well-established methods of maximum covalent binding of 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS). The kinetics of the residual chloride transport (0.2%, 106 pmol.cm-2 x s-1) at 38 degrees C, pH 7.2) was studied by means of 36Cl- efflux. The outside apparent affinity, expressed by Ko1/2,c, was 34 mM, as determined by substituting external KCl by sucrose. The residual flux was reversibly inhibited by a reexposure to DIDS, and by 4,4'-dinitrostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate (DNDS), phloretin, salicylate, and alpha-bromo-4-hydroxy-3,5-dinitroacetophenone (Killer III) (Borders, C. L., Jr., D. M. Perez, M. W. Lafferty, A. J. Kondow, J. Brahm, M. B. Fenderson, G. L. Breisford, and V. B. Pett. 1989. Bioorganic Chemistry. 17:96-107), to approximately 0.001% of control cells, which is a flux as low as in lipid bilayers. The reversible DIDS inhibition of the residual chloride flux depended on the extracellular chloride concentration, but was not purely competitive. The half-inhibition concentrations at [Cl(o)] = 150 mM in control cells (Ki,o) and covalently DIDS-treated cells (Ki,c) were: DIDS, Ki,c = 73 nM; DNDS, Ki,o = 6.3 microM, Ki,c = 22 microM; phloretin, Ki,o = 19 microM, Ki,c = 17 microM; salicylate, Ki,o = 4 mM, Ki,c = 8 mM; Killer III, Ki,o = 10 microM, Ki,c = 10 microM.

Chloride self-exchange was determined by measuring the rate of 36Cl efflux from human red blood cells at pH 7.2 (0 degrees C) in the presence of fluoride, bromide, iodide, and bicarbonate. The chloride concentration was varied between 10--400 mM and the concentration of other halides and bicarbonate between 10--300 mM. Chloride equilibrium flux showed saturation kinetics. The half-saturation constant increased and the maximum flux decreased in the presence of halides and bicarbonate: the inhibition kinetics were both competitive and noncompetitive. The competitive and the noncompetitive effects increased proportionately in the sequence: fluoride less than bromide less than iodide. The inhibitory action of bicarbonate was predominantly competitive. The noncompetitive effect of chloride (chloride self-inhibition) on chloride transport was less dominant at high inhibitor concentrations. Similarly, the noncompetitive action of the inhibitors was less dominant at high chloride concentrations. The results can be described by a carrier model with two anion binding sites: a transport site, and a second site which modifies the maximum transport rate. Binding to both types of sites increases proportionately in the sequence: fluoride less than chloride less than bromide less than iodide.

Cl Conductance

Net K and Cl effluxes induced by valinomycin or by gramicidin have been determined directly at varied external K, denoted by [K]o, in the presence and absence of the anion transport inhibitors DIDS (4,4'-diiso-thiocyano-2,2'-disulfonic acid stilbene), and its less potent analogue SITS (4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid). The results confirm that pretreatment with 10 microM DIDS, or 100 microM SITS, for 30 min at 23 degrees C inhibits conductive Cl efflux, measured in the continued presence of the inhibitors at 1 mM [K]o, by only 59-67%. This partial inhibition by 10 microM DIDS at 1 mM [K]o remains constant when the concentration of DIDS, or when the temperature or pH during pretreatment with DIDS, are increased. Observations of such partial inhibition previously prompted the postulation of two Cl conductance pathways in human red blood cells: a DIDS-sensitive pathway mediated by capnophorin (band 3 protein), and a DIDS-insensitive pathway. The present experiments demonstrate that at [K]o corresponding to values of EK between -35 and 0 mV the DIDS-insensitive component of net Cl efflux is negligible, being < or = 0.1 muMol/g Hb/min, both with valinomycin (1 microM) and with gramicidin (0.06 microgram/ml). At lower [K]o, where EK is below approximately -35 mV, the DIDS-insensitive fraction of net Cl efflux increases to 2.6 muMol/g Hb/min with valinomycin (1 microM), and to 4.8 muMol/g Hb/min with gramicidin (0.06 microgram/ml). With net fluxes determined from changes in mean cell volume, and with membrane potentials measured from changes in the external pH of unbuffered red cell suspensions, a current-voltage curve for DIDS-insensitive Cl conductance has been deduced. While specific effects of varied [K]o on net Cl efflux are unlikely but cannot strictly be ruled out, the results are consistent with the hypothesis that DIDS-insensitive Cl conductance turns on at an Em of approximately -40 mV.

Ca fluxes and H fluxes were measured in human red blood cells at 37 degrees C to characterize the effects of extracellular protons (Hout) on the Ca pump and to determine the stoichiometry of Ca-H exchange. A pH-stat technique was used to measure the rate of H influx, and 45Ca was used to determine the rate of Ca efflux. 4,4'-Diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS) was used to reduce proton permeability. A La-sensitive H influx was observed in Ca-loaded cells (Ca = 2 mmol/l packed cells) and was not observed in the cells loaded with vanadate as well as Ca. Similar results were obtained in Ca-loaded ghosts. The La dose-response curves for H influx and for Ca efflux were similar [50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) = approximately 5 microM] in intact red blood cells. The stoichiometry of the La-sensitive fluxes among different experiments ranged from 1.7 to 2.1 H/Ca when extracellular pH (pHout) = 6.3. Thus the Ca pump in intact red blood cells mediates Ca-2H exchange at pHout = 6.3. A 100-fold decrease in Hout [from pH 6.5 to 8.5; intracellular pH (pHin) approximately 7.4] only decreased Ca efflux 1.5- to 3-fold, hence Hout had little effect on the overall rate under the conditions studied. The small effect of Hout was a surprising result for a Ca-H exchange system, since one would have expected a steep dependence of Ca pump on Hout at Hout less than the Michaelis constant (Km). However, no La-sensitive H influx was observed when pHout = 8. On the basis of these data, it is suggested that the Ca pump also mediates Ca efflux uncoupled from H influx (Ca2+/phi H+). Ca efflux in the presence of 11 mM extracellular Ca (Caout) was one-fifth the value obtained in the absence of Caout at pHout = 8.5; this inhibition was reversed by increasing Hout (to pH 6.1). These results are consistent with a model in which 1) the Ca pump mediates Ca2+/2H+ exchange at high Hout; 2) the Ca pump mediates Ca2+/phi H+ exchange at low pHout; 3) the rates of the two processes are less than or equal to 4-fold different; 4) Caout inhibits pump activity at low Hout; and 5) Caout competes with Hout for binding.

Stilbene-sensitive glycine transport was investigated in human red blood cells and ghosts. We have found that this component of glycine transport was inhibited by the stilbene derivatives 4,4'-dinitrostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DNDS) and 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS); the apparent constant for inhibition by DNDS was 4 microM in the presence of 150 mM chloride. DNDS-sensitive glycine influx was modulated by pH such that as pH was increased from 5.9 to 9.2, transport increased from 2.5 to 140 mumol.kg Hb-1.h-1 at 37 degrees C and 100 microM glycine. The increased transport was correlated with an increase in the amount of glycine present as the anion over this pH range (0.03-40 microM glycine anion), but, in addition, pH had a direct effect on transport. Glycine influx was studied as a function of glycine anion concentration with anion varied by changing pH at a constant total glycine concentration and by changing total glycine at a constant pH. A comparison of these data demonstrated that the stilbene-sensitive glycine anion flux is stimulated by protons with half-maximal stimulation below pH 6.5 and suggests that the glycine anion and a proton are cotransported. Inorganic anions transported by band 3, including Cl, NO3, and SO4, inhibited glycine transport. Glycine flux into resealed ghosts was inhibited by Cl with an inhibition constant of 25 mM. The similarities between the kinetic constants for transport inhibition by Cl and DNDS and the kinetic constants for Cl and DNDS binding to band 3 suggest that the DNDS-sensitive glycine anion and proton cotransport is via band 3.

Hydroxide Fluxes

Upon exposure of human red blood cells to hypertonic sucrose, the fluorescence of the potentiometric indicator 3,3'-dipropylthiadicarbocyanine iodide, denoted diS-C3(5), displays a biphasic time course indicating the rapid development of an inside-positive transmembrane voltage, followed by a slow DIDS (4,4'-diisothiocyano-2,2'-disulfonic acid stilbene)-sensitive decline of the voltage. In addition to monitoring membrane potential, proton (or hydroxide) fluxes were measured by a pH stat method, cell volume was monitored by light scattering, and cell electrolytes were measured directly when red cells were shrunken either with hypertonic NaCl or sucrose. Shrinkage by sucrose induced an initial proton efflux (or OH- influx) of 5.5 mu eq/g Hb.min and a Cl shift of 21-31 mu eq/g Hb in 15 min. Upon shrinkage with hypertonic NaCl, the cells are initially close to Donnan equilibrium and exhibit no detectable shift of Cl or protons. Experiments with the carbonic anhydrase inhibitor ethoxzolamide demonstrate that for red cell suspensions exposed to air and shrunken with sucrose, proton fluxes mediated by the Jacobs-Stewart cycle contribute to dissipation of the increased outward Cl concentration gradient. With maximally inhibitory concentrations of ethoxzolamide, a residual proton efflux of 2 mu eq/g Hb.min is insensitive to manipulation of the membrane potential with valinomycin, but is completely inhibited by DIDS. The ethoxzolamide-insensitive apparent proton efflux may be driven against the electrochemical gradient, and is thus consistent with HCl cotransport (or Cl/OH exchange). The data are consistent with predictions of equations describing nonideal osmotic and ionic equilibria of human red blood cells. Thus osmotic equilibration after shrinkage of human red blood cells by hypertonic sucrose occurs in two time-resolved steps: rapid equilibration of water followed by slower equilibration of chloride and protons (or hydroxide). Under our experimental conditions, about two-thirds of the osmotically induced apparent proton efflux is mediated by the Jacobs-Stewart cycle, with the remainder being consistent with mediation via DIDS-sensitive HCl cotransport (or Cl/OH exchange).
